Brockenhurst Thermal Roof Survey
Find out the condition of the roof at your property in Brockenhurst. We visit on weekdays and at weekends.
- Damp around roof outlets and upstands
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
- Water getting in at parapets and stacks
How we price thermal roof surveys
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Thermal roof survey starts from £400, including VAT.
Booking your survey
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- What’s prompted the survey
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Dates you’re working to, like exchange
- Where the property is, with the postcode
Every survey is priced before it’s booked, so you know where you stand. Thermal roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. To book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
How a thermal roof survey works in Brockenhurst
Thermal imaging is part of our Premium Survey, which starts from £400. You also get a drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and a report on the same day. An in-person consultation and a 12-month follow-up are included too. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a note of what you’ve noticed. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size. If you are worried about moisture around outlets and upstands and heat escaping through the roof, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Older cottages and houses around Brockenhurst may have little insulation, and some have extensions with their own roofs. Thermal patterns and close-up photos together give a fuller picture of the roof. Findings are checked with moisture readings where needed. Results depend on the weather, so the visit is planned around the forecast.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly.

What happens on the day
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. All told, expect about 1–2 hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. For a survey in Brockenhurst, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. Let us know about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- We start with the roof, its history and any signs of damp or heat loss.
- We check the conditions and note how they may affect the images.
- We inspect the roof and take thermal images during the same visit.
- Moisture readings are used to check what the camera shows.
- You get the report the same day, with an in-person consultation to follow.
Preparing for the visit
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Leave a clear route to the loft

Thermal roof surveys around Brockenhurst
The coast is about 5 miles or less from Brockenhurst. Thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof surface and little wind, so the date is chosen with the forecast in mind. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so the council is the place to ask.
Take an older house close to Church of St Saviour: older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where aerial photos and thermal images help. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Brockenhurst Church of England Primary School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof. Hotels and guest houses near Brockenhurst can’t easily close rooms for a leak.

Questions from Brockenhurst
Is Brockenhurst in the area you cover?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Brockenhurst is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property.
How do I find out if my home in Brockenhurst is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
What does the report include?
A written report with photos, covering the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection and a structural check, and the Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies and structural analysis.
Does the weather affect a thermal survey?
Conditions on the day have a big effect on what the camera can show. A dry surface, little wind and a sunny spell beforehand help most. We record the conditions in the report, so you know how much weight to give the images.
Are you structural engineers?
No. Our survey isn’t a structural engineer’s report. We’ll recommend an engineer if we see signs that call for one.
How long will you be at the property?
It typically takes between one and two hours for a house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. We will confirm the timing as you book.
Which survey includes thermal imaging?
It’s part of the Premium Survey, from £400. An in-person consultation and a follow-up 12 months later are included too. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size.
Tips that help
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Keep outlets and gutters clear to stop water sitting
- Use the report as a baseline for later checks
- Keep a record of when stains appear
- Check the loft can be reached safely
Premium Surveys include an in-person consultation, giving you the chance to talk through the images and findings. A follow-up 12 months later is included as well.
Clear outlets and gutters regularly, so water doesn’t sit on the roof. The less water sits, the less can find its way beneath.
How the survey changes by roof type
GRP fibreglass roofs
GRP roofs are laid over timber boards, so trapped moisture can affect the deck. Thermal imaging can suggest where that may be happening.
Loft insulation
The difference is clearest when the home is heated and it’s cold out. Our report notes how the conditions affected the images.
Why get it checked now?
Without thermal imaging, the only way to see how far water has spread is often to open up the roof. It helps when deciding whether to patch an area or replace the roof. Arranging work in a smaller place like Brockenhurst is easier with notice than in an emergency. A survey gives you that notice.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.
