Thermal imaging roof survey in Broxhill, Hampshire
Thermal imaging to find moisture and heat loss patterns in a roof in Broxhill, with drones and thermal imaging where they help. Get in touch for a price.
- Gaps in loft insulation
- Wet areas near outlets and upstands
- Damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys
What happens on the day
You do not need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll take it from there. The survey itself takes about one to two hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. Older rural homes like those around Broxhill can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- 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.
- A full inspection and thermal imaging are carried out together.
- Moisture readings are used to check what the camera shows.
- You get the report the same day, with an in-person consultation to follow.
How to prepare
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Find any records of previous roof work
Book a survey
If you are buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email when you’re ready.
Advice
How a thermal roof survey works in Broxhill
Flat roofs over extensions, garages, flats and commercial buildings are where thermal imaging often helps most. It can show patterns that point to trapped moisture under the membrane. Pitched roofs with slates or tiles are often harder to read, because of the air space beneath, so we combine the camera with an inspection from the loft where there’s safe access. If you are worried about damp patches with no obvious cause and gaps in loft insulation, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Broxhill, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you can’t get from the ground. Weather and airspace are looked at ahead of the visit, and the journey is planned in advance. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Honest limits
It is a careful look at the roof, not the whole story. The main limits are:
- What’s inside walls or under coverings, without opening up
- Reliable images in rain, strong wind or on a wet roof surface
- An energy rating for the building

Questions from Broxhill
Do you carry out roof surveys in Broxhill?
Yes, Broxhill is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details.
Will you come out to Broxhill?
Yes, Broxhill is covered. We work right across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is thermal imaging good for finding leaks?
It frequently helps show where to look. Water can travel under a covering before it shows inside, and temperature patterns can help follow it. We combine it with a visual inspection and moisture readings, as the camera alone cannot prove a leak.
What can thermal imaging tell me about my roof?
A thermal camera shows differences in surface temperature. The patterns can suggest wet insulation, gaps in insulation or heat escaping. We check what it shows with moisture readings.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Which survey includes thermal imaging?
Our Premium Survey, from £400, includes thermal imaging. An in-person consultation and a follow-up 12 months later are included too. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size.
What a thermal roof survey looks like in Broxhill
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand. Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St James, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that is where a view by drone or thermal camera helps.

What a survey costs
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- The roof’s overall size
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- The shape of the roof and its details
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: 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.
Getting in touch
A little information up front helps. It helps to include:
- What’s prompted the survey
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email, tell us about the property and we will suggest the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Why act early in Broxhill
Trapped water can harm decks, timbers and ceilings the longer it stays. Surveying sooner gives you more choice about what to do. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Broxhill, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Our price is from £400, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and the package you choose.
Why us?
- Clear package prices, including VAT
- An independent view of the roof
- More than 5,000 surveys completed
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

What we look for on each type of roof
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
Built-up felt and asphalt roofs can hide trapped water for a long time. Thermal imaging helps suggest where it is, when the conditions allow.
GRP fibreglass roofs
Water under a GRP roof can reach the timber deck. Thermal imaging can suggest where that may be happening.
What we’re asked to look at in Broxhill
Flat roofs that have leaked for a while can have wet insulation under the covering. Owners want to know how far it has spread before deciding what to do. Thermal images and moisture readings together can show the likely extent.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
- Damp around roof outlets and upstands
- Cold spots on ceilings under the roof
In and around Broxhill, as anywhere, a roof is easiest to deal with when its problems are found early.
Before booking anyone
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Are they insured for the work?
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- What follow-up you get after the report
