Thermal Roof Survey in Burridge
A careful look at the roof at your property in Burridge, with photographs and a written report.
- Stains that keep coming back
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
What we do, step by step
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. You’re welcome to ask questions while we are there. In a small place like Burridge, access is normally the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe positions.
- We take thermal images of the roof and of the loft where we can reach it.
- Patterns that stand out are checked with moisture readings.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
Getting ready for the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
Arrange a survey
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Advice
Thermal roof survey in Burridge: what you get
A thermal survey can point to places where heat is escaping through the roof. Missing or slipped insulation and gaps at the eaves often show up as temperature differences. The difference shows most clearly when it is warm inside and cold outside. Our report points out what the images suggest and where to look more closely. We do not give energy ratings or heat loss calculations. We survey commercial roofs, flat roofs and insulated roof spaces, and the problems we are asked to look at most are damp around roof outlets and upstands and damp patches with no obvious cause.
Villages like Burridge often stand in open country, where wind can be strong. High wind or heavy rain stops a small drone flying, and calm conditions also suit thermal imaging best. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. A change in the forecast can mean moving the visit to another day.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Honest limits
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, and that sets some limits:
- Proving moisture from the images alone
- What’s inside walls or under coverings, without opening up
- A formal energy assessment

How we price thermal roof surveys
Our packages start from £150, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on:
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all including VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Helping us price your survey
We’ll typically ask about:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- What made you get in touch
When you’re ready to go ahead, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. We will suggest a package, agree the price and find a date, weekday or weekend.
Practical tips
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Keep the heating on as usual before a heat loss survey
- Check outlets after heavy rain
- Ask us about the forecast if rain is expected
- Take photos of stains as they appear, so we can compare
You can pass the report to a roofer so they can see where the problem areas seem to be. Because the images are paired with photos, it is easy to find each area on the roof.
Check that loft insulation is laid evenly and hasn’t been pushed aside. Gaps frequently appear after work in the loft.
For landlords and managing agents
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the survey around it.
Landlords, agents and building managers in Burridge and across Hampshire can book any of our surveys. To discuss a property or a block, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Can I check my roof myself?
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Common questions in Burridge
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Burridge?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you cover Burridge?
Yes, Burridge is within the area we cover. We work right across London and the South East. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property.
How fast do I get the report?
That depends on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. The report is emailed to you.
Can a thermal survey trace a roof leak?
Thermal imaging can help, alongside other checks. The results depend on conditions on the day. If the source can’t be confirmed, we’ll say what could help next, like electronic leak detection.
What will the report tell me?
Written findings with photographs, 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.
What insurance do you have?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
What can thermal imaging tell me about my roof?
It records surface temperature across the roof. Differences can suggest wet areas, missing insulation or heat loss, and we check them with moisture readings.
Airspace, weather and Burridge roofs
Burridge lies within about 4 miles of the sea, and coastal wind can be strong. 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. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these.
Around Burridge, as everywhere, small roof faults are simplest to sort before they let water in. Anyone responsible for a site like Whiteley Primary School will know that a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.
