How a thermal roof survey works in Catisfield
Thermal imaging can also show where a roof is losing heat. Gaps in loft insulation and poorly insulated areas can stand out on the images. The difference shows most clearly when it’s warm inside and cold outside. The report shows the images and explains what they may mean. We do not give energy ratings or heat loss calculations. If you’ve noticed damp that repairs haven’t cured and water getting in at parapets and stacks, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on loft conversions, ceilings below the roof and commercial roofs alike.
Older cottages and houses around Catisfield may have little insulation, and some have extensions with their own roofs. A thermal image can show where heat is escaping or where moisture may be trapped, and drone photos show the roof surfaces themselves. Findings are checked with moisture readings where needed. Calm, dry weather suits both methods, so the date is set with the forecast in mind.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

FAQs for Catisfield
Are there drone restrictions around Catisfield?
That depends on where the roof is and on the weather. Catisfield is about 3 miles from Solent Airport, so the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions around it before we fly. Strong wind or heavy rain also stops a small drone flying, and the rest of the survey doesn’t depend on the drone.
Do you cover smaller places like Catisfield?
Yes, Catisfield is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We inspect what can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
How many surveys have you done?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you when you book.
How do I book a survey in Catisfield?
It is easiest to phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Tell us the address and a little about the roof. We survey on any day of the week.
How long does the survey take?
Most surveys take about 1–2 hours at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. We will confirm the timing when you book.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.

What else we do in Catisfield
Thermal roof surveys around Catisfield
Catisfield is within about 2 miles of the coast. Clear thermal results need a dry roof and little wind after a sunny day, so the date depends on the forecast. Within a mile and a half or so of Catisfield there are several hotels, and hotels, like offices and blocks of flats, often have flat roofs. If you look after one, a large roof can be surveyed without guests having anyone working above them.
Shop and office owners around Fareham Shopping Centre may find that a commercial roof can be photographed from above without anyone walking on it. A roof leak in a hotel or guest house around Catisfield means lost rooms as well as repairs.

When to book a survey in Catisfield
Building owners and managing agents use thermal surveys to plan work on larger flat roofs. Patterns can point to wet areas and show which parts look sound, so we know where to take moisture readings.
Look out for signs like these:
- Water that travels before it shows
- Water getting in at parapets and stacks
- Patches of heat loss across the roof
- Gaps in loft insulation
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Peter, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.

How it works
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take about one to two hours at most homes, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. A visit to Catisfield is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed ahead of time. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
- 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.
Getting ready for the survey

Different roofs, different checks
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
These coverings sit directly on the layers beneath, so temperature differences frequently show through. We confirm any patterns with moisture readings.
Loft insulation
Insulation frequently gets moved during work in the loft. Thermal images can show where it has been pushed aside.
Useful tips for Catisfield property owners
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Heat the home normally on the days before
- Note where damp appears and after what weather
- Check from the ground or a window, never by climbing
- Keep outlets and gutters clear to stop water sitting
If the images suggest moisture that can’t be confirmed, we will say what would help next, like electronic leak detection or opening up a small area.
Keep an eye on ceilings under the roof for new stains. Catching a leak early stops insulation getting soaked.
