Thermal roof surveys around Cole Henley
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask.
If you look after a building like Testbourne Community School, a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.

How a thermal roof survey works in Cole Henley
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. It works best when the building is heated and it’s colder outside. The report shows the images and explains what they may mean. We do not give energy ratings or heat loss calculations. We survey commercial roofs, flat roofs and insulated roof spaces, and people most frequently book us about areas of a flat roof that may hold water and leaks far from where the stain appears.
Villages like Cole Henley frequently 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.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

How the survey works
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take between one and two hours for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Cottages and farmhouses around Cole Henley often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We go through the roof, the problem and the weather expected on the day.
- 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.
Before the survey
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

Advice
Why act early in Cole Henley
Repeated repairs that don’t stop a leak are a sign the source hasn’t been traced. Combining the camera with moisture readings can help find it, instead of trying repair after repair. Older and listed buildings around Cole Henley may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Thermal roof survey starts from £400, including VAT.

What a thermal roof survey does not cover
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
