Thermal roof survey in Conford
Wet insulation under a flat roof covering holds heat for longer than dry. So a wet patch can show as a warmer or cooler area on the camera. It helps us see how far water may have spread under the covering, something you can’t usually tell from the surface. We then check those areas with moisture readings. If you’re worried about ceilings that feel colder in places and areas of a flat roof that may hold water, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a small place like Conford, open ground can mean strong wind. A small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. The visit is planned around the forecast, along with the journey and access. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Do you need a thermal roof survey in Conford?
Building owners and managing agents use thermal surveys to plan work on larger flat roofs. It can suggest which areas may be wet and which seem dry, so we know where to take moisture readings.
Look out for signs like these:
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
- Missing or slipped insulation
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
- Damp around chimneys and parapets
Around Conford, as everywhere, small roof faults are simplest to sort before they let water in.
What to check before booking
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price

Why get it checked now?
If a big flat roof may need replacing, knowing the wet areas first is useful. Images backed by moisture readings show where problems seem to be before you spend. Older cottages and farmhouses around Conford can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
Prices start from £400, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can safely be seen and which survey you book.

Airspace, weather and Conford roofs
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
Anyone responsible for a site like Liphook Infant School will know that big roofs are where photos from the air and thermal images show the most at once.

What happens on the day
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes an hour or two at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. Older rural homes like those around Conford can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We start by discussing the roof, any signs of damp and how the weather may affect the images.
- We look at the roof from ground level, from windows and from the roof itself where it is safe.
- We take thermal images of the roof to pick up temperature patterns.
- Any patterns of interest are checked with moisture readings where we can reach them.
- The report sets out the images, what they suggest and what we recommend.
Preparing for the visit
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Tell us where we can park nearby

Advice
What we can’t see
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- Confirming water without moisture readings
- Reliable images in rain, strong wind or on a wet roof surface
- A formal energy assessment
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will recommend the right survey before booking. The full list of what we check.

Common questions in Conford
Is Conford within the area you cover?
Yes, Conford is covered. We work right across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you cover Conford?
Yes, Conford is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We’re roof surveyors, not structural engineers, and it does not include calculations. We’ll recommend an engineer if we see signs that call for one.
How much does a thermal roof survey cost?
It comes with our Premium Survey, which starts from £400. That also includes a full inspection, a drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and a same-day report.
How long does the survey take?
Expect it to take roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable.
Tips that help
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Tell us where and when you’ve seen damp or stains
- Photograph damp patches with the date
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Keep the heating on as usual before a heat loss survey
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.
Keep an eye on ceilings under the roof for new stains. Catching a leak early stops insulation getting soaked.
Roof by roof
Parapets, valleys and junctions
Water often gets in where roofs meet walls, parapets or valley gutters. The camera can help show damp around these junctions.
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
On larger commercial single-ply roofs, thermal imaging can help target moisture readings. That makes the survey more focused.
