Thermal roof surveys in Corhampton: local notes
Hinton Ampner House, about 4.4 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Corhampton. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these.
If you look after a building such as Meonstoke Church of England Infant School, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.

About our thermal roof survey in Corhampton
On a flat roof, wet insulation holds heat longer than dry insulation. So a wet patch can show as a warmer or cooler area on the camera. This can give an idea of how far water has travelled beneath the membrane, something you can’t usually tell from the surface. Moisture readings are then used to check what the camera suggests. We’re often asked to look into damp that repairs haven’t cured and moisture around outlets and upstands, across ceilings below the roof, commercial roofs and pitched roof slopes.
Villages like Corhampton 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. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly.

How the survey works
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect what can safely be seen, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. Most visits take about 1–2 hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. Somewhere as small as Corhampton, access is frequently the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We talk through the roof, any damp or leaks, and the weather expected on the day.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe viewpoints.
- We take thermal images of the roof to pick up temperature patterns.
- We check the patterns that stand out with moisture readings where there’s safe access.
- You get a report with thermal images, photographs and our recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
Getting a price
Thermal roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.

Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Corhampton
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Corhampton?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Is Corhampton in the area you cover?
Yes, Corhampton is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
How do I arrange a thermal roof survey in Corhampton?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
How long will you be at the property?
Expect it to take about 1–2 hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.
Which survey includes thermal imaging?
Our Premium Survey, from £400, includes thermal imaging. You also get an in-person consultation and a 12-month follow-up. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
What we can’t see
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- An energy rating for the building
- Proving moisture from the images alone
- Reliable images in rain, strong wind or on a wet roof surface
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll suggest the right survey. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
What this survey covers
- Loft conversions
- Pitched roof slopes
- Insulated roof spaces
- Commercial roofs
- Ceilings below the roof
- Flat roofs
Do you need a thermal roof survey in Corhampton?
After a repair, some owners want to know whether the roof has dried out. A thermal survey with moisture readings can show whether wet areas remain, given suitable conditions on the day.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Leaks far from where the stain appears
- Damp patches with no obvious cause
- Damp around chimneys and parapets
- Wet areas near outlets and upstands
If you live in an older home near Corhampton Church, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help.
What to check before booking
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- When you’ll get the report

Tips from our surveys
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Check from the ground or a window, never by climbing
- File the images with your roof records
- Heat the home normally on the days before
- Talk to us about the weather when booking
Buyers can use the findings when talking to the seller or agent. What you do with it is up to you, whether that is asking for work or discussing the price.
Keep an eye on ceilings under the roof for new stains. Early action keeps insulation from staying wet.
What affects the price in Corhampton
Our packages start from £150, including VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- The roof’s overall size
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all including VAT. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Getting in touch
Some details help us suggest the right survey and price. When you get in touch, it helps to mention:
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- What made you get in touch
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Why act early in Corhampton
Buyers get extra information from thermal images that the eye can miss. Finding hidden moisture before exchange gives you facts to raise with the seller. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
