Thermal Roof Survey in Crampmoor
Not sure what state the roof is in? You can book a thermal roof survey in Crampmoor and across Hampshire.
- Patches of heat loss across the roof
- Cold spots on ceilings under the roof
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
Signs you need a thermal roof survey in Crampmoor
Some owners book because the rooms under the roof feel cold. Gaps in loft insulation and poorly insulated roof areas can show up on the camera, especially when it is warm inside and cold outside.
Look out for signs like these:
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
- Leaks far from where the stain appears
- Stains that keep coming back
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Cupernham Infant School, big roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images show the most at once.
What to check before booking
- What insurance they carry
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
Thermal roof survey in Crampmoor: what you get
Thermal imaging is a useful tool, but it has limits. It shows surface temperature, and things like sun, shade, reflections and wind all affect the readings. That’s why we check findings with moisture readings and a close visual inspection. The report is clear about what the images show and what they do not. Where something cannot be confirmed, we say what would help next. We survey insulated roof spaces, commercial roofs and loft conversions, and common reasons people get in touch are cold areas below the roof and thin or uneven insulation in the roof.
Villages like Crampmoor often stand in open country, where wind can be strong. Strong wind or heavy rain stops a small drone flying, and calm conditions also suit thermal imaging best. 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.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

Can I check my roof myself?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Crampmoor
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, from shops and offices to industrial units. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on.

What else we do in Crampmoor
How the survey works
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. Most visits take about one to two hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. Somewhere like Crampmoor needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- 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.
- You get a report with thermal images, photographs and our recommendations.
How to prepare
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
Booking a survey
Most bookings start with a short call: phone 07833 053749 or send us an email, and we will ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Advice
FAQs for Crampmoor
Do you cover Crampmoor?
Yes, Crampmoor is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is Crampmoor within the area you cover?
Yes, Crampmoor is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
How long will you be at the property?
It usually takes between one and two hours at most homes, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. We’ll confirm the timing when booking.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We inspect what can be seen safely: from the ground, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
Can you use a thermal camera on a sloping roof?
It can show heat loss and some damp, but it has more limits there. We explain what the images can and can’t tell you, and we check them with a visual inspection and moisture readings.
Can a thermal camera see water?
Thermal imaging shows temperature rather than water. Wet insulation holds heat longer than dry, so it can stand out, and moisture readings are used to check it.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We note visible signs such as sagging or deflection, but we do not carry out calculations or give an engineer’s opinion. Where an engineer is needed, we say so in the report.
Roof by roof
Parapets, valleys and junctions
Junctions where roofs meet walls, parapets and valleys are common places for water to get in. The camera can help show damp around these junctions.
GRP fibreglass roofs
GRP surfaces can be shiny, which affects thermal readings. We allow for reflections and confirm findings with moisture readings.
Tips that help
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Keep dated photos of any marks on ceilings
- Ask us about the forecast if rain is expected
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Note where damp appears and after what weather
After the visit, we put the thermal images, photographs and moisture readings into one report. We explain what each image may mean, with our recommendations. With a Premium Survey, you get the report the same day.
Clear outlets and gutters regularly, so water does not sit on the roof. Less standing water means less chance of it getting under the covering.
Thermal roof surveys around Crampmoor
About 4.4 miles north-west lies Mottisfont Abbey, a reminder of how long the area around Crampmoor has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Where a roof is steep, tall or hard to see from ground level, drone photos and thermal images add detail.
The streets around a church such as St Swithun's Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that is where a view by drone or thermal camera helps.
