Common questions in Criddlestyle
Do you cover Criddlestyle?
Yes, Criddlestyle is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Criddlestyle as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How do I find out if my home in Criddlestyle is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Can thermal imaging show missing insulation?
Gaps and thin areas of insulation can show up on the camera. It shows most clearly when it is warm inside and cold outside. Where we can reach the loft safely, we check there too.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We look at the parts we’re given access to, and the report makes that clear.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. Visible signs such as deflection or sagging are recorded, but we don’t provide calculations or an engineer’s opinion. If one is needed, the report says so.
Is thermal imaging useful on pitched roofs?
On pitched roofs, the camera can point to heat loss and some damp patterns. Our report is clear about what can be read from them, and back them up with a visual inspection and moisture readings.
Thermal roof survey in Criddlestyle: what you get
Our Premium Survey, from £400, brings together a full roof inspection and thermal imaging. You also get a drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and a report on the same day. There is an in-person consultation as well, plus a follow-up 12 months later. To book, just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you’ve noticed. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size. Common reasons to book are areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions and leaks far from where the stain appears, across pitched roof slopes, commercial roofs and flat roofs.
Villages like Criddlestyle frequently stand in open country, where wind can be strong. A small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. 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, each with a short note and a photograph. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Roof by roof
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
Because these membranes are thin, patterns from below often show. Shiny surfaces can reflect heat, so we take care reading the images.
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
These coverings sit directly on the layers beneath, so temperature differences often show through. Any patterns are checked with moisture readings.
Flying and imaging in Criddlestyle
Breamore House, about 3 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Criddlestyle. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. 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. Older coverings on steep or tall roofs are hard to judge from below, so close-up close-up aerial shots and thermal images help.
The streets around a church such as St Giles are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement. Anyone responsible for a site like The Burgate School and Sixth Form will know that big roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images show the most at once.
Criddlestyle is in Hampshire. Houses, flats, blocks and commercial buildings in Criddlestyle can all book thermal roof surveys. Across Hampshire, we cover Criddlestyle. There is also a page for Southampton.

What’s near Criddlestyle

Can I check my roof myself?
It is useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
What we do, step by step
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. Most surveys take between one and two hours for a house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. In a hamlet or village like Criddlestyle, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start with the roof, its history and any signs of damp or heat loss.
- The weather and surface conditions are recorded.
- We inspect the roof and take thermal images during the same visit.
- Moisture readings are used to check what the camera shows.
- The Premium report reaches you the same day, and we go through it with you in person.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Find any records of previous roof work
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
Booking a survey
We survey roofs on any day of the week. To arrange a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.

Tips that help
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Photograph damp patches with the date
- Check outlets after heavy rain
- Check from ground level or a window, never by climbing
- Let us know where and when you’ve seen damp or stains
Premium Surveys include an in-person consultation, giving you the chance to talk through the images and findings. There is a 12-month follow-up too.
Consider a repeat survey after major work on the roof, when the conditions are suitable.
