About our thermal roof survey in Crookham Village
A thermal survey isn’t a quick fix for every roof problem. It shows surface temperature, and things like sun, shade, reflections and wind all affect the readings. We back up the images with moisture readings and a careful look at the roof. Our report says plainly what the camera picked up and how sure we can be. If a finding cannot be confirmed, the report suggests a next step. If you are worried about damp patches with no obvious cause and damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys, we can find out what’s behind it.
Villages like Crookham Village often stand in open country, where wind can be strong. A small drone cannot fly safely in high 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.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly.

What happens on the day
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photos, sent to you by email. As for time on site, most surveys take about one to two hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. In a hamlet or village like Crookham Village, 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 go through the roof, the problem and the weather expected on the day.
- We look over the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- Thermal images are taken across the roof and, where there’s safe access, in the loft.
- We take moisture readings where the images suggest a problem.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
How to prepare
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of

Flying and imaging in Crookham Village
Historic houses such as Farnham Castle, about 4.5 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Crookham Village goes. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Older coverings on steep or tall roofs are hard to judge from below, so close-up aerial photos and thermal images help.
Take a building like All Saints Church of England Aided Junior School: thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof. Shop and office owners around Hart Shopping Centre may find that large commercial roofs are often easiest to see by drone or thermal camera.

Checking the roof from ground level
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Crookham Village questions
Will you come out to Crookham Village?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Crookham Village?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Does the report include photos?
Yes, plenty. Pictures sit next to the findings they show, which makes the report easy to follow.
Before and after the survey
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Heat the home normally on the days before
- Keep the report to compare against after any repair
- Clear a path to the loft hatch before we arrive
- Keep dated photos of any marks on ceilings
After the visit, we put the thermal images, photos and moisture readings into one report. We explain what each image may mean, alongside what we recommend. Premium reports are sent the same day.
Make sure loft insulation covers the whole area and hasn’t been disturbed. Insulation is frequently moved when people work in the loft space.
What affects the price in Crookham Village
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- Which survey package you book
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
Every price we give includes VAT. Prices start from £400, including VAT. We confirm the exact price before booking.
Getting in touch
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
To book a survey, phone 07833 053749 or email us and tell us the address and what’s prompted the survey. You will know the price before anything is booked.

Common roof problems in Crookham Village
Building owners and managing agents use thermal surveys to plan work on larger flat roofs. Patterns can point to wet areas and show which parts look sound, so we know where to take moisture readings.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Patches of heat loss across the roof
- Damp around chimneys and parapets
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
- Water that travels before it shows
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near All Saints' Church, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.
