How a thermal roof survey works in Damerham
We present each thermal image next to a normal photo of the same area, so it’s easy to see which part of the roof each one shows. We explain what each pattern may mean, what the moisture readings found and what we recommend. With a Premium Survey, the report reaches you the same day. If you have questions, the in-person consultation gives you time to go through them. There’s a 12-month follow-up as well. We survey ceilings below the roof, flat roofs and loft conversions, and common reasons people get in touch are missing or slipped insulation and moisture around outlets and upstands.
In a small place like Damerham, open ground can mean strong wind. Strong 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.

What we look for on each type of roof
GRP fibreglass roofs
Cracks in GRP can let water into the boards beneath. We combine a visual check of cracks with the thermal images around them.
Pitched slate and tile roofs
Slate and tile roofs are frequently harder to read with a thermal camera, because of the air space beneath. We combine the images with an inspection from the loft where there’s safe access.
What happens on the day
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. Older roofs in small places like Damerham can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- We go through the roof, the problem and the weather expected on the day.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe positions.
- We take thermal images of the roof and of the loft where we can reach it.
- We take moisture readings where the images suggest a problem.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

FAQs for Damerham
Is my home in Damerham listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you cover Damerham?
Yes, Damerham is within the area we cover. We work right across London and the South East. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Is thermal imaging good for finding leaks?
It is a useful tool for tracing leaks, but not the only one. What it shows depends on the weather and the roof. If the source can’t be confirmed, we will say what could help next, like electronic leak detection.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it is safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
How do I arrange a thermal roof survey in Damerham?
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Flying and imaging in Damerham
The wider area around Damerham has a long history of building, with Breamore House about 3.5 miles north-east. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. 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. Many roofs like these cannot be judged properly from the pavement, and that’s where a view from above or a thermal image earns its place.

What a survey costs
We confirm the price for your roof before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- Height and safe access
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
Prices start from £400, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, including VAT, and we can help you choose.
What to tell us when you contact us
The more you tell us, the easier it is to price the survey. When you get in touch, it helps to mention:
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Anything about access we should know
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form whenever suits you.
Signs you need a thermal roof survey in Damerham
Buyers sometimes want more than a visual look at the roof. The Premium Survey brings thermal imaging and a drone inspection where applicable, with a report the same day, which helps when timescales are tight.
Look out for signs like these:
- Gaps in loft insulation
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
- Cold spots on ceilings under the roof
- Leaks that are hard to trace
If you live in an older home near Church of St George, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- What happens after the report arrives
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan.
Tips from our surveys
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Check from the ground or a window, never by climbing
- Check outlets after heavy rain
- Remember the conditions on the day affect the results
- Keep the report to compare against after any repair
Premium Surveys include an in-person consultation, giving you the chance to talk through the images and findings. There’s a 12-month follow-up too.
Watch for new damp patches on ceilings beneath the roof. Catching a leak early stops insulation getting soaked.
