About our thermal roof survey in Deadwater
Our Premium Survey, from £400, brings together a full roof inspection and thermal imaging. It also includes a drone inspection where it applies, a structural analysis and a same-day report. An in-person consultation and a 12-month follow-up are included too. You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a note of what you’ve noticed. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size. We survey ceilings below the roof, pitched roof slopes and insulated roof spaces, and people most often book us about moisture around outlets and upstands and wet insulation beneath the membrane.
Older cottages and houses around Deadwater may have little insulation, and some have extensions with their own roofs. A thermal image can show where heat is escaping or where moisture may be trapped, and drone photos show the roof surfaces themselves. Findings are checked with moisture readings where needed. Results depend on the weather, so the visit is planned around the forecast.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Thermal roof surveys in Deadwater: local notes
An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Older coverings on steep or tall roofs are hard to judge from below, so close-up close-up aerial shots and thermal images help.
If you look after a building such as Mill Chase Academy, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.
Deadwater is about 1 mile east of Bordon, in Hampshire. From houses to flats and shops in Deadwater, we can survey the roof on a weekday or at the weekend. We cover towns and villages across Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Guildford is in our area too.
Thermal roof surveys in GU35 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. We cover properties on Alma Road, Varna Road and Rowan Road and the roads around them. Nearby, we also carry out thermal roof surveys in Lindford (1 mile north-east), Bordon (1 mile west), Hollywater (1 mile south), Standford (1 mile south-east) and Pinewood Village (1 mile north-west). We also work in nearby towns such as Basingstoke (15 miles north-west), Farnborough (13 miles north), Fleet (11 miles north), Aldershot (10 miles north-east), Alton (6 miles north-west) and Petersfield (8 miles south-west).
Around Deadwater
We work in homes and buildings around Weyford Nursery and Primary School, among other places. The closest station to Deadwater is Liphook station, roughly 3.6 miles south-east. Other landmarks nearby include Chase Community Hospital (0.7 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Deadwater Valley and Selborne Hill.
What happens on the day
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. In total, it takes between one and two hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around Deadwater, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Mention any side of the property we cannot get to. The loft, where there is safe access, completes the picture.
- We start by discussing the roof, any signs of damp and how the weather may affect the images.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe viewpoints.
- A thermal camera records how the surface temperature varies across the roof.
- 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
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Note where any stains or damp appear

Should I look at the roof myself first?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking and it will help the survey.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed ahead of time. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work with less disruption.
Common roof problems in Deadwater
After a long-running leak, insulation under a flat roof can stay wet. Owners want to know how far it has spread before deciding what to do. Thermal images and moisture readings together can show the likely extent.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Gaps in loft insulation
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near St Mark's Sacred Church, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that is where a view from the air or with a thermal camera helps.

Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Deadwater
How do I find out if my home in Deadwater is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you cover Deadwater?
Yes, Deadwater is within the area we cover. We work right across London and the South East. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when booking.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest.
When does the report arrive?
Each package has its own report time. Basic is within 48 hours, Standard is 24–48 hours and Premium is the same day. If you have a deadline, like an exchange date, tell us as you book.
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 cannot tell you, and back them up with a visual inspection and moisture readings.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
How we price thermal roof surveys
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Helping us price your survey
The more you tell us, the easier it is to price the survey. When you get in touch, it helps to mention:
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from ground level or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Useful tips for Deadwater property owners
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Keep the report to compare against after any repair
- Heat the home normally on the days before
- Check outlets after heavy rain
- Take photos of stains as they appear, so we can compare
If you are buying, the report gives you specific points to raise with the seller or agent. What you do with it is up to you, whether that’s asking for work or discussing the price.
Keep outlets and gutters clear so water drains off the roof quickly. Less standing water means less chance of it getting under the covering.
