Thermal roof survey in Durrants: what you get
Thermal imaging can also show where a roof is losing heat. Gaps in loft insulation and poorly insulated areas can stand out on the images. The difference shows most clearly when it’s warm inside and cold outside. The report shows the images and explains what they may mean. We do not give energy ratings or heat loss calculations. If you’ve noticed thin or uneven insulation in the roof and moisture around outlets and upstands, we can find out what’s behind it, on flat roofs, ceilings below the roof and loft conversions alike.
Villages like Durrants often stand in open country, where wind can be strong. A small drone can’t fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
Where we cannot see part of the roof, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Thermal images can suggest the extent of wet areas without cutting into the roof. That helps you and your roofer decide what really needs replacing. Outbuildings and barns around Durrants are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
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.

How we price thermal roof surveys

- The size of the roof
- Which survey package you book
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Our price is from £400, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date

- What’s prompted the survey

Flying and imaging in Durrants
Durrants lies within about 3 miles of the sea, and wind off the sea can be strong. Calm, dry conditions after a sunny day suit thermal imaging best, so the visit is planned around the forecast. With Warblington Castle about 2.5 miles south, Durrants sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
The streets around a church such as St John the Baptist are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image.
Durrants is about 2 miles north-east of Havant, in Hampshire. If you are in Durrants, booking works exactly as it does anywhere else: a call or an email, a price, then a date. Durrants is one of the places in Hampshire we cover. For surveys nearby, see our Portsmouth page.
We survey roofs across the PO9 postcode area for thermal roof surveys and the streets around it. Whether your property is on Whichers Close, Whichers Gate Road and Durrants Road or a nearby road, we can survey it. Neighbouring places we cover for thermal roof surveys include Rowlands Castle (1 mile north), Leigh Park (1 mile south-west), Havant (2 miles south-west), Denvilles (2 miles south) and Westbourne (2 miles south-east). Further out, we also cover Gosport (10 miles south-west), Fareham (10 miles west), Horndean (3 miles north-west), Hedge End (15 miles west), Waterlooville (3 miles west) and Petersfield (9 miles north).
Local landmarks in Durrants
Locally, jobs take us to homes and businesses close to Sharps Copse Primary and Nursery School, St Albans Church and Robin Hood Inn, among other places. The nearest railway station is Rowlands Castle station, roughly 0.9 miles north-east. Well-known places in the area include Havant War Memorial Hospital (2 miles south-west) and Havant Museum (2.1 miles south). Not far away are Brook Meadow (Emsworth) and Compton Down.
How it works
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photographs go into the written report. It usually takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Older roofs in small places like Durrants can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe positions.
- We take thermal images of the roof and of the loft where we can reach it.
- Patterns that stand out are checked with moisture readings.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
Before the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
Booking a survey
If you are buying, it’s useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or use the contact form whenever suits you.

When to book a survey in Durrants
On big commercial and residential flat roofs, thermal imaging helps owners plan. Patterns can point to wet areas and show which parts look sound, so we know where to take moisture readings.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
- Water getting in at parapets and stacks
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
- Gaps in loft insulation
Anyone responsible for a site like Havant Academy will know that big roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images show the most at once.
What to check before booking
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- What experience they bring
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the survey around it.
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in Durrants. For a price for a let property or a block, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Common questions in Durrants
How do I find out if my home in Durrants is listed?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is Durrants in the area you cover?
Yes, Durrants is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and the South East. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you when you book.
Does the weather affect a thermal survey?
The weather makes a real difference. A sunny day beforehand, a dry surface and calm air all help. Rain, wind and heavy cloud can weaken the patterns, so we discuss the forecast when booking.
Is thermal imaging useful on pitched roofs?
On pitched roofs, the camera can point to heat loss and some damp patterns. We explain what the images can and can’t tell you, and back them up with a visual inspection and moisture readings.
What do I do with the report?
You receive the written report by email, with photos and recommendations. You can use it to talk to a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent, whichever applies.
How much does a thermal roof survey cost?
It comes with our Premium Survey, which starts from £400. That also includes a full inspection, a drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and a same-day report.
