East Meon Thermal Roof Survey
A careful look at the roof at your property in East Meon, with photographs and a written report.
- Damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys
- Damp patches with no obvious cause
- Gaps in loft insulation
How a thermal roof survey works in East Meon
A thermal survey can point to places where heat is escaping through the roof. Missing or slipped insulation and gaps at the eaves frequently show up as temperature differences. The difference shows most clearly when it’s warm inside and cold outside. Our report points out what the images suggest and where to look more closely. It is not an energy rating or a heat loss calculation. If you are worried about moisture around outlets and upstands and gaps in loft insulation, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on flat roofs, ceilings below the roof and loft conversions alike.
Some older homes in villages like East Meon are listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on the roof, so it’s a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof, before anyone decides what work it needs. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

What a survey costs
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- The size of the roof
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, inc. VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.
Booking your survey
A few details help us suggest the right survey and price. When you contact us, it helps to mention:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- What made you get in touch
If you are buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form when you are ready.
How the survey changes by roof type
GRP fibreglass roofs
GRP surfaces can be shiny, which affects thermal readings. We allow for reflections and confirm findings with moisture readings.
Loft insulation
The difference is clearest when the home is heated and it is cold out. We explain in the report how the conditions on the day affected what we saw.
FAQs for East Meon
Do you cover smaller places like East Meon?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Is East Meon in the area you cover?
Yes, East Meon is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
What’s the best way to book?
It’s easiest to call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and some details about the roof. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
What happens next?
The report arrives by email, with photographs and clear recommendations. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation, so you can talk the findings through.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
How long will you be at the property?
Expect it to take about one to two hours on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Without thermal imaging, the only way to see how far water has spread is frequently to open up the roof. That helps you and your roofer decide what really needs replacing. For an older or listed building in a place like East Meon, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Every price we give includes VAT. Prices start from £400, including VAT. We confirm the price for the job before booking.

Tips from our surveys
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. Our suggestions:
- File the images with your roof records
- Tell us where and when you’ve seen damp or stains
- Keep dated photos of any marks on ceilings
- Clear leaves from outlets and gutters each autumn
Once we’ve been, the thermal images, photos and readings go into a single report. Each image is explained in plain words, alongside what we recommend. With a Premium Survey, you get the report the same day.
Make sure loft insulation covers the whole area and hasn’t been disturbed. Gaps often appear after work in the loft.
Common roof problems in East Meon
Some owners book because the rooms under the roof feel cold. Missing or slipped insulation can stand out as temperature differences, particularly when it is warm inside and cold outside.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Damp around chimneys and parapets
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
- Thin or uneven insulation in the roof
- Damp patches with no obvious cause
Take an older house close to Church of All Saints: tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Will the report include photos?
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
Airspace, weather and East Meon roofs
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these. Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
Anyone responsible for a site like East Meon Church of England Controlled Primary School will know that big roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images show the most at once.

What we do, step by step
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. The whole visit usually takes between one and two hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. Cottages and farmhouses around East Meon often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- You tell us about the roof and any damp, leaks or cold rooms.
- The weather and surface conditions are recorded.
- A full inspection and thermal imaging are carried out together.
- Moisture readings are used to check what the camera shows.
- You get the report the same day, with an in-person consultation to follow.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Find any records of previous roof work
