Thermal imaging roof survey in Easton, Hampshire
Wondering about the roof at a property in Easton? We carry out thermal roof surveys in Easton and across Hampshire, with plain-English findings.
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
- Stains that keep coming back
Can I check my roof myself?
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
About our thermal roof survey in Easton
A thermal imaging roof survey uses a thermal camera to show differences in surface temperature across a roof. Those patterns can point to trapped moisture, missing insulation or heat escaping. The camera doesn’t see water itself, so findings are checked with moisture readings. Thermal imaging is included in our Premium Survey, from £400. Conditions on the day affect the results, and the report explains how. Typical surveys look at water getting in at parapets and stacks and wet areas near outlets and upstands, across ceilings below the roof, flat roofs and commercial roofs.
Older buildings in small places like Easton may be listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Helping us price your survey
We will normally ask about:

- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
Unsure which package suits your roof? The easiest way is to phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We’ll explain the options and the price.
Thermal roof surveys in Easton: local notes
If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Where a roof is steep, tall or hard to see from the ground, drone photos and thermal images add detail.
Take a building like Peter Symonds College: a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Mary, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.

What else we do in Easton
What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen. The survey normally takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Older roofs in small places like Easton can have low, tight loft spaces, so it is useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You tell us about the roof and any damp, leaks or cold rooms.
- The weather and surface conditions are recorded.
- We inspect the roof and take thermal images during the same visit.
- Moisture readings are used to check what the camera shows.
- You get the report the same day, with an in-person consultation to follow.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent

Practical tips
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Keep a record of when stains appear
- Ask us about the forecast if rain is expected
- Heat the home normally on the days before
- Clear a path to the loft hatch before we arrive
Where a pattern cannot be confirmed, the report says what could help, like electronic leak detection or opening up a small area.
Keep an eye on ceilings under the roof for new stains. Early action keeps insulation from staying wet.
Common questions in Easton
Do you cover smaller places like Easton?
Yes. Easton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Easton?
Yes, Easton is within the area we cover. We work right across London and the South East. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
What conditions are best for thermal imaging?
The weather makes a real difference. It works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof surface and little wind. Rain and strong wind can make the images less clear, so we talk through the forecast when you book.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys run seven days a week. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What do I do with the report?
The report arrives by email, with photos 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 tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
What’s in the survey report?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos. The most urgent items are made clear.
What we cannot see
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Keep these in mind:
- Seeing water directly, as the camera shows temperature, not moisture
- What’s inside walls or under coverings, without opening up
- A structural engineer’s assessment
If you are not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking. What our survey covers.
Roof types and parts we check
- Insulated roof spaces
- Flat roofs

Roof by roof
GRP fibreglass roofs
Cracks in GRP can let water into the boards beneath. We look at cracks by eye and use the images to see whether there’s a pattern around them.
Parapets, valleys and junctions
When valley or parapet gutters overflow, water can get into walls and ceilings. We use the camera and moisture readings to help follow it.
