Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Eastrop
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. It is important to know that the camera shows temperature, not water, so findings are checked with moisture readings. Thermal imaging is included in our Premium Survey, from £400. The report also notes the conditions on the day, since they affect what the camera can show. If you’ve noticed damp around roof outlets and upstands and heat escaping through the roof, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on insulated roof spaces, ceilings below the roof and commercial roofs alike.
Around Eastrop, plenty of roofs are low enough to see partly from the garden or the street. Chimney tops, valleys and rear slopes are where close-up or thermal images help most. Both depend on the weather on the day, as calm, dry conditions suit both. Even so, a close-up image often shows wear on ridges and flashings that a view from ground level misses.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Tips that help
Getting the most from a thermal roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Don’t climb onto the roof to look for leaks yourself
- Check outlets after heavy rain
- Photograph damp patches with the date
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.
What this survey cannot tell you
We only report what can safely be seen on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Confirming water without moisture readings
- An energy rating for the building
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer

Airspace, weather and Eastrop roofs
About 2.9 miles north lies The Vyne, a reminder of how long the area around Eastrop has been built on. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Festival Place, thermal images can show trapped moisture across a wide commercial roof. Take a building like The Costello School: thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.
Eastrop is about 1 mile east of Basingstoke, in Hampshire. Wherever you are in Eastrop, we can carry out thermal roof surveys at your property, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday. Eastrop is one of the places in Hampshire where we work. Reading is in our area too.

How it works
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a written report with photographs, emailed to you. On timing, most surveys take an hour or two at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Eastrop is booked with the forecast in mind: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from the ground and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- We look over the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- Thermal images are taken across the roof and, where there is safe access, in the loft.
- Patterns that stand out are checked with moisture readings.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Let us know about parking near the property
How to book
If you’re buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.

What else we do in Eastrop
What you can safely check yourself
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Eastrop
Do you cover Eastrop?
Yes, Eastrop is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details.
Do you cover smaller places like Eastrop?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Does thermal imaging detect leaks directly?
Not directly. It shows surface temperature, and wet areas can show up because they hold heat differently. That’s why we check any patterns with moisture readings.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so we need permission from the building owner or managing agent. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. We point out what can be seen, such as sagging or deflection, but we do not carry out calculations or give an engineer’s opinion. Where an engineer is needed, we say so in the report.
What happens if roof problems are left?
The longer moisture sits in a roof, the more it can affect timbers and finishes below. Surveying sooner gives you more choice about what to do. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like Eastrop, so it helps to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. Knowing early gives you time to get the right people in.
To find out what your survey will cost, call 07833 053749 or email us and tell us about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
