Thermal roof survey in Ellisfield
What a thermal camera can show depends a lot on the weather. A sunny day before the survey, a dry roof surface and little wind all help. Rain, a strong wind or heavy cloud can make the images less clear. We talk through the forecast when booking, and the report explains how the conditions on the day affected the results. We survey insulated roof spaces, ceilings below the roof and loft conversions, and common reasons people get in touch are heat escaping through the roof and possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering.
In a small place like Ellisfield, open ground can mean strong wind. Strong wind or heavy rain stops a small drone flying, and calm conditions also suit thermal imaging best. The visit is planned around the forecast, along with the journey and access. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Ellisfield questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Ellisfield?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Is Ellisfield within the area you cover?
Yes, Ellisfield is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
What insurance do you have?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and details are available on request.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
When does the report arrive?
Report times are set by the package. Basic is within 48 hours, Standard is 24–48 hours and Premium is the same day. If you have a deadline, such as an exchange date, tell us when you book.
What conditions are best for thermal imaging?
Conditions on the day affect the results. It works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof surface and little wind. Rain, wind and heavy cloud can weaken the patterns, so we talk through the forecast as you book.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We check everything that can safely be seen: from the ground, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
What affects the price in Ellisfield
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Basic, Standard or Premium
For a price for your roof in Ellisfield, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the roof. We will confirm the figure before booking.
What we need to know
Some details help us suggest the right survey and price. When you get in touch, it helps to mention:
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
Not sure which survey you need? The easiest way is to call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We’ll explain the options and the price.
Why it is worth a survey now in Ellisfield
If a big flat roof may need replacing, knowing the wet areas first is useful. Thermal imaging, checked with moisture readings, gives a clearer picture before you commit. Older and listed buildings around Ellisfield may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
Prices start from £400, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, inc. VAT.
Why book us in Ellisfield

Honest limits
Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, and that sets some limits:
- Proving moisture from the images alone
- Whether the deck or roof structure is strong enough
- Readings unaffected by sun, shade or reflections
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will recommend the right survey before booking. The full list of what we check.

Drones, thermal imaging and Ellisfield roofs
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Many roofs like these can’t be judged properly from the pavement, and that’s where a view from above or a thermal image earns its place. Lasham Airfield is about 3 miles from Ellisfield. Where the drone is part of the survey, the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions first.
If you run a business near Festival Place, thermal images can show trapped moisture across a wide commercial roof. If you live in an older home near Church of St. Martin, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image. Historic houses such as Hall Place, about 3.9 miles south, show how far back building around Ellisfield goes. For older roofs nearby, a look from above or with a thermal imager is a hands-off way to check condition.
Ellisfield is about 4 miles south of Basingstoke, in Hampshire. Surveys in Ellisfield work the same way as everywhere we cover: a careful inspection, photos and a written report. Across Hampshire, we cover Ellisfield and the places around it. Our Reading page covers surveys nearby.

What else we do in Ellisfield
How the survey changes by roof type
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
Because these membranes are thin, patterns from below frequently show. Reflections from shiny surfaces can affect readings, which we allow for.
GRP fibreglass roofs
Water can get through cracked GRP into the deck. We check cracks by eye and use the images to see whether there is a pattern around them.
Can I check my roof myself?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That is where a survey comes in.
What we do, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take between one and two hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. Older rural homes like those around Ellisfield can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- 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’s 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Note where any stains or damp appear
