About our thermal roof survey in Farleigh Wallop
Our Premium Survey, from £400, brings together a full roof inspection and thermal imaging. It also includes a drone inspection where it applies, a structural analysis and a same-day report. An in-person consultation and a 12-month follow-up are included too. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a note of what you’ve noticed. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size. Typical surveys look at areas of a flat roof that may hold water and ceilings that feel colder in places, across loft conversions, ceilings below the roof and pitched roof slopes.
Older buildings in small places like Farleigh Wallop may be listed or in a conservation area. A look by drone or thermal camera doesn’t touch the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care, 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.

Different roofs, different checks
Loft insulation
From inside the loft, thermal imaging can show gaps in insulation and cold spots. We look where there is safe access.
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
Because these membranes are thin, patterns from below often show. Shiny surfaces can reflect heat, so we take care reading the images.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Repeated repairs that don’t stop a leak are a sign the source hasn’t been traced. Thermal imaging with moisture readings can help narrow it down, instead of trying repair after repair. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Farleigh Wallop, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £400, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
Why us?

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps when budgeting.
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the survey around it.
FAQs for Farleigh Wallop
How do I find out if my home in Farleigh Wallop is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you cover Farleigh Wallop?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Farleigh Wallop as anywhere else.
What does a thermal roof survey show?
A thermal camera shows differences in surface temperature. The patterns can suggest wet insulation, gaps in insulation or heat escaping. We check what it shows with moisture readings.
Is thermal imaging useful on pitched roofs?
It can be useful, though pitched roofs are typically harder to read. The air space under slates and tiles can hide patterns, so we combine it with an inspection from the loft where there’s safe access.
Can a thermal survey trace a roof leak?
It often helps show where to look. Water can travel under a covering before it shows inside, and temperature patterns can help follow it. We combine it with a visual inspection and moisture readings because the camera cannot confirm water on its own.
How do I book a survey in Farleigh Wallop?
It’s easiest to ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we will recommend the right survey. Surveys run seven days a week.
How long is the visit?
Expect it to take roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.
Do you need a thermal roof survey in Farleigh Wallop?
After a repair, some owners want to know whether the roof has dried out. Thermal images and moisture readings can suggest whether moisture is still trapped, given suitable conditions on the day.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
- Wet areas near outlets and upstands
- Cold spots on ceilings under the roof
- Leaks that are hard to trace
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Brighton Hill Community School, a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- How long the report takes to arrive

What else we do in Farleigh Wallop
Airspace, weather and Farleigh Wallop roofs
If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones 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.
If you run a business near Festival Place, large commercial roofs are frequently easiest to see from the air or with a thermal camera. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St. Andrew, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that’s where a view from the air or with a thermal camera helps.

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 photographs as we go and make notes for the report. It usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Farleigh Wallop 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.
- We start by discussing the roof, any signs of damp and how the weather may affect the images.
- We carry out a visual inspection of the roof from wherever it can safely be seen.
- A thermal camera records how the surface temperature varies across the roof.
- Any patterns of interest are checked with moisture readings where we can reach them.
- The report sets out the images, what they suggest and what we recommend.
Before the survey
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Keep these in mind:
- The condition of timbers we can’t see
- Readings unaffected by sun, shade or reflections
- Seeing water directly, as the camera shows temperature, not moisture
