Thermal imaging roof survey in Fawley, Oxfordshire
A careful look at the roof at your property in Fawley, with photographs and a written report.
- Gaps in loft insulation
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
- Cold spots on ceilings under the roof
What we look for on each type of roof
Loft insulation
Loft insulation is easily disturbed when people store things or run cables. Thermal images can show where it has been pushed aside.
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
Many single-ply and EPDM roofs sit on insulation boards. Wet boards can show as temperature differences on the images.
How a thermal roof survey works in Fawley
Thermal imaging is part of our Premium Survey, which starts from £400. You also get a drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and a report on the same day. 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. For big commercial roofs, we quote on size and access. We survey ceilings below the roof, flat roofs and loft conversions, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are damp patches with no obvious cause and patches of heat loss across the roof.
Somewhere as small as Fawley, older roofs are frequently steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what can’t be reached safely. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first, and the journey is planned beforehand. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.

How it works
We’ll ask a few questions first, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes between one and two hours at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Cottages and farmhouses around Fawley frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, 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.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe viewpoints.
- We take thermal images of the roof to pick up temperature patterns.
- We check the patterns that stand out with moisture readings where there is safe access.
- You get a report with thermal images, photographs and our recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

Advice
What a thermal roof survey does not cover
Before booking, it’s worth knowing what a survey won’t do:
- Readings unaffected by sun, shade or reflections
- Insulation values or heat loss calculations
- Hidden layers that need to be opened up to check
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll tell you before booking. What a survey covers and does not.
What this survey covers
- Commercial roofs
- Insulated roof spaces
- Ceilings below the roof
- Loft conversions
- Pitched roof slopes
- Flat roofs
Tips that help
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Photograph damp patches with the date
- Keep a record of when stains appear
- Make sure the loft can be reached safely
- Leave the roof to people with safe access
If the images suggest moisture that can’t be confirmed, we will say what would help next, for example electronic leak detection or a roofer opening up a small section.
Watch for new damp patches on ceilings beneath the roof. Catching a leak early stops insulation getting soaked.
FAQs for Fawley
Is Fawley in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you cover smaller places like Fawley?
Yes, Fawley is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Will I get photos?
Yes. Photographs are part of every report, so you can see each point for yourself.
Is thermal imaging included in your surveys?
It’s part of the Premium Survey, from £400. You also get an in-person consultation and a 12-month follow-up. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
What does a thermal roof survey show?
The camera records how the surface temperature varies. The patterns can suggest wet insulation, gaps in insulation or heat escaping. We check what it shows with moisture readings.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.

Thermal roof surveys in Fawley: local notes
West Oxfordshire’s older buildings often carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. Older houses in the South East often 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.
Greenlands, about 1.2 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Fawley. A drone or thermal survey doesn’t involve any work on the roof, which suits older buildings. The streets around a church like St Mary the Virgin's Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image.
