Thermal Roof Survey in Fox
An experienced roof surveyor for thermal roof surveys in Fox. Over 5,000 surveys and 20+ years behind us.
- Thin or uneven insulation in the roof
- Damp around roof outlets and upstands
- Damp patches with no obvious cause
Different roofs, different checks
Pitched slate and tile roofs
Slate and tile roofs are frequently harder to read with a thermal camera, because of the air space beneath. We back up what the camera shows with a look in the loft where we can.
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
Felt and asphalt sit tight to the layers below, which often helps the camera pick up differences. We confirm any patterns with moisture readings.
Thermal roof survey in Fox
Wet insulation under a flat roof covering holds heat for longer than dry. That means a wet area can show up as a different temperature from the rest of the roof. It helps us see how far water may have spread under the covering, which is hard to judge by eye. Moisture readings are then used to check what the camera suggests. We survey ceilings below the roof, commercial roofs and pitched roof slopes, and people most often book us about damp patches with no obvious cause and patches of heat loss across the roof.
In a small place like Fox, open ground can mean strong wind. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. The visit is planned around the forecast, along with the journey and access. A change in the forecast can mean moving the visit to another day.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

What a survey costs
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Which survey package you book
Every price we give includes VAT. Our price is from £400, including VAT. You will know the exact price before booking.
Getting in touch
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- When you need the report by
Getting a price is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and give us some details about the property and we will suggest the right survey. The price is agreed up front.
Thermal roof surveys in Fox: local notes
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 is where a view from above or a thermal image earns its place. If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that’s where a view from the air or with a thermal camera helps.
Fox is about 5 miles west of Andover, in Hampshire. We visit Fox as part of our work across Hampshire, for houses, flats and commercial buildings. Fox is one of the towns and villages in Hampshire where we work for thermal roof surveys. Our Southampton page covers surveys nearby.

How the survey works
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. After that, we look at everything we can see safely. The survey normally takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In a small place like Fox, access is usually the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- 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 be seen safely.
- A thermal camera records how the surface temperature varies across the roof.
- We check the patterns that stand out with moisture readings where there is safe access.
- The report sets out the images, what they suggest and what we recommend.
How to prepare
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
How to book
Every survey is priced before it’s booked, so you know the cost up front. Prices start from £400, including VAT. To book, ring 07833 053749 or email us.

Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Fox
Do you cover Fox?
Yes, Fox is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Fox as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How do I find out if my home in Fox is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
How do I book a survey in Fox?
Just phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Can thermal imaging show missing insulation?
Gaps and thin areas of insulation can show up on the camera. It shows most clearly when it is warm inside and cold outside. Where we can reach the loft safely, we check there too.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Is thermal imaging useful on pitched roofs?
It can show heat loss and some damp, but it has more limits there. We explain what the images can and cannot tell you, and we check them with a visual inspection and moisture readings.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.

What we can’t see
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Bear these in mind:
- Clear results when the conditions on the day are poor
- A structural engineer’s assessment
- Seeing water directly, as the camera shows temperature, not moisture

Roof types and parts we check
- Insulated roof spaces
- Loft conversions
- Ceilings below the roof
- Flat roofs
- Commercial roofs
- Pitched roof slopes
Do you need a thermal roof survey in Fox?
Not every roof problem shows on the surface. Trapped moisture, missing insulation and hidden heat loss are three examples. Thermal imaging gives us another way to look for them.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Leaks that are hard to trace
- Wet areas near outlets and upstands
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
- Water getting in at parapets and stacks
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Amport Church of England Primary School, big roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images show the most at once.
Questions to ask before booking
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Which limits apply to the survey
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
Why get it checked now?
Wet insulation under a flat roof does not dry out on its own while the covering stays on. In time, it stops insulating properly and can damage the deck. Finding them early can mean a smaller job. For an older or listed building in a place like Fox, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, which starts from £400, including VAT. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
