Thermal imaging roof survey in Frogmore, Hampshire
An experienced roof surveyor for thermal roof surveys in Frogmore. Over 5,000 surveys and 20+ years behind us.
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
- Damp around chimneys and parapets
- Wet areas near outlets and upstands
What we do, step by step
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the loft space if there’s safe access. All told, expect about 1–2 hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. Being in a smaller place like Frogmore doesn’t change how the visit works: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- We start by discussing the roof, any signs of damp and how the weather may affect the images.
- We check the roof from ground level, from windows and from the roof itself where it’s safe.
- Thermal images are taken to show differences in surface temperature.
- 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.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
Booking a survey
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and give us some details about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

How a thermal roof survey works in Frogmore
Thermal imaging is part of our Premium Survey, which starts from £400. It also includes a drone inspection where applicable, a structural analysis and a same-day report. An in-person consultation and a 12-month follow-up are included too. To book, just call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you’ve noticed. For big commercial roofs, we quote on size and access. We survey insulated roof spaces, loft conversions and ceilings below the roof, and the problems we are asked to look at most are wet areas near outlets and upstands and water that travels before it shows.
Places like Frogmore can be near small airfields or other airspace restrictions, so the Drone Safety Map is checked before any flight. Open ground can mean stronger wind, which also affects whether a small drone can fly. Neighbours’ privacy is part of planning each flight, along with the airspace and the weather.
The report is written in plain words, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Photos show what each point refers to, and recommendations are put by urgency where it matters.

Thermal roof surveys around Frogmore
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Where a roof is steep, tall or hard to see from the ground, drone photos and thermal images add detail. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
The streets around a church like St Barnabas Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.
Frogmore is about 1 mile south-west of Sandhurst, in Hampshire. Frogmore is part of the area we cover across London and South East England. Across Hampshire, we cover Frogmore. We also survey roofs in Reading.
Thermal roof surveys in GU17, GU47 and GU46 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. We offer thermal roof surveys to properties on Bell Lane, Green Lane and Reading Road and the roads around them. We also cover Blackwater (1 mile east), Hawley (1 mile south-east), College Town (1 mile north-east), Sandhurst (1 mile north-east) and York Town (2 miles east). Larger places within reach include Basingstoke (14 miles west), Farnborough (3 miles south-east), Fleet (5 miles south-west), Aldershot (6 miles south), Alton (15 miles south-west) and Tadley (15 miles west).
What’s near Frogmore
Around Frogmore, our work takes us to homes and buildings near White Swan pub, Frogmore Community College and Sandhurst Memorial Park, among other places.

What this survey cannot tell you
A survey is a proper look at the roof, but it can’t do everything. The main limits are:
- Proving moisture from the images alone
- Insulation values or heat loss calculations
- Hidden layers that need to be opened up to check

What else we do in Frogmore
Before and after the survey
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Take photos of stains as they appear, so we can compare
- Note where damp appears and after what weather
- Keep the heating on as usual before a heat loss survey
- Leave the roof to people with safe access
After the visit, we put the thermal images, photographs and moisture readings into one report. Each image is explained in plain words, alongside what we recommend. Premium reports are sent the same day.
Check that loft insulation is laid evenly and hasn’t been pushed aside. Gaps often appear after work in the loft.
Roof by roof
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
Built-up felt and asphalt roofs can hide trapped water for a long time. The camera can give clues to where it is sitting, given suitable conditions on the day.
Loft insulation
Loft insulation is easily disturbed when people store things or run cables. The camera can show where it no longer covers the ceiling.
Common roof problems in Frogmore
Some buyers want extra detail before they commit to a purchase. A Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, a drone inspection where it applies and a same-day report, which helps when timescales are tight.
Look out for signs like these:
- Damp around chimneys and parapets
- Leaks that are hard to trace
- Heat escaping through the roof
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
If you look after a building such as Frogmore Junior School, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.
What to check before booking
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- What they will not be able to tell you
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
Frogmore questions
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Frogmore?
The answer turns on the exact location and the conditions on the day. Blackbushe Airport is about 3 miles away, so we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before any flight. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather, and the rest of the survey doesn’t depend on the drone.
Do you cover smaller places like Frogmore?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Is thermal imaging useful on pitched roofs?
It can help, but the results are often less clear than on a flat roof. Slates and tiles over a ventilated space can mask what’s below, so we also look from the loft where it is safe.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. Our survey isn’t a structural engineer’s report, and it does not include calculations. If we see signs that need an engineer’s opinion, we will recommend one.
Can a thermal camera see water?
No, not on its own. 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.
How much does a thermal roof survey cost?
Thermal imaging is included in our Premium Survey, from £400. That also includes a full inspection, a drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and a same-day report.
