Thermal imaging roof survey in Funtley, Hampshire
Independent thermal roof surveys in Funtley. We have completed more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
- Damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys
- Stains that keep coming back
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out by urgency where it matters.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.
How a thermal roof survey works in Funtley
Wet insulation under a flat roof covering holds heat for longer than dry. So a wet patch can show as a warmer or cooler area on the camera. This can give an idea of how far water has travelled beneath the membrane, something you can’t normally tell from the surface. We then check those areas with moisture readings. Common reasons to book are moisture around outlets and upstands and missing or slipped insulation, across commercial roofs, ceilings below the roof and pitched roof slopes.
Some older homes in villages like Funtley are listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on the roof, so it’s a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
It is useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book.
Tips that help
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Ask us about the forecast if rain is expected
- Check from the ground or a window, never by climbing
- Clear a path to the loft hatch before we arrive
- Keep dated photos of any marks on ceilings
We note the weather and surface conditions, and how they may have affected the results. It helps you judge how firm each finding is.
Clear outlets and gutters regularly, so water does not sit on the roof. The less water sits, the less can find its way beneath.
Funtley questions
Do you cover Funtley?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and Funtley is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property.
How do I find out if my home in Funtley is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
How fast do I get the report?
It depends on the package: the Basic Survey report arrives within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey the same day. The report is emailed to you.
Can you use a thermal camera on a sloping roof?
It can help, but the results are frequently less clear than on a flat roof. 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.
What insurance do you have?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
Can thermal imaging show missing insulation?
Thermal images can suggest where heat is escaping and where insulation may be missing. The survey isn’t an energy rating or a heat loss calculation, but the images show where improvements may help.
How does a thermal imaging roof survey work?
It records surface temperature across the roof. Differences can suggest wet areas, missing insulation or heat loss, and we check them with moisture readings.
Prices for thermal roof surveys in Funtley
Survey packages start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £400, including VAT.
What we need to know
Before you get in touch, it’s useful to have:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- When you need the report by
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Where the property is, with the postcode
Our phone lines are open seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. For a price or to book, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Thermal roof surveys in Funtley: local notes
Funtley is within about 3 miles of the coast, and wind off the sea can be strong. Clear thermal results need a dry roof and little wind after a sunny day, so the date depends on the forecast. If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
Anyone responsible for a site like Orchard Lea Infant School will know that big roofs are where photos from the air and thermal images show the most at once. Take an older house close to Church of St Francis: thin or patchy insulation under an old roof frequently shows up clearly on a thermal image.

Common roof problems in Funtley
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 is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Leaks that are hard to trace
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
- Damp patches with no obvious cause
- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
If you run a business near Fareham Shopping Centre, large commercial roofs are frequently easiest to see from the air or with a thermal camera.
What to check before booking
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Are they insured for the work?
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?

What else we do in Funtley
The survey, step by step
We do not take risks to get a closer look. We inspect what can be seen safely, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for a house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Rural addresses near Funtley can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- We look over the roof from wherever it is safe.
- We take thermal images of the roof and of the loft where we can reach it.
- We take moisture readings where the images suggest a problem.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
Before the survey
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
Booking a survey
If you’re buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.
