What this survey cannot tell you
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer
- Proving moisture from the images alone
- An energy rating for the building
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll recommend the right survey before you book. What a survey covers and does not.

About our thermal roof survey in Gundleton
Thermal imaging is a useful tool, but it has limits. It shows surface temperature, and things like sun, shade, reflections and wind all affect the readings. We back up the images with moisture readings and a careful look at the roof. Our report says plainly what the camera picked up and how sure we can be. Where something cannot be confirmed, we say what would help next. If you’ve noticed wet insulation beneath the membrane and damp that repairs haven’t cured, we can find out what’s behind it.
Somewhere as small as Gundleton, older roofs are often steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you can’t get from ground level. Weather and airspace are checked before the visit, and the journey is planned beforehand. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What a survey costs
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- The shape of the roof and its details
- The roof’s overall size
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.
Getting in touch
A little information up front helps. It’s useful to include:
- The property’s address and postcode
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- What’s prompted the survey
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or email us, let us know about the property and we will suggest the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Questions from Gundleton
How do I find out if my home in Gundleton is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. 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 smaller places like Gundleton?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Will I get photos?
Yes, plenty. Pictures sit next to the findings they show.
What happens after the survey?
You’ll receive the report by email, and you decide the next step: use it with a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent.
How quickly is the report sent?
Each package has its own report time. Basic is within 48 hours, Standard is 24–48 hours and Premium is the same day. If you have a deadline, such as an exchange date, tell us when you book.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
What we do, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll take it from there. The survey itself takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Somewhere as small as Gundleton, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First we go over the roof, the problem you’ve noticed and the conditions forecast for the visit.
- 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.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
Booking a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or email us.

Useful tips for Gundleton property owners
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Keep outlets and gutters clear to stop water sitting
- Keep a record of when stains appear
- Talk to us about the weather when booking
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
If the images suggest moisture that can’t be confirmed, we will say what would help next, for instance 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.

We survey roofs for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the roof.

Thermal roof surveys around Gundleton
Hinton Ampner House, about 4 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Gundleton. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. 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. Steep or complicated roofs are often hard to see from ground level, which is where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help.
Take a building like Perins School: thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof. If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, 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.

Roof by roof
Pitched slate and tile roofs
Thermal images of a pitched roof can still show heat loss patterns and some damp areas. The report explains what the images can tell you and what they cannot.
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
These coverings sit directly on the layers beneath, so temperature differences frequently show through. Any patterns are checked with moisture readings.
