Thermal imaging roof survey in Heath End, Hampshire
Thermal imaging to find moisture and heat loss patterns in a roof for Heath End, from an experienced roof surveyor. You get a clear written report with photographs.
- Missing or slipped insulation
- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
Thermal roof survey in Heath End: what you get
We present each thermal image next to a normal photo of the same area, making it clear where on the roof each pattern is. We explain what each pattern may mean, what the moisture readings found and what we recommend. Premium reports are sent the same day. You can talk the findings through with us at the in-person consultation. There’s a 12-month follow-up as well. Common reasons to book are damp patches with no obvious cause and areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions, on flat roofs, insulated roof spaces and loft conversions.
In a small place like Heath End, open ground can mean strong wind. Strong wind or a downpour stops a small drone flying, and calm conditions also suit thermal imaging best. 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.
It is not only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

Can I check my roof myself?
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That part is for a survey.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Heath End
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work around your tenants.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.
Honest limits
Before booking, it is worth knowing what a survey will not do:
- Insulation values or heat loss calculations
- Seeing water directly, as the camera shows temperature, not moisture
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer

Heath End questions
Is Heath End in the area you cover?
Yes, Heath End is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Heath End as anywhere else.
Is Heath End within the area you cover?
Yes. Heath End is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How do I arrange a thermal roof survey in Heath End?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Is thermal imaging useful on pitched roofs?
It can be useful, though pitched roofs are typically harder to read. The air space under slates and tiles can hide patterns, so we also look from the loft where it is safe.
Can you do a thermal survey in any weather?
Conditions on the day have a big effect on what the camera can show. A dry surface, little wind and a sunny spell beforehand help most. We record the conditions in the report, so you know how much weight to give the images.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. Visible signs such as deflection or sagging are recorded, but we do not provide calculations or an engineer’s opinion. The report will say if you need an engineer.
Airspace, weather and Heath End roofs
Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. 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.
The streets around a church such as Saint Mary's Church are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that is where a view by drone or thermal camera helps. Anyone responsible for a site like The Hurst School will know that thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.

How the survey works
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. Most visits take between one and two hours for most houses; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Cottages and farmhouses around Heath End often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe positions.
- We take thermal images of the roof and of the loft where we can reach it.
- Patterns that stand out are checked with moisture readings.
- Each image is set beside a normal photo and explained in the report.
Before the survey
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
How to book
Prices start from £400, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.
Advice
Roof by roof
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
Water under felt or asphalt can stay hidden for years. Thermal imaging helps suggest where it is, given suitable conditions on the day.
Pitched slate and tile roofs
On pitched roofs, slates and tiles over a ventilated space can mask what’s happening underneath. We back up what the camera shows with a look in the loft where we can.
