Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in High Cross
Thermal imaging is useful when a damp patch has no clear cause. Water can travel some distance under a roof covering before it shows inside, and temperature patterns can help us trace where it may have come from. We combine the images with a visual inspection and moisture readings, so no conclusion rests on one method alone. We survey pitched roof slopes, loft conversions and commercial roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are wet insulation beneath the membrane and ceilings that feel colder in places.
In a village or hamlet like High Cross, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what can’t be reached safely. Weather and airspace are checked ahead of the visit. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. It’s useful right away, and a good reference for later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

What we’re asked to look at in High Cross
Flat roofs that have leaked for a while can have wet insulation under the covering. Owners want to know how far it has spread before deciding what to do. Thermal images and moisture readings together can show the likely extent.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Patches of heat loss across the roof
- Leaks that are hard to trace
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.

Why act early in High Cross
A damp patch that keeps coming back typically has a cause that hasn’t been found. Thermal imaging with moisture readings can help narrow it down, rather than more guesswork. In a small place like High Cross, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

Common questions in High Cross
Is High Cross within the area you cover?
Yes, High Cross is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you cover High Cross?
Yes, High Cross is within the area we cover. We work right across London and South East England. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the property.
How long is the visit?
Most surveys take between one and two hours on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. The report follows by email.
How much does a thermal roof survey cost?
It comes with our Premium Survey, which starts from £400. That also includes a full inspection, a drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and a same-day report.
How does a thermal imaging roof survey work?
The camera records how the surface temperature varies. The patterns can suggest wet insulation, gaps in insulation or heat escaping. Findings are checked with moisture readings.
Does thermal imaging work on slate and tile roofs?
It can show heat loss and some damp, but it has more limits there. Our report is clear about what can be read from them, and we check them with a visual inspection and moisture readings.
What do I do with the report?
The report arrives by email. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation, so you can talk the findings through.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, putting the urgent items at the top.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work with less disruption.
How it works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes about one to two hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. You’re welcome to ask questions while we are there. Older roofs in small places like High Cross can have low, tight loft spaces, so it is useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- 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 safely be seen.
- 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.
Getting ready for the survey
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
Booking a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.
Advice
DIY checks: what’s safe
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
What affects the cost of thermal roof surveys
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
Our price is from £400, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, access and which survey you book.
What we need to know
Before you get in touch, it is useful to have:
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or email us and we will ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Flying and imaging in High Cross
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Many roofs like these can’t be judged properly from the pavement, and that’s where a view from above or a thermal image earns its place. If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
Anyone responsible for a site like Froxfield Church of England Primary School will know that thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.
