Hundred Acres Thermal Roof Survey
Know where you stand with the roof before you decide what to do next. We carry out thermal roof surveys in Hundred Acres, with photos and a clear written report.
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
- Missing or slipped insulation
Different roofs, different checks
Pitched slate and tile roofs
Even on pitched roofs, the camera can point to heat loss and some damp. We explain what can and cannot be read from them.
GRP fibreglass roofs
GRP roofs are laid over timber boards, so trapped moisture can affect the deck. The camera can help show where to look.
Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Hundred Acres
A thermal survey can point to places where heat is escaping through the roof. Gaps in loft insulation and poorly insulated areas can stand out on the images. It works best when the building is heated and it’s colder outside. The report shows the images and explains what they may mean. We don’t give energy ratings or heat loss calculations. Typical surveys look at patches of heat loss across the roof and missing or slipped insulation, on flat roofs, insulated roof spaces and loft conversions.
In a village or hamlet like Hundred Acres, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what cannot be reached safely. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first, and the journey is planned beforehand. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photos show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Hundred Acres
Wet insulation under a flat roof does not dry out on its own while the covering stays on. Over time, it insulates less well and can harm the deck. Finding them early can mean a smaller job. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. You’ll know the price for your survey before booking.

What we’re asked to look at in Hundred Acres
After a repair, some owners want to know whether the roof has dried out. Thermal images and moisture readings can suggest whether moisture is still trapped, given suitable conditions on the day.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
- Thin or uneven insulation in the roof
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
Shop and office owners around Fareham Shopping Centre may find that large commercial roofs are frequently easiest to see from the air or with a thermal camera.

Questions from Hundred Acres
Do you carry out roof surveys in Hundred Acres?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, and Hundred Acres is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details.
Is Hundred Acres within the area you cover?
Yes, Hundred Acres is covered. Our area covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can a thermal camera see water?
Thermal imaging shows temperature rather than water. Wet insulation holds heat longer than dry, so it can stand out, and moisture readings are used to check it.
When does the report arrive?
Each package has its own report time. Basic: within 48 hours. Standard: 24 to 48 hours. Premium: the same day. Mention any deadline when you book.
How do I arrange a thermal roof survey in Hundred Acres?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Are you insured?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and details are available on request.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. Visible signs like deflection or sagging are recorded, but calculations and an engineer’s opinion are outside what we do. If one is needed, the report says so.
What we cannot see
In fairness, there are limits to any roof survey:
- An energy rating for the building
- A structural engineer’s assessment
- Clear results when the conditions on the day are poor
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will point you to the right survey. What our survey covers.
Roof types and parts we check
- Pitched roof slopes
- Ceilings below the roof
- Commercial roofs
- Flat roofs
- Loft conversions
- Insulated roof spaces
What affects the cost of thermal roof surveys
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- The size of the roof
- House, block, shop or office
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
Getting in touch

- Your timetable, like an exchange date

Thermal roof surveys around Hundred Acres
Hundred Acres is within about 4 miles of the coast, and wind off the sea can be strong. Calm, dry conditions after a sunny day suit thermal imaging best, so the visit is planned around the forecast. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Nicholas are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that’s where a view from above or with a thermal imager helps.

How it works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. It normally takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. In a hamlet or village like Hundred Acres, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start with the roof, its history and any signs of damp or heat loss.
- The weather and surface conditions are recorded.
- We inspect the roof and take thermal images during the same visit.
- We back up the thermal patterns with moisture readings.
- You get the report the same day, with an in-person consultation to follow.
Getting ready for the survey
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
Booking a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
