Thermal roof survey in Hurstbourne Tarrant
Thermal imaging is useful when a damp patch has no clear cause. Leaks often run along a roof before they appear on a ceiling, and the camera can show patterns that help us follow it. The images are used alongside a visual inspection and moisture readings, so the findings do not rely on the camera alone. We are often asked to look into areas of a flat roof that may hold water and damp around roof outlets and upstands, across ceilings below the roof, flat roofs and insulated roof spaces.
In a small place like Hurstbourne Tarrant, open ground can mean strong wind. High wind or heavy rain stops a small drone flying, and calm conditions also suit thermal imaging best. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Photographs show what each point refers to.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
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.

Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when you book and we will plan the survey around it.
What happens on the day
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It typically takes between one and two hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. For a village or hamlet like Hurstbourne Tarrant, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect what can safely be seen, inside and out.
- 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.
- We take moisture readings where the images suggest a problem.
- Each image is set beside a normal photo and explained in the report.
Before the survey
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at

What this survey cannot tell you
Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, and that sets some limits:
- Seeing water directly, as the camera shows temperature, not moisture
- Readings unaffected by sun, shade or reflections
- An energy rating for the building
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we will point you to the right survey before booking. The full list of what we check.
What we look at
- Commercial roofs
- Flat roofs
- Ceilings below the roof
- Loft conversions
- Insulated roof spaces
- Pitched roof slopes
What affects the price in Hurstbourne Tarrant
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- The size of the roof
- The shape of the roof and its details
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £400, including VAT.
Getting in touch
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Anything about access we should know
- What’s prompted the survey
When you’re ready to go ahead, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. From there it’s a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day, weekday or weekend.
How the survey changes by roof type
Loft insulation
Loft insulation is easily disturbed when people store things or run cables. Thermal images can show where it has been pushed aside.
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
On felt and asphalt flat roofs, wet insulation can show as a temperature difference across the surface. We check those patches with moisture readings.
Drones, thermal imaging and Hurstbourne Tarrant roofs
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these. If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
If you look after a building such as Hurstbourne Tarrant Church of England Primary School, big roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images show the most at once. If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image.
