Thermal imaging roof survey in Ibworth, Hampshire
Independent thermal roof surveys in Ibworth. We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
- Gaps in loft insulation
- Leaks far from where the stain appears
The survey, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes about 1–2 hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. You are welcome to ask questions while we’re there. Around Ibworth, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start with the roof, its history and any signs of damp or heat loss.
- The weather and surface conditions are recorded.
- A full inspection and thermal imaging are carried out together.
- Moisture readings are used to check what the camera shows.
- You get the report the same day, with an in-person consultation to follow.
Preparing for the visit
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Point out any leaks or damp patches

How a thermal roof survey works in Ibworth
A thermal survey can point to places where heat is escaping through the roof. Missing or slipped insulation and gaps at the eaves frequently show up as temperature differences. The difference shows most clearly when it’s warm inside and cold outside. The report shows the images and explains what they may mean. It is not an energy rating or a heat loss calculation. Typical surveys look at damp that repairs haven’t cured and missing or slipped insulation, on commercial roofs, flat roofs and loft conversions.
In a village or hamlet like Ibworth, 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 looked at before the visit, and the journey is planned ahead of time. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

How we price thermal roof surveys
Our packages start from £150, with VAT included. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Roof area
- Height and safe access
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.
What to tell us when you contact us
If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- What kind of property and roof it is
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- What’s prompted the survey
Unsure which package suits your roof? The easiest way is to phone 07833 053749 or email us and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We will explain the options and the price.

Different roofs, different checks
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
Because these membranes are thin, patterns from below often show. Reflections from shiny surfaces can affect readings, which we allow for.
GRP fibreglass roofs
Water under a GRP roof can reach the timber deck. Thermal imaging can suggest where that may be happening.
What a thermal roof survey doesn’t cover
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer
- Proving moisture from the images alone
- Insulation values or heat loss calculations

Do you need a thermal roof survey in Ibworth?
After a repair, some owners want to know whether the roof has dried out. A thermal survey with moisture readings can show whether wet areas remain, given suitable conditions on the day.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
- Wet areas near outlets and upstands
- Cold areas below the roof
- Gaps in loft insulation
Historic houses such as The Vyne, about 4.8 miles north-east, show how far back building around Ibworth goes. For older roofs nearby, a look from above or with a thermal imager is a hands-off way to check condition.
What to check before booking
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
Thermal roof surveys around Ibworth
If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Older coverings on steep or tall roofs are hard to judge from below, so close-up close-up aerial shots and thermal images help.
Around Ibworth, as everywhere, small roof faults are simplest to sort before they let water in.

How many surveys have you done?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
What can thermal imaging tell me about my roof?
It records surface temperature across the roof. Differences can suggest wet areas, missing insulation or heat loss, which we then check with moisture readings.
Can you use a thermal camera on a sloping roof?
On pitched roofs, the camera can point to heat loss and some damp patterns. We explain what the images can and cannot tell you, and back them up with a visual inspection and moisture readings.
