Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Inhurst
How do I find out if my home in Inhurst is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Inhurst?
Yes, Inhurst is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details.
What’s in the report?
A report with photos, explaining the condition of the roof, any defects and our recommendations, with the most urgent first where relevant. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check; Premium adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies and structural analysis.
How experienced are you?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
How soon will I get the report?
The Premium Survey report comes the same day, the Standard within 24–48 hours and the Basic within 48 hours. All of them come by email.
What insurance do you have?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Inhurst
A thermal survey is not a quick fix for every roof problem. Sun, shade, reflective surfaces and wind can all change what the camera shows. We back up the images with moisture readings and a careful look at the roof. The report is clear about what the images show and what they don’t. If a finding cannot be confirmed, the report suggests a next step. If you’ve noticed missing or slipped insulation and damp around chimneys and parapets, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on ceilings below the roof, loft conversions and flat roofs alike.
In a small place like Inhurst, open ground can mean strong wind. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. The visit is planned around the forecast, along with the journey and access. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Drones, thermal imaging and Inhurst roofs
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Many roofs like these cannot be judged properly from the pavement, and that’s where a view from above or a thermal image earns its place. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so check with the council.
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Saint Mary's Church, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image.
Inhurst is about 2 miles west of Tadley, in Hampshire. We survey roofs in Inhurst as part of our work across London and South East England. We cover towns and villages across Hampshire, large and small. There’s also a page for Reading.
Here we cover the RG26 postcode area for thermal roof surveys. Whether your property is on Inhurst Lane, Stokes Lane and Brimpton Road or a nearby road, we can help. Close by, we survey roofs in Heath End (1 mile north-east), Baughurst (1 mile south-east), Axmansford (1 mile south), Brimpton Common (1 mile north-west) and Tadley (2 miles east). We also work in nearby towns such as Basingstoke (7 miles south-east), Yateley (15 miles east), Hook (11 miles south-east), Popley (6 miles south-east), Kempshott (8 miles south) and Oakridge (7 miles south-east).
Around Inhurst
We work in homes and buildings around Burnham Copse Primary School and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Midgham station, roughly 2.8 miles north. A little further out are Park Prewett Hospital (5.8 miles south-east) and Calleva Museum (3.5 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Thatcham Reed Beds.
Honest limits
Our survey is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- Seeing water directly, as the camera shows temperature, not moisture
- A structural engineer’s assessment
- A formal energy assessment
If you’re not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

What a survey costs
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
What we need to know
There is no need for technical words. Just tell us:
- Dates you are working to, like exchange
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
We confirm the price for your survey before booking, so you know the cost up front. Thermal roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. To book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Inhurst
Letting agents and landlords in Inhurst book surveys as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photos, useful for planning maintenance.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed in advance. Surveys run on any day of the week, which can make access easier.
How it works
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. Most visits take between one and two hours at most homes, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Older rural homes like those around Inhurst can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- We look over the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- Thermal images are taken across the roof and, where there is safe access, in the loft.
- Patterns that stand out are checked with moisture readings.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
Before the survey
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Let us know about parking near the property
How to book
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Roof by roof
Parapets, valleys and junctions
When valley or parapet gutters overflow, water can get into walls and ceilings. Thermal images, checked with moisture readings, can help trace it.
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.

Common roof problems in Inhurst
Some owners book because the rooms under the roof feel cold. Missing or slipped insulation can stand out as temperature differences, especially when it is warm inside and cold outside.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
- Leaks that are hard to trace
- Missing or slipped insulation
Anyone responsible for a site like The Hurst School will know that a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.
