What a thermal roof survey looks like in Kings Worthy
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. Where a roof is steep, tall or hard to see from ground level, drone photos and thermal images add detail. 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 the council is the place to ask.
Anyone responsible for a site like Kings Worthy Primary School will know that big roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images show the most at once.

Thermal roof survey in Kings Worthy
A thermal camera can help when the cause of damp isn’t obvious. 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 don’t rely on the camera alone. If you’ve noticed areas of a flat roof that may hold water and damp around chimneys and parapets, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Older buildings in small places like Kings Worthy may be listed or in a conservation area. A look by drone or thermal camera doesn’t touch the roof, so it’s a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photo. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Common roof problems in Kings Worthy
Not every roof problem shows on the surface. Wet insulation, gaps in insulation and heat loss are often invisible from outside. Thermal imaging gives us another way to look for them.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
- Damp around chimneys and parapets
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
- Patches of heat loss across the roof
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Mary, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof frequently shows up clearly on a thermal image.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Kings Worthy
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed in advance. Surveys run on any day of the week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
What we cannot see
It is a careful look at the roof, not the whole story. Its limits include:
- Reliable images in rain, strong wind or on a wet roof surface
- Hidden layers that need to be opened up to check
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will tell you before booking. The full list of what we check.
What this survey covers
- Ceilings below the roof
- Commercial roofs
- Loft conversions
- Flat roofs
- Pitched roof slopes
- Insulated roof spaces
What happens if roof problems are left?
Once insulation under a membrane is wet, it tends to stay wet. Over time, it insulates less well and can harm the deck. Finding the wet areas sooner keeps the work smaller. Older and listed buildings around Kings Worthy may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
Why us?
- 5,000+ roofs surveyed
- 98% of customers satisfied
- Thermal imaging and drones used where they help
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
Should I look at the roof myself first?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Questions from Kings Worthy
Is Kings Worthy within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Kings Worthy?
Yes, Kings Worthy is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Kings Worthy as anywhere else.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so we need permission from the freeholder or managing agent. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Can a thermal camera see water?
No, not on its own. It shows temperature, and wet materials often behave differently from dry ones. That is why we check any patterns with moisture readings.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
How it works
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey normally takes about one to two hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. Rural addresses near Kings Worthy can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start by discussing the roof, any signs of damp and how the weather may affect the images.
- We check the roof from the ground, from windows and from the roof itself where it’s safe.
- A thermal camera records how the surface temperature varies across the roof.
- We check the patterns that stand out with moisture readings where there is safe access.
- We write up the thermal images alongside ordinary photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
