Leave it or get it looked at?
Thermal images can suggest the extent of wet areas without cutting into the roof. It helps when deciding whether to patch an area or replace the roof. For older village homes like those around Kingsley, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.

Thermal roof survey in Kingsley
Thermal imaging is useful when a damp patch has no clear cause. Water can travel some distance under a roof covering before it shows inside, and the camera can show patterns that help us follow it. We combine the images with a visual inspection and moisture readings, so no conclusion rests on one method alone. If you’ve noticed possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering and ceilings that feel colder in places, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a small place like Kingsley, open ground can mean strong wind. A small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. A change in the forecast can mean moving the visit to another day.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

How the survey changes by roof type
Parapets, valleys and junctions
Junctions where roofs meet walls, parapets and valleys are common places for water to get in. The camera can help show damp around these junctions.
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.
What else we do in Kingsley
What happens on the day
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. Somewhere as small as Kingsley, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start with the roof, its history and any signs of damp or heat loss.
- We check the conditions and note how they may affect the images.
- A full inspection and thermal imaging are carried out together.
- We back up the thermal patterns with moisture readings.
- The Premium report reaches you the same day, and we go through it with you in person.
Preparing for the visit
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
Book a survey
Prices start from £400, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details.
Advice
Thermal roof surveys in Kingsley: local notes
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Steep or complicated roofs are frequently hard to see from the ground, which is where aerial photos and thermal images help.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Mill Chase Academy, a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.
Kingsley is about 4 miles east of Alton, in Hampshire. Anywhere in Kingsley, we can carry out thermal roof surveys at your property. Our area takes in places right across Hampshire, large and small. For surveys nearby, see our Guildford page.
Postcode districts we cover here for thermal roof surveys: GU35. Whether your property is on Forge Road, Woodfield and Churchfields or anywhere close by, we can survey it. We also cover Sleaford (1 mile east), Pinewood Village (1 mile south), Frithend (2 miles north-east), Bordon (2 miles south) and Lindford (2 miles south-east). We also work in nearby towns such as Basingstoke (13 miles north-west), Farnborough (12 miles north-east), Fleet (10 miles north), Aldershot (9 miles north-east), Alton (4 miles west) and Petersfield (10 miles south).
What’s near Kingsley
Locally, jobs take us to homes and businesses close to The New Inn. For rail, the closest station is Bentley (Hampshire) station, about 3 miles north of the centre. A little further out are Chase Community Hospital (2.3 miles south). Green spaces nearby include Deadwater Valley and Selborne Hill.
What we can’t see
Every survey has limits, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Bear these in mind:
- Proving moisture from the images alone
- Readings unaffected by sun, shade or reflections
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book. What a survey covers and does not.
What we look at
- Commercial roofs
- Pitched roof slopes
- Flat roofs
- Ceilings below the roof
- Loft conversions
- Insulated roof spaces
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
We survey roofs for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the roof, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, with the report sent to whoever needs it. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Kingsley questions
Do you cover Kingsley?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is Kingsley within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What’s in the report?
A photo-illustrated written report, 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 applicable and structural analysis.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed.
Will I get photos?
Yes. The report includes photographs of what we found.
Can you use a thermal camera on a sloping roof?
On pitched roofs, the camera can point to heat loss and some damp patterns. Our report is clear about what can be read from them, and we check them with a visual inspection and moisture readings.
Do you need a thermal roof survey in Kingsley?
On big commercial and residential flat roofs, thermal imaging helps owners plan. It can suggest which areas may be wet and which seem dry, so moisture readings can be targeted.
Common reasons to book include:
- Wet areas near outlets and upstands
- Heat escaping through the roof
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
- Water getting in at parapets and stacks
If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that is where a view from above or with a thermal imager helps.
Before booking anyone
- What follow-up you get after the report
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
