Knights Enham Thermal Roof Survey
Find out what’s going on with the roof before you decide what to do next. We carry out thermal roof surveys in Knights Enham.
- Leaks far from where the stain appears
- Water getting in at parapets and stacks
- Missing or slipped insulation
About our thermal roof survey in Knights Enham
Wet insulation under a flat roof covering holds heat for longer than dry. So a wet patch can show as a warmer or cooler area on the camera. This can give an idea of how far water has travelled beneath the membrane, which is hard to judge by eye. Moisture readings are then used to check what the camera suggests. We survey loft conversions, commercial roofs and insulated roof spaces, and common reasons people get in touch are cold spots on ceilings under the roof and water that travels before it shows.
Villages like Knights Enham often stand in open country, where wind can be strong. High wind or heavy rain stops a small drone flying, and calm conditions also suit thermal imaging best. 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, each with a short note and a photograph. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Honest limits
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- A structural engineer’s assessment
- Insulation values or heat loss calculations
- Seeing water directly, as the camera shows temperature, not moisture
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we will suggest the right survey. What a survey covers and does not.
What we check
- Ceilings below the roof

Knights Enham: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Knights Enham is listed?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you cover Knights Enham?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Knights Enham as anywhere else.
What can thermal imaging tell me about my roof?
The camera records how the surface temperature varies. The patterns can suggest wet insulation, gaps in insulation or heat escaping. We check what it shows with moisture readings.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
What’s in the report?
A written report with photographs, covering the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend, in order of urgency where relevant. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection and a structural check, and the Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies and structural analysis.
Are you insured?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Does the report include photos?
Yes, every report has them. Pictures sit next to the findings they show, so you can see what we mean.
Flying and imaging in Knights Enham
If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Older coverings on steep or tall roofs are hard to judge from below, so close-up aerial photos and thermal images help.
Take a building like Roman Way Primary School: a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Michael and All Angels, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image.
Knights Enham is about 1 mile north of Andover, in Hampshire. Wherever you are in Knights Enham, we can come and survey your property, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday. We cover towns and villages across Hampshire, large and small. Southampton is in our area too.

Roof by roof
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.
Pitched slate and tile roofs
Thermal images of a pitched roof can still show heat loss patterns and some damp areas. The report explains what the images can tell you and what they can’t.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Knights Enham often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- You tell us about the roof and any damp, leaks or cold rooms.
- 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.
- The Premium report reaches you the same day, and we go through it with you in person.
Preparing for the visit
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared

Tips that help
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Ask us about the forecast if rain is expected
- Note where damp appears and after what weather
- Keep the report to compare against after any repair
- Make sure the loft can be reached safely
Premium Surveys include an in-person consultation, giving you the chance to talk through the images and findings. There’s a 12-month follow-up too.
Check loft insulation covers the whole area and hasn’t been disturbed. Gaps frequently appear after work in the loft.
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. In a place like Knights Enham, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £400, including VAT.
Why book with us
- Package prices that include VAT
- Over 5,000 surveys carried out

What you can safely check yourself
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
It is useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book and it will help the survey.
