Liphook Thermal Roof Survey
We carry out thermal roof surveys in Liphook and the rest of Hampshire. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
- Leaks far from where the stain appears
- Damp around roof outlets and upstands
- Cold areas below the roof
Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Liphook
Thermal imaging is useful when a damp patch has no clear cause. Leaks frequently 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. We survey insulated roof spaces, commercial roofs and flat roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are cold spots on ceilings under the roof and leaks far from where the stain appears.
Around Liphook, older homes can have thin loft insulation and later additions with roofs of their own. A thermal image can show where heat is escaping or where moisture may be trapped, and drone photos show the roof surfaces themselves. Findings are checked with moisture readings where needed. Calm, dry weather suits both methods, so the date is set with the forecast in mind.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

When you need someone else
We only report what can safely be seen on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- The condition of timbers we can’t see
- Confirming water without moisture readings
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will suggest the right survey before you book. What a survey covers and does not.
What this survey covers
- Flat roofs
- Pitched roof slopes
- Ceilings below the roof
- Commercial roofs
- Loft conversions
- Insulated roof spaces
What a survey costs
Survey packages start from £150, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- How big the roof is
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
Getting in touch
There’s no need for technical words. Just tell us:
- The property’s address and postcode
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
To book a survey, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. You will know the price before anything is booked.
Drones, thermal imaging and Liphook 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. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
Anyone responsible for a site like Bohunt School will know that a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.
Liphook is about 8 miles north-east of Petersfield, in Hampshire. Bookings from Liphook are handled just like any other: get in touch, agree the price and pick a day. We cover towns and villages across Hampshire, large and small. Guildford is in our area too.
Surveys in GU30 are booked the same way as anywhere else. If you need a thermal roof survey at a property on London Road, Station Road and Childerstone Close or a nearby road, we can survey it. We also cover the places around Liphook: Weavers Down (1 mile west), Conford (1 mile north-west), Passfield (2 miles north-west), Milland (3 miles south) and Longmoor (3 miles west). Within a short drive, we also cover Farnborough (15 miles north), Fleet (14 miles north), Horndean (15 miles south-west), Aldershot (12 miles north), Alton (9 miles north-west) and Petersfield (8 miles south-west).
Near you in Liphook
Typical jobs here are in homes near The Green Dragon Public House and Liphook Infant School and the streets around them. Liphook’s nearest station is Liphook station, roughly 0.5 miles south of the centre. Nearby you will also find Chase Community Hospital (3.3 miles north-west). The countryside around Liphook includes Lynchmere Commons and Wheeler's Down.
When to book a survey in Liphook
Some owners book because the rooms under the roof feel cold. Missing or slipped insulation can stand out as temperature differences, particularly when there is a clear difference between inside and outside.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Cold spots on ceilings under the roof
- Patches of heat loss across the roof
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
- Gaps in loft insulation
Take an older house close to St Mary's Church Centre: older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help.
Questions to ask before booking
- How soon the report will arrive
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
Useful tips for Liphook property owners
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Heat the home normally on the days before
- Check outlets after heavy rain
- Ask us about the forecast if rain is expected
- Note where damp appears and after what weather
You can pass the report to a roofer so they can see where the problem areas seem to be. Each thermal image is matched to a normal photo, so the areas are easy to locate.
Deal with small splits and lifted seams promptly. Once water gets under a membrane, it can travel far before it appears inside.
Common questions in Liphook
Do you cover smaller places like Liphook?
Yes, Liphook is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
How do I find out if my home in Liphook is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a 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.
Is thermal imaging included in your surveys?
It comes with our Premium Survey, which starts from £400. The Premium Survey also covers a full inspection, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and a report on the same day.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and visible signs like sagging are noted, but calculations and an engineer’s opinion are outside what we do. The report will say if you need an engineer.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. We check the parts we’re given access to.
The survey, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. If you have questions on the day, just ask. A visit to a smaller place like Liphook is no different on the day: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. It helps to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- First we go over the roof, the problem you’ve noticed and the conditions forecast for the visit.
- We carry out a visual inspection of the roof from wherever it can safely be seen.
- Thermal images are taken to show differences in surface temperature.
- We check the patterns that stand out with moisture readings where there is safe access.
- The report sets out the images, what they suggest and what we recommend.
Getting ready for the survey
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
Arrange a survey
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or send us an email, let us know about the property and we will explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
