Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Littleton
Thermal imaging is a useful tool, but it has limits. It shows surface temperature, and things like sun, shade, reflections and wind all affect the readings. We back up the images with moisture readings and a careful look at the roof. Our report says plainly what the camera picked up and how sure we can be. Where something cannot be confirmed, we say what would help next. We survey ceilings below the roof, commercial roofs and insulated roof spaces, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are stains that keep coming back and thin or uneven insulation in the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Littleton are listed or in a conservation area. A look from above or with a thermal imager doesn’t touch the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care, before anyone decides what work it needs. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Tips that help
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Do not switch the heating off before the visit
- Photograph damp patches with the date
- File the images with your roof records
- Talk to us about the weather when booking
If the images suggest moisture that can’t be confirmed, we’ll say what would help next, like electronic leak detection or opening up a small area.
Make sure loft insulation covers the whole area and hasn’t been disturbed. Insulation is often moved when people work in the loft space.
Littleton questions
Do you cover Littleton?
Yes, Littleton is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Littleton as anywhere else.
Is Littleton within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from the ground, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Does thermal imaging work on slate and tile roofs?
It can be useful, though pitched roofs are usually harder to read. Slates and tiles over a ventilated space can mask what’s below, so we combine it with an inspection from the loft where there is safe access.
What do I do with the report?
The report comes by email, and what you do next is up to you: raise it with a seller, send it to an insurer, brief a roofer or share it with a managing agent.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. We will talk about access when you book.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Flying and imaging in Littleton
If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
If you look after a building such as Harestock Primary School, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it. The streets around a church such as Church of St Catherine are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.
Littleton is about 2 miles north-west of Winchester, in Hampshire. From houses to flats and shops in Littleton, we can survey the roof. Across Hampshire, we cover Littleton and the places around it. For surveys nearby, see our Southampton page.

How the survey works
We will ask a few questions first, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In a small place like Littleton, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- 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.
- We inspect the roof and take thermal images during the same visit.
- We back up the thermal patterns with moisture readings.
- You get the report the same day, with an in-person consultation to follow.
Getting ready for the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

Why get it checked now?
Without thermal imaging, the only way to see how far water has spread is often to open up the roof. It helps when deciding whether to patch an area or replace the roof. Older cottages and farmhouses around Littleton can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
Every price we give includes VAT. Prices start from £400, including VAT. We confirm the exact price before booking.

What affects the cost of thermal roof surveys
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- House, block, shop or office
- The size of the roof
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
Thermal roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can safely be seen and which survey you book.
Getting in touch
Before you get in touch, it’s useful to have:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or email us.

For landlords and managing agents
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Bigger roofs take more time, and they’re priced for the size.
Can I check my roof myself?
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
