Thermal roof survey in Lockerley: what you get
Thermal imaging is part of our Premium Survey, which starts from £400. It also includes a drone inspection where it applies, a structural analysis and a same-day report. There is an in-person consultation as well, plus a follow-up 12 months later. To book, just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you’ve noticed. For big commercial roofs, we quote on size and access. We survey flat roofs, ceilings below the roof and insulated roof spaces, and people most often book us about thin or uneven insulation in the roof and leaks far from where the stain appears.
Some older homes in villages like Lockerley are listed or in a conservation area. A look by drone or thermal camera does not touch the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care, before anyone decides what work it needs. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Can I check my roof myself?
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That’s where a survey comes in.
Tips that help
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Some pointers:
- Keep outlets and gutters clear to stop water sitting
- Keep the report to compare against after any repair
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Keep the heating on as usual before a heat loss survey
If you are buying, the report gives you specific points to raise with the seller or agent. It’s your decision how to use it, whether that is asking for work or discussing the price.
Consider a repeat survey after major work on the roof, when the conditions are suitable.
Why get it checked now?
Repeated repairs that don’t stop a leak are a sign the source hasn’t been traced. Combining the camera with moisture readings can help find it, instead of trying repair after repair. Older cottages and farmhouses around Lockerley can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.

The survey, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. Cottages and farmhouses around Lockerley frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We go through the roof, the problem and the weather expected on the day.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe positions.
- Thermal images are taken across the roof and, where there is safe access, in the loft.
- We take moisture readings where the images suggest a problem.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
How to prepare
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

Advice
Lockerley: your questions answered
Do you carry out roof surveys in Lockerley?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Lockerley is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property.
Is my home in Lockerley listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
What do I do with the report?
The report arrives by email, with photos and clear recommendations. With Standard there is a follow-up consultation; with Premium, an in-person consultation, so you can talk the findings through.
How soon will I get the report?
That depends on the survey you book: the Basic Survey report arrives within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey the same day. The report is emailed to you.
Does the report include photographs?
Yes. The report includes photos of what we found.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. We note visible signs such as sagging or deflection, but we don’t carry out calculations or give an engineer’s opinion. If we think you need an engineer, the report says so.

Thermal roof surveys around Lockerley
About 1.8 miles east lies Mottisfont Abbey, a reminder of how long the area around Lockerley has been built on. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. 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. Older coverings on steep or tall roofs are hard to judge from below, so close-up aerial photos and thermal images help.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Lockerley Church of England Endowed Primary School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof. If you live in an older home near Church of St John, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that’s where a view from the air or with a thermal camera helps.
