Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Lower Green
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. The images are used alongside a visual inspection and moisture readings, so the findings do not rely on the camera alone. If you’re worried about damp patches with no obvious cause and damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Lower Green, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you can’t get from the ground. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

What we do, step by step
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey typically takes an hour or two for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. Around Lower Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We go through the roof, the problem and the weather expected on the day.
- We look over the roof from wherever it is safe.
- 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.
- Each image is set beside a normal photo and explained in the report.
Before the survey
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Tell us about parking before the day

Airspace, weather and Lower Green roofs
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Where a roof is steep, tall or hard to see from ground level, drone photos and thermal images add detail.
In and around Lower Green, as anywhere, a roof is easiest to deal with when its problems are found early. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St Peter and St Paul, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image.
Lower Green is about 4 miles north of Petersfield, in Hampshire. We visit Lower Green as part of our work across Hampshire. We cover towns and villages across Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. We also survey roofs in Portsmouth.

Can I check my roof myself?
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.

Helping us price your survey
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- Dates you’re working to, like exchange
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
We survey roofs on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.
Tips that help
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Check the loft can be reached safely
- Leave the roof to people with safe access
- Photograph damp patches with the date
- Ask us about the forecast if rain is expected
Where a pattern cannot be confirmed, the report says what could help, such as electronic leak detection or opening up a small area.
After repairs or a new covering, a later survey can confirm things are dry in suitable weather.
For landlords and managing agents
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client, photographs included.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which can make access easier.
Common questions in Lower Green
Is Lower Green in the area you cover?
Yes. We work right across London and the South East, and Lower Green is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is my home in Lower Green 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.
What will the report tell me?
You get our findings in writing, part by part, with photos. The most urgent items are made clear.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
How does a thermal imaging roof survey work?
The images show how warm or cool each part of the surface is. Unusual patterns can point to trapped water, gaps in insulation or heat escaping, and we check them with moisture readings.
Are you insured?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
How do I arrange a thermal roof survey in Lower Green?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
