When you need someone else
Our survey is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- A structural engineer’s assessment
- Insulation values or heat loss calculations
- What’s inside walls or under coverings, without opening up

Thermal roof survey in Meonstoke
Thermal imaging can also show where a roof is losing heat. Missing or slipped insulation and gaps at the eaves often show up as temperature differences. The difference shows most clearly when it is warm inside and cold outside. The report shows the images and explains what they may mean. We don’t give energy ratings or heat loss calculations. Typical surveys look at wet areas near outlets and upstands and ceilings that feel colder in places, on insulated roof spaces, pitched roof slopes and commercial roofs.
In a village or hamlet like Meonstoke, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what cannot be reached safely. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first, and the journey is planned in advance. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Drones, thermal imaging and Meonstoke roofs
Hinton Ampner House, about 4.8 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Meonstoke. 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 a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
Take a building like Meonstoke Church of England Infant School: a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it. The streets around a church such as Church of St Andrew are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that’s where a view from above or with a thermal imager helps.
Meonstoke is about 7 miles north-west of Horndean, in Hampshire. Meonstoke is part of the area we cover and the surrounding area across London and South East England. Our area takes in places right across Hampshire. Our Southampton page covers surveys nearby.

Questions from Meonstoke

Is Meonstoke in the area you cover?
Yes, Meonstoke is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
What will the report tell me?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos. Points are put by urgency where it matters.
When does the report arrive?
Each package has its own report time. Basic is within 48 hours, Standard is 24–48 hours and Premium is the same day. If you have a deadline, like an exchange date, tell us as you book.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.

Different roofs, different checks
Loft insulation
In the loft space, the camera can pick up gaps and thin areas of insulation. We inspect the loft where it can be reached safely.
GRP fibreglass roofs
Cracks in GRP can let water into the boards beneath. We combine a visual check of cracks with the thermal images around them.

The survey, step by step
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. Cottages and farmhouses around Meonstoke often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We go through the roof, the problem and the weather expected on the day.
- We look over the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- We take thermal images of the roof and of the loft where we can reach it.
- We take moisture readings where the images suggest a problem.
- Each image is set beside a normal photo and explained in the report.
How to prepare
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of

What happens if roof problems are left?
If a big flat roof may need replacing, knowing the wet areas first is useful. Thermal imaging, checked with moisture readings, gives a clearer picture before you spend. In a small place like Meonstoke, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Thermal roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included.

Tips that help
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Take photos of stains as they appear, so we can compare
- Keep the report to compare against after any repair
- Clear leaves from outlets and gutters each autumn
- Talk to us about the weather when booking
If the images suggest moisture that can’t be confirmed, we will say what would help next, for example electronic leak detection or a roofer opening up a small section.
Have small defects in the covering fixed early. Water that gets under a covering can spread a long way before it shows.
