Thermal imaging roof survey in Milland, Hampshire
We take a careful look at the roof at your property in Milland, and put it all in a written report with photos.
- Damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys
- Cold spots on ceilings under the roof
- Wet areas near outlets and upstands
Different roofs, different checks
Parapets, valleys and junctions
Water often gets in where roofs meet walls, parapets or valley gutters. Thermal imaging can help show damp patterns around them.
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
Single-ply PVC, TPO and EPDM roofs are often laid over insulation boards. If water gets under them, thermal imaging can suggest which boards are wet.
Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Milland
Wet insulation under a flat roof covering holds heat for longer than dry. So a wet patch can show as a warmer or cooler area on the camera. It helps us see how far water may have spread under the covering, which is hard to judge by eye. Moisture readings are then used to check what the camera suggests. If you’ve noticed wet insulation beneath the membrane and damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a small place like Milland, open ground can mean strong wind. A small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. The visit is planned around the forecast, along with the journey and access. A change in the forecast can mean moving the visit to another day.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Milland
How do I find out if my home in Milland is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Milland?
Yes, Milland is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Will thermal imaging find my leak?
It is a useful tool for tracing leaks, but not the only one. What it shows depends on the weather and the roof. If the source can’t be confirmed, we will say what could help next, such as electronic leak detection.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Are you insured?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Will the survey show heat loss through my roof?
Thermal images can suggest where heat is escaping and where insulation may be missing. We do not give energy ratings or heat loss calculations, but the images show where improvements may help.
How the survey works
It is useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit normally takes an hour or two for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Somewhere like Milland needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- 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.
- Moisture readings are used to check what the camera shows.
- The Premium report reaches you the same day, and we go through it with you in person.
Before we arrive
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
Arrange a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To get started, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Thermal roof surveys around Milland
The wider area around Milland has a long history of building, with Cowdray House about 4.7 miles south-east. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Steep or complicated roofs are often hard to see from the ground, which is where photos from the air and thermal images help.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Hollycombe Primary School, a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit. If you live in an older home near Tuxlith Chapel, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where aerial photos and thermal images help.
Milland is about 6 miles east of Petersfield, in Hampshire. We carry out thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Milland and nearby. Across Hampshire, we cover Milland and the places around it. You can also see our page for Guildford.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps when budgeting.
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
DIY checks: what’s safe
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Before and after the survey
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Keep the report to compare against after any repair
- Clear leaves from outlets and gutters each autumn
- Check the loft can be reached safely
- Remember the conditions on the day affect the results
Where a pattern can’t be confirmed, the report says what could help, like electronic leak detection or opening up a small area.
Clear outlets and gutters regularly, so water does not sit on the roof. The less water sits, the less can find its way beneath.
