About our thermal roof survey in Mislingford
Thermal imaging is a useful tool, but it has limits. Sun, shade, reflective surfaces and wind can all change what the camera shows. We back up the images with moisture readings and a careful look at the roof. The report is clear about what the images show and what they don’t. If a finding cannot be confirmed, the report suggests a next step. We are often asked to look into patches of heat loss across the roof and water getting in at parapets and stacks, on loft conversions, insulated roof spaces and commercial roofs.
In a village or hamlet like Mislingford, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what can’t be reached safely. Weather and airspace are looked at ahead of the visit. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photographs show what each point refers to.

Airspace, weather and Mislingford roofs
If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so check with the council.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Swanmore College of Technology, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof. In and around Mislingford, as anywhere, a roof is easiest to deal with when its problems are found early.
Mislingford is about 5 miles north of Fareham, in Hampshire. Anywhere in Mislingford, we can come and survey your property, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday. Across Hampshire, we cover Mislingford. We also survey roofs in Portsmouth.

What happens on the day
We do not take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. Most visits take between one and two hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. For a village or hamlet like Mislingford, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect what can safely be seen, inside and out.
- We start by discussing the roof, any signs of damp and how the weather may affect the images.
- We check the roof from the ground, from windows and from the roof itself where it is safe.
- A thermal camera records how the surface temperature varies across the roof.
- Areas that look unusual on the camera are checked with moisture readings where possible.
- You get a report with thermal images, photos and our recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Let us know about parking near the property

Advice
Why get it checked now?
A poorly insulated roof loses heat year after year. The camera can point to gaps and thin areas in the insulation, so you know where to put things right. Older cottages and farmhouses around Mislingford 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.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 with VAT included. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.

What we look for on each type of roof
Parapets, valleys and junctions
When valley or parapet gutters overflow, water can get into walls and ceilings. Thermal images, checked with moisture readings, can help trace it.
Pitched slate and tile roofs
Even on pitched roofs, the camera can point to heat loss and some damp. We explain what can and cannot be read from them.
Mislingford: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Mislingford?
Yes, Mislingford is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Mislingford?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Mislingford as anywhere else.
Are you structural engineers?
No. Visible signs like deflection or sagging are recorded, but calculations and an engineer’s opinion are outside what we do. The report will say if you need an engineer.
Can you use a thermal camera on a sloping roof?
It can help, but the results are frequently less clear than on a flat roof. The air space under slates and tiles can hide patterns, so we also look from the loft where it’s safe.
How much does a thermal roof survey cost?
Our Premium Survey, from £400, includes thermal imaging. An in-person consultation and a follow-up 12 months later are included too. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We look at everything that can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
How does a thermal imaging roof survey work?
A thermal camera shows differences in surface temperature. The patterns can suggest wet insulation, gaps in insulation or heat escaping. We check what it shows with moisture readings.
For landlords and managing agents
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. We survey on any day of the week, which can make access easier.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work around your tenants.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
A lot can be seen from the ground. 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.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Tips that help
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Use the report as a baseline for later checks
- Clear leaves from outlets and gutters each autumn
- Photograph damp patches with the date
- Check from the ground or a window, never by climbing
You can pass the report to a roofer so they can see where the problem areas seem to be. Because the images are paired with photos, it’s easy to find each area on the roof.
Keep an eye on ceilings under the roof for new stains. Early action keeps insulation from staying wet.
