Thermal imaging roof survey in Mockbeggar, Hampshire
Find out the condition of the roof at your property in Mockbeggar from an independent roof surveyor. We visit on weekdays and at weekends.
- Leaks far from where the stain appears
- Damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys
- Heat escaping through the roof
DIY checks: what’s safe
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Mockbeggar
Thermal imaging is frequently most useful on flat roofs, from small extensions to large commercial roofs. It can show patterns that point to trapped moisture under the membrane. On pitched roofs, slates and tiles over a ventilated space can hide what’s below, so we combine the camera with an inspection from the loft where there’s safe access. We survey ceilings below the roof, flat roofs and pitched roof slopes, and the problems we are asked to look at most are damp around chimneys and parapets and moisture around outlets and upstands.
Older buildings in small places like Mockbeggar may be listed or in a conservation area. A look from above or with a thermal imager does not touch the roof, so it is a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof, before anyone decides what work it needs. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
It isn’t only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

What we’re asked to look at in Mockbeggar
After a repair, some owners want to know whether the roof has dried out. A thermal survey with moisture readings can show whether wet areas remain when the conditions on the day are suitable.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
- Gaps in loft insulation
- Leaks far from where the stain appears
- Damp around chimneys and parapets
Around Mockbeggar, as everywhere, small roof faults are simplest to sort before they let water in.
What to check before booking
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- What experience they bring
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report

Why get it checked now?
Trapped water can harm decks, timbers and ceilings the longer it stays. Looking now, while the damage may still be limited, keeps more options open. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Prices start from £400, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

What we do, step by step
The visit has one job: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It normally takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. In a hamlet or village like Mockbeggar, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
Getting a price

Mockbeggar: your questions answered
Is my home in Mockbeggar listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you cover smaller places like Mockbeggar?
Yes, Mockbeggar is covered. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Can you use a thermal camera on a sloping roof?
It can show heat loss and some damp, but it has more limits there. We explain what the images can and cannot tell you, and back them up with a visual inspection and moisture readings.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
How quickly is the report sent?
Each package has its own report time. Basic: within 48 hours. Standard: 24 to 48 hours. Premium: the same day. If you have a deadline, such as an exchange date, let us know when you book.
Does the weather affect a thermal survey?
Conditions on the day have a big effect on what the camera can show. Dry, calm weather after some sun gives the best chance of clear images. Our report notes the conditions and how they affected the findings.
Prices for thermal roof surveys in Mockbeggar
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- Roof area
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Which survey package you book
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Booking your survey
These details help when you contact us:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- What’s prompted the survey
- Anything about access we should know
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or email us and we will ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Mockbeggar
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. We survey seven days a week, which can make access easier.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
Flying and imaging in Mockbeggar
Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Many roofs like these can’t be judged properly from the pavement, and that’s where a view from above or a thermal image earns its place.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Martins are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image.
