Thermal imaging roof survey in Monxton, Hampshire
Know where you stand with the roof before you decide what to do next. We carry out thermal roof surveys in Monxton.
- Heat escaping through the roof
- Wet areas near outlets and upstands
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
Thermal roof survey in Monxton: what you get
Flat roofs over extensions, garages, flats and commercial buildings are where thermal imaging frequently helps most. It can show patterns that point to trapped moisture under the membrane. Pitched roofs with slates or tiles are frequently harder to read, because of the air space beneath, so we combine the camera with an inspection from the loft where there’s safe access. If you’re worried about areas of a flat roof that may hold water and gaps in loft insulation, we can find out what’s behind it, on loft conversions, ceilings below the roof and pitched roof slopes alike.
In a small place like Monxton, open ground can mean strong wind. A small drone cannot fly safely in high 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. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
Common questions in Monxton
Do you carry out roof surveys in Monxton?
Yes. We work right across London and the South East, and Monxton is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Monxton?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
What can thermal imaging tell me about my roof?
The images show how warm or cool each part of the surface is. Differences can suggest wet areas, missing insulation or heat loss, which we then check with moisture readings.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access, while outside access can be discussed when you book.
How long is the visit?
It normally takes about one to two hours at most homes, or half a day or so for a commercial building. The written report follows by email.
Is thermal imaging included in your surveys?
It comes with our Premium Survey, which starts from £400. That also includes a full inspection, a drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and a same-day report.
How it works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. It typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. Older rural homes like those around Monxton can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- 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.
- We take thermal images of the roof to pick up temperature patterns.
- We check the patterns that stand out with moisture readings where there is safe access.
- You get a report with thermal images, photographs and our recommendations.
Before the survey
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
Booking a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine. To get started, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Practical tips
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Do not switch the heating off ahead of the visit
- Do not climb onto the roof to look for leaks yourself
- Keep dated photos of any marks on ceilings
- Use the report as a baseline for later checks
If you’re buying, the report gives you specific points to raise with the seller or agent. What you do with it is up to you, whether that is asking for work or discussing the price.
Keep an eye on ceilings under the roof for new stains. Catching a leak early stops insulation getting soaked.

Loft insulation
From inside the loft, thermal imaging can show gaps in insulation and cold spots. We look where there is safe access.
GRP fibreglass roofs
Water can get through cracked GRP into the deck. We combine a visual check of cracks with the thermal images around them.
What affects the cost of thermal roof surveys
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- The roof’s overall size
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
Prices start from £400, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we’ll tell you which fits.
What we need to know
There is no need for technical words. Just let us know:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
If you’re buying, it’s useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.
Thermal roof surveys around Monxton
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. 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. If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Mary, 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. Take a building like Amport Church of England Primary School: big roofs are where photos from the air and thermal images show the most at once.
