Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Morestead
A thermal survey is not a quick fix for every roof problem. It shows surface temperature, and things like sun, shade, reflections and wind all affect the readings. We back up the images with moisture readings and a careful look at the roof. Our report says plainly what the camera picked up and how sure we can be. Where something cannot be confirmed, we say what would help next. We are often asked to look into moisture around outlets and upstands and cold spots on ceilings under the roof, across pitched roof slopes, flat roofs and commercial roofs.
Villages like Morestead frequently stand in open country, where wind can be strong. A small drone can’t 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. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
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 it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Why act early in Morestead
Heat lost through a roof costs money every winter. The camera can point to gaps and thin areas in the insulation, so you know where to put things right. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Morestead, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

Thermal roof surveys in Morestead: local notes
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand. 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. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these.
Whatever the street in Morestead, a roof costs least to look after when faults are caught early. If you live in an older home near Morestead Church, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.
Morestead is about 3 miles south-east of Winchester, in Hampshire. From houses to flats and shops in Morestead, the roof can be surveyed. We cover towns and villages across Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Southampton.

What a survey costs
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Height and safe access
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- The size of the roof
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Getting in touch
We’ll normally ask about:
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
We confirm the price for the job before you book, so you know where you stand. Our price is from £400, including VAT. To book, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Morestead
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, from shops and offices to industrial units. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
We survey roofs for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the roof, useful for planning maintenance.
What a thermal roof survey does not cover
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- What’s inside walls or under coverings, without opening up
- Clear results when the conditions on the day are poor
- Proving moisture from the images alone
If you’re not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will give you a straight answer before booking. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

Roof by roof
Loft insulation
Heat loss shows most clearly when it is warm inside and colder outside. We explain in the report how the conditions on the day affected what we saw.
Pitched slate and tile roofs
From inside the loft, the camera can help with damp around chimneys, valleys and roof windows. Findings are checked with moisture readings.

What else we do in Morestead
How it works
The aim of the visit is simple: 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. The visit typically takes about 1–2 hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Morestead frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe positions.
- 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.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of

Advice
FAQs for Morestead
Is my home in Morestead listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you cover smaller places like Morestead?
Yes, Morestead is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Will the camera show exactly where the water is?
Thermal imaging shows temperature rather than water. Because wet insulation holds heat for longer, it can show as a different temperature, and moisture readings are used to check it.
What conditions are best for thermal imaging?
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.
Can a thermal survey trace a roof leak?
It often helps show where to look. Patterns can suggest where trapped water has spread. It’s used alongside a close inspection and moisture readings because the camera cannot confirm water on its own.
Which survey includes thermal imaging?
It’s part of the Premium Survey, from £400. You also get an in-person consultation and a 12-month follow-up. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Let us know about it when booking and we’ll plan the survey around it.
