Why it’s worth a survey now in Mount Pleasant
Heat lost through a roof costs money every winter. Thermal images can show where insulation is missing or has slipped, so you know where to put things right. In a place like Mount Pleasant, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. You will know the price for the job before booking.
Why book with us
- An independent view of the roof
- Prices that include VAT
- Surveys seven days a week
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
How a thermal roof survey works in Mount Pleasant
A thermal survey can point to places where heat is escaping through the roof. Missing or slipped insulation and gaps at the eaves often show up as temperature differences. It works best when the building is heated and it is colder outside. Our report points out what the images suggest and where to look more closely. We don’t give energy ratings or heat loss calculations. We survey commercial roofs, pitched roof slopes and ceilings below the roof, and common reasons people get in touch are leaks far from where the stain appears and areas of a flat roof that may hold water.
Villages like Mount Pleasant often 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. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. A change in the forecast can mean moving the visit to another day.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

Landlords, agents and building managers in Mount Pleasant and across Hampshire can book any of our surveys. For a price for a let property or a block, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
DIY checks: what’s safe
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
What happens on the day
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Older rural homes like those around Mount Pleasant can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- We go through the roof, the problem and the weather expected on the day.
- 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
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Let us know where we can park nearby
Getting a price
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or email us and give us a few details about the property and we will suggest the right survey. The price is agreed up front.

Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Mount Pleasant
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Mount Pleasant?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you cover Mount Pleasant?
Yes, Mount Pleasant 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, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. Surveys run seven days a week.
Which survey includes thermal imaging?
It comes with our Premium Survey, which starts from £400. The Premium Survey also covers a full inspection, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and a report on the same day.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and visible signs such as sagging are noted, but we don’t provide calculations or an engineer’s opinion. If one is needed, the report says so.
What will the report tell me?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos, and ends with what we recommend. Points are put in order of urgency where relevant.
Airspace, weather and Mount Pleasant roofs
Mount Pleasant is within about 3 miles of the coast, and wind off the sea can be strong. Clear thermal results need a dry roof and little wind after a sunny day, so the date depends on the forecast. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Older coverings on steep or tall roofs are hard to judge from below, so close-up photos from the air and thermal images help.
If you look after a building such as Priestlands School, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it. For any home in Mount Pleasant, it’s the small, early fault that is cheapest to put right.
