Thermal imaging roof survey in Nether Wallop, Hampshire
A careful look at the roof at your property in Nether Wallop, with photos and a written report.
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
- Thin or uneven insulation in the roof
- Leaks far from where the stain appears
Common roof problems in Nether Wallop
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.
Problems we come across often include:
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
- Water getting in at parapets and stacks
- Missing or slipped insulation
- Leaks far from where the stain appears
Take a building like Wallop Primary School: a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.
What to check before booking
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
How a thermal roof survey works in Nether Wallop
Thermal imaging is useful when a damp patch has no clear cause. Leaks often run along a roof before they appear on a ceiling, and temperature patterns can help us trace where it may have come from. We combine the images with a visual inspection and moisture readings, so no conclusion rests on one method alone. We’re often asked to look into stains that keep coming back and thin or uneven insulation in the roof, across insulated roof spaces, ceilings below the roof and loft conversions.
In a village or hamlet like Nether Wallop, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you can’t get from ground level. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

What we do, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. Most visits take about one to two hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. In a small place like Nether Wallop, access is normally the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start by discussing the roof, any signs of damp and how the weather may affect the images.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe viewpoints.
- 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.
- The report sets out the images, what they suggest and what we recommend.
How to prepare
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed

Flying and imaging in Nether Wallop
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Where a roof is steep, tall or hard to see from the ground, drone photos and thermal images add detail. If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
Take an older house close to Church of St Andrew: older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help.

What affects the price in Nether Wallop
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see

- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.

Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Nether Wallop
Do you cover Nether Wallop?
Yes, Nether Wallop is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and the South East. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is Nether Wallop within the area you cover?
Yes. Nether Wallop is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
How long will you be at the property?
Expect it to take roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. You will then get the report by email, on the timescale of your package.
Can you check my loft insulation with a thermal camera?
Gaps and thin areas of insulation can show up on the camera. It shows most clearly when it’s warm inside and cold outside. We look from the loft as well, where there is safe access.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
What will the report tell me?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, with photographs throughout. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, so you know exactly what was covered.
Can you do a thermal survey in any weather?
The weather makes a real difference. It works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof surface and little wind. Rain, wind and heavy cloud can weaken the patterns, so we discuss the forecast when booking.
How the survey changes by roof type
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
Water under felt or asphalt can stay hidden for years. Thermal imaging helps suggest where it is, given suitable conditions on the day.
Parapets, valleys and junctions
Damp at junctions can be hard to see by eye. A careful visual inspection goes alongside the images.
