Thermal roof survey in Nob's Crook
Thermal imaging is a useful tool, but it has limits. It shows surface temperature, and things like sun, shade, reflections and wind all affect the readings. That is why we check findings with moisture readings and a close visual inspection. The report is clear about what the images show and what they do not. Where something can’t be confirmed, we say what would help next. We’re often asked to look into water getting in at parapets and stacks and areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions, across flat roofs, commercial roofs and ceilings below the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Nob's Crook, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you cannot get from ground level. Weather and airspace are checked before the visit. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
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.

What affects the price in Nob's Crook
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
Thermal roof survey starts 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 to let us know when you get in touch
What helps most when you contact us:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- What made you get in touch
- The address and postcode of the property
We survey roofs on any day of the week. To arrange a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Trapped water can harm decks, timbers and ceilings the longer it stays. Surveying sooner gives you more choice about what to do. For older village homes like those around Nob's Crook, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 inc. VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.

Drones, thermal imaging and Nob's Crook roofs
The flight restriction zone around Southampton Airport comes within about 1 mile of Nob's Crook. If the drone is used for your survey, we check the exact boundary for the address before flying. 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 cannot be judged properly from the pavement, and that is where a view from above or a thermal image earns its place.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Colden Common Primary School, big roofs are where photos from the air and thermal images show the most at once. The streets around a church such as Church of the Holy Trinity are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that is where a view by drone or thermal camera helps.

Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Nob's Crook
Is Nob's Crook within the area you cover?
Yes, Nob's Crook is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is my home in Nob's Crook listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
What will the report tell me?
Written findings with photographs, explaining the condition of the roof, any defects and our recommendations, by urgency where it matters. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check; Premium adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies and structural analysis.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and details are available on request.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so we need permission from the building owner or managing agent. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
What do I do with the report?
You receive the written report by email, with photos and recommendations. You can use it to talk to a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent, whichever applies.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes, every report has them. Pictures sit next to the findings they show, which makes the report easy to follow.
How the survey changes by roof type
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.
Parapets, valleys and junctions
Water often gets in where roofs meet walls, parapets or valley gutters. The camera can help show damp around these junctions.
What happens on the day
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes about one to two hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. Somewhere like Nob's Crook needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- You let us know about the roof and any damp, leaks or cold rooms.
- We check the conditions and note how they may affect the images.
- A full inspection and thermal imaging are carried out together.
- Moisture readings are used to check what the camera shows.
- The Premium report reaches you the same day, and we go through it with you in person.
Preparing for the visit
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at

Advice
When to book a survey in Nob's Crook
Some defects simply can’t be seen with the eye. Trapped moisture, missing insulation and hidden heat loss are three examples. A thermal camera adds another way of finding them.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Water getting in at parapets and stacks
- Leaks far from where the stain appears
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
- Missing or slipped insulation
South Stoneham House lies about 4.6 miles south-west, so building around Nob's Crook goes back a long way. A drone or thermal survey doesn’t involve any work on the roof, which suits older buildings.
What to check before booking
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- What happens after the report arrives
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
