Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in North Fareham
Our Premium Survey, from £400, brings together a full roof inspection and thermal imaging. You also get a drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and a report on the same day. An in-person consultation and a 12-month follow-up are included too. To book, just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you’ve noticed. For big commercial roofs, we quote on size and access. We survey flat roofs, pitched roof slopes and insulated roof spaces, and common reasons people get in touch are missing or slipped insulation and areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions.
Some older homes in villages like North Fareham are listed or in a conservation area. A look from above or with a thermal imager does not touch the roof, so it is a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

How we price thermal roof surveys
All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
All our prices include VAT. Prices start from £400, including VAT. We confirm the price for the job before booking.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Dates you’re working to, like exchange
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- What’s prompted the survey
Our phone lines are open seven days a week. To book or ask a question, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Tips from our surveys
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Heat the home normally on the days before
- Photograph damp patches with the date
- Check from ground level or a window, never by climbing
- Clear a path to the loft hatch before we arrive
Buyers can use the findings when talking to the seller or agent. It’s your decision how to use it, whether you ask for work before completion or discuss the price.
After repairs or a new covering, a later survey can confirm things are dry, when the conditions are suitable.
Thermal roof surveys in North Fareham: local notes
North Fareham lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof surface and little wind, so the date is chosen with the forecast in mind. If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
If you run a business near Fareham Shopping Centre, a commercial roof can be photographed from above without anyone walking on it. Take an older house close to Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul: steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that is where a view from above or with a thermal imager helps.
North Fareham is about 1 mile north-east of Fareham, in Hampshire. Anywhere in North Fareham, we can carry out thermal roof surveys at your property. North Fareham is one of the towns and villages in Hampshire we cover for thermal roof surveys. For surveys nearby, see our Portsmouth page.

What’s near North Fareham

DIY checks: what’s safe
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.
How the survey changes by roof type
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
On big single-ply roofs, the camera helps show where to take readings. That makes the survey more focused.
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
These coverings sit directly on the layers beneath, so temperature differences often show through. Any patterns are checked with moisture readings.

North Fareham questions
Do you cover North Fareham?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and North Fareham is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Do you cover smaller places like North Fareham?
Yes, North Fareham is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
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 is warm inside and cold outside. Where we can reach the loft safely, we check there too.
What does a thermal roof survey show?
A thermal camera shows differences in surface temperature. Those patterns can point to trapped moisture, missing insulation or heat loss. We check what it shows with moisture readings.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
How the survey works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. Somewhere as small as North Fareham, access is frequently the only tricky part. 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.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe positions.
- Thermal images are taken across the roof and, where there’s safe access, in the loft.
- Patterns that stand out are checked with moisture readings.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
Preparing for the visit
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

Common roof problems in North Fareham
Building owners and managing agents use thermal surveys to plan work on larger flat roofs. Patterns can point to wet areas and show which parts look sound, so we know where to take moisture readings.
People normally book a survey when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
- Thin or uneven insulation in the roof
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
If you look after a building such as Harrison Primary School, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.
What to check before booking
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- What exactly goes into their report
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
