Thermal roof survey in Nyewood: what you get
Thermal imaging is useful when a damp patch has no clear cause. Water can travel some distance under a roof covering before it shows inside, and the camera can show patterns that help us follow it. The images are used alongside a visual inspection and moisture readings, so no conclusion rests on one method alone. Common reasons to book are leaks that are hard to trace and damp patches with no obvious cause, across ceilings below the roof, pitched roof slopes and flat roofs.
Some older homes in villages like Nyewood are listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
Most points in the report come with a picture, 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.

How we price thermal roof surveys
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- The roof’s overall size
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
Prices start from £400, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, with VAT included, and we’ll tell you which fits.
Helping us price your survey
Getting the details right at the start saves time. Please include:
- Dates you are working to, like exchange
- The property’s address and postcode
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. For a price or to book, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
When you need someone else
A survey is a proper look at the roof, but it can’t do everything. Its limits include:
- A structural engineer’s assessment
- Clear results when the conditions on the day are poor
- Confirming water without moisture readings
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will point you to the right survey. What our survey covers.

Common questions in Nyewood
How do I find out if my home in Nyewood is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Is Nyewood within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Can thermal imaging show missing insulation?
The camera can point to heat loss and gaps in insulation. We don’t give energy ratings or heat loss calculations, but the report shows where to look more closely.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Tell us about it when you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Is thermal imaging good for finding leaks?
It can help narrow down where water may be getting in. Patterns can suggest where trapped water has spread. It’s used alongside a close inspection and moisture readings because the camera can’t confirm water on its own.
Flying and imaging in Nyewood
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Older coverings on steep or tall roofs are hard to judge from below, so close-up close-up aerial shots and thermal images help. If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
Uppark, about 2.7 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Nyewood. Older roofs nearby can be steep and hard to see from the ground, and a survey from above or with a thermal imager does not touch the roof itself.

What else we do in Nyewood
What we look for on each type of roof
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
On felt and asphalt flat roofs, wet insulation can show as a temperature difference across the surface. Moisture readings are used to check them.
Parapets, valleys and junctions
Damp at junctions can be hard to see by eye. A careful visual inspection goes alongside the images.
How it works
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. After that, we check everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. In a hamlet or village like Nyewood, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We go through the roof, the problem and the weather expected on the day.
- We look over the roof from wherever it is safe.
- 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.
- Each image is set beside a normal photo and explained in the report.
Before the survey
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Leave a clear route to the loft
Getting a price
If you are buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email when you’re ready.
Advice
Common roof problems in Nyewood
Cold rooms under a roof, or high heating bills, lead some people to ask about heat loss. Gaps in loft insulation and poorly insulated roof areas can show up on the camera, particularly when there is a clear difference between inside and outside.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Damp around chimneys and parapets
- Wet areas near outlets and upstands
- Leaks far from where the stain appears
- Heat escaping through the roof
Whatever the street in Nyewood, a roof costs least to look after when faults are caught early.
