Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Odiham
Wet insulation under a flat roof covering holds heat for longer than dry. That means a wet area can show up as a different temperature from the rest of the roof. This can give an idea of how far water has travelled beneath the membrane, something you can’t typically tell from the surface. Moisture readings are then used to check what the camera suggests. If you’ve noticed damp around roof outlets and upstands and water getting in at parapets and stacks, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Even in a smaller place like Odiham, there may be airfields or restrictions nearby, so the Drone Safety Map is checked before any flight. Open ground can mean stronger wind, which also affects whether a small drone can fly, while thermal imaging also works best with little wind. Each flight is planned with neighbours’ privacy in mind, as well as the airspace and the wind.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

What a thermal roof survey does not cover
Every survey has limits, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Keep these in mind:
- Readings unaffected by sun, shade or reflections
- The condition of timbers we cannot see
- Confirming water without moisture readings

What affects the price in Odiham
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- House, block, shop or office
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
All our prices include VAT. Our price is from £400, including VAT. You’ll know the exact price before you book.
What we need to know
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, tell us:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- The address and postcode of the property
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
What happens on the day
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes between one and two hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. Homes around Odiham often have gardens on more than one side, which gives us room to step back and see the roof. Mention any side of the property we can’t get to. Inside, the loft is looked at where it can be reached safely.
- 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.
- We check the patterns that stand out with moisture readings where there is safe access.
- You get a report with thermal images, photos and our recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Make sure pets are kept safely away

Before and after the survey
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Talk to us about the weather when booking
- Photograph damp patches with the date
- Tell us where and when you’ve seen damp or stains
- Clear a path to the loft hatch before we arrive
Premium Surveys include an in-person consultation, so you can go through the images with us. There is a 12-month follow-up too.
Keep outlets and gutters clear so water drains off the roof quickly. The less water sits, the less can find its way beneath.
Questions from Odiham
Do you cover smaller places like Odiham?
Yes, Odiham is covered. We survey roofs across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How do I find out if my home in Odiham 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.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable.
When does the report arrive?
That depends on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. The report is emailed to you.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
How long is the visit?
Time on site depends on the roof, but most surveys take an hour or two for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. The written report follows by email.
How do I book a survey in Odiham?
Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
What else we do in Odiham
Can I check my roof myself?
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Drones, thermal imaging and Odiham roofs
Odiham is about 2 miles from RAF Odiham. Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand.
Take a building like Mayhill Junior School: a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit. For an older house near a landmark such as All Saints Church, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.
Odiham is about 4 miles west of Fleet, in Hampshire. Odiham is part of the area we cover and the surrounding area across London and South East England. Odiham is one of the towns and villages in Hampshire we cover for thermal roof surveys. There’s also a page for Reading.
Surveys in RG29 are booked the same way as anywhere else. If you need a thermal roof survey at a property on Goodchild Square, High Street and London Road or anywhere close by, we can survey it. If you are just outside Odiham, we cover North Warnborough (1 mile north-west), Broad Oak (1 mile north-east), Warnborough Green (1 mile north-west), Greywell (1 mile west) and Hook Common (2 miles north-west). Further out, we also cover Basingstoke (7 miles west), Farnborough (8 miles east), Fleet (4 miles east), Aldershot (8 miles east), Alton (7 miles south) and Yateley (7 miles north-east).
