Thermal roof survey in Palestine: what you get
Thermal imaging works best in the right conditions. It is useful to have a sunny day beforehand, a dry surface and calm air. Rain, a strong wind or heavy cloud can make the images less clear. We talk through the forecast when you book, and the report explains how the conditions on the day affected the results. We are often asked to look into damp around roof outlets and upstands and wet insulation beneath the membrane, across pitched roof slopes, flat roofs and commercial roofs.
Somewhere as small as Palestine, older roofs are often steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you can’t get from the ground. Weather and airspace are checked ahead of the visit, and the journey is planned beforehand. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Common questions in Palestine
Do you carry out roof surveys in Palestine?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Palestine is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the property.
How do I find out if my home in Palestine is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Will the survey show heat loss through my roof?
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’s safe access.
What does a thermal roof survey show?
The camera records how the surface temperature varies. Those patterns can point to trapped moisture, missing insulation or heat loss. We check what it shows with moisture readings.
What conditions are best for thermal imaging?
The weather makes a real difference. A sunny day beforehand, a dry surface and calm air all help. Rain and strong wind can make the images less clear, so we discuss the forecast when booking.
How do I arrange a thermal roof survey in Palestine?
It’s easiest to call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we’ll suggest the right survey. We survey on weekdays and at weekends.
Will I get photos?
Yes. We photograph the roof as we go, and the report uses them to show each finding alongside our recommendations.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which helps when tenants work during the week.
If you own several properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To discuss a number of properties, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Practical tips
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Use the report as a baseline for later checks
- Photograph damp patches with the date
- Talk to us about the weather when booking
- Keep the heating on as usual before a heat loss survey
Buyers can use the findings when talking to the seller or agent. It is your decision how to use it, whether that is asking for work or discussing the price.
Check that loft insulation is laid evenly and hasn’t been pushed aside. Insulation is often moved when people work in the loft space.
Roof by roof
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
On larger commercial single-ply roofs, thermal imaging can help target moisture readings. That makes the survey more focused.
GRP fibreglass roofs
Cracks in GRP can let water into the boards beneath. We combine a visual check of cracks with the thermal images around them.
Common roof problems in Palestine
Some defects simply can’t be seen with the eye. Wet insulation, gaps in insulation and heat loss are often invisible from outside. Thermal imaging gives us another way to look for them.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
- Leaks that are hard to trace
- Patches of heat loss across the roof
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Grateley Primary School, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- What insurance they carry
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
What happens on the day
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. Most surveys take an hour or two at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. Somewhere like Palestine needs a little journey planning: tell us 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.
- First we go over the roof, the problem you’ve noticed and the conditions forecast for the visit.
- We carry out a visual inspection of the roof from wherever it can be seen safely.
- Thermal images are taken to show differences in surface temperature.
- Areas that look unusual on the camera are checked with moisture readings where possible.
- You get a report with thermal images, photographs and our recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of

Thermal roof surveys in Palestine: local notes
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. Steep or complicated roofs are often hard to see from ground level, which is where photos from the air and thermal images help. With Idmiston Manor about 4.7 miles south-west, Palestine sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Leonard are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where photos from the air and thermal images help.

DIY checks: what’s safe
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey.
