How a thermal roof survey works in Passfield
A thermal survey is not a quick fix for every roof problem. 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. Our report says plainly what the camera picked up and how sure we can be. Where something can’t be confirmed, we say what would help next. We are often asked to look into thin or uneven insulation in the roof and wet areas near outlets and upstands, on insulated roof spaces, pitched roof slopes and flat roofs.
In a small place like Passfield, open ground can mean strong wind. Strong wind or heavy rain stops a small drone flying, and calm conditions also suit thermal imaging best. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. A change in the forecast can mean moving the visit to another day.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later.

How the survey works
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Rural addresses near Passfield can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- 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.
- We inspect the roof and take thermal images during the same visit.
- We back up the thermal patterns with moisture readings.
- You get the report the same day, with an in-person consultation to follow.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
Arrange a survey

Flying and imaging in Passfield
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Where a roof is steep, tall or hard to see from the ground, drone photos and thermal images add detail. Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
For any home in Passfield, it is the small, early fault that is cheapest to put right.

Practical tips
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Note where damp appears and after what weather
- Take photos of stains as they appear, so we can compare
- File the images with your roof records
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
If the images suggest moisture that cannot be confirmed, we will say what would help next, such as electronic leak detection or opening up a small area.
After repairs or a new covering, a later survey can confirm things are dry, when the conditions are suitable.
FAQs for Passfield
Do you cover smaller places like Passfield?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Is Passfield in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
What happens after the survey?
We email you the written report with photos and recommendations. It’s yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.
Can you check my loft insulation with a thermal camera?
Thermal images can suggest where heat is escaping and where insulation may be missing. The survey isn’t an energy rating or a heat loss calculation, but the report shows where to look more closely.
How much does a thermal roof survey cost?
Our Premium Survey, from £400, includes thermal imaging. You also get an in-person consultation and a 12-month follow-up. For bigger commercial roofs, we quote on size.
Does the report include photos?
Yes. Photos are part of every report, so you can see exactly what each finding refers to.
How soon will I get the report?
Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24–48 hours and Premium reports on the same day. All of them come by email.
When to book a survey in Passfield
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.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
- Heat escaping through the roof
- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
- Leaks far from where the stain appears
Anyone responsible for a site like Mill Chase Academy will know that big roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images show the most at once.
Choosing a roof surveyor

What we look for on each type of roof
GRP fibreglass roofs
Water can get through cracked GRP into the deck. We combine a visual check of cracks with the thermal images around them.
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
Single-ply PVC, TPO and EPDM roofs are frequently laid over insulation boards. Wet boards can show as temperature differences on the images.
