Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Penton Mewsey
What a thermal camera can show depends a lot on the weather. 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 as you book, and our report notes the conditions and how they affected what we saw. If you’ve noticed water that travels before it shows and heat escaping through the roof, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a small place like Penton Mewsey, open ground can mean strong wind. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. The visit is planned around the forecast, along with the journey and access. A change in the forecast can mean moving the visit to another day.
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 the survey works
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. Most surveys take between one and two hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. Older roofs in small places like Penton Mewsey can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- You tell us about the roof and any damp, leaks or cold rooms.
- The weather and surface conditions are recorded.
- We inspect the roof and take thermal images during the same visit.
- We back up the thermal patterns with moisture readings.
- The Premium report reaches you the same day, and we go through it with you in person.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets in another room
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building

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 is used alongside a close inspection and moisture readings because the camera can’t confirm water on its own.

Why act early in Penton Mewsey
Heat lost through a roof costs money every winter. Thermal images can show where insulation is missing or has slipped, so you know where to put things right. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Penton Mewsey, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Our price is from £400, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

What a thermal roof survey looks like in Penton Mewsey
There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask. If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
The streets around a church like Holy Trinity Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that is where a view by drone or thermal camera helps. If you look after a building such as Harrow Way Community School, big roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images show the most at once.

Different roofs, different checks
Loft insulation
In the roof space, the camera can pick up gaps and thin areas of insulation. We look where there is safe access.
Pitched slate and tile roofs
On pitched roofs, slates and tiles over a ventilated space can mask what’s happening underneath. We combine the images with an inspection from the loft where there’s safe access.
What a survey costs
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- House, block, shop or office
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The roof’s overall size
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £400, including VAT.
What we need to know
If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
Our phone lines are open seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Checking the roof from ground level
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That part is for a survey.

Landlords, agents and building managers in Penton Mewsey and across Hampshire can book any of our surveys. For a price for a let property or a block, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
