Thermal roof survey in Picket Twenty: what you get
Thermal imaging is part of our Premium Survey, which starts from £400. It also includes a drone inspection where it applies, a structural analysis and a same-day report. An in-person consultation and a 12-month follow-up are included too. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a note of what you’ve noticed. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size. If you’re worried about heat escaping through the roof and damp around chimneys and parapets, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Villages like Picket Twenty often stand in open country, where wind can be strong. Strong wind or a downpour 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.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

- Pitched roof slopes
Why it’s worth a survey now in Picket Twenty
Wet insulation under a flat roof doesn’t dry out on its own while the covering stays on. Over time, it insulates less well and can harm the deck. Finding them early can mean a smaller job. For older village homes like those around Picket Twenty, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

What we do, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes between one and two hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Cottages and farmhouses around Picket Twenty often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- We start with the roof, its history and any signs of damp or heat loss.
- We check the conditions and note how they may affect the images.
- A full inspection and thermal imaging are carried out together.
- Moisture readings are used to check what the camera shows.
- You get the report the same day, with an in-person consultation to follow.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

Before and after the survey
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Take photos of stains as they appear, so we can compare
- Check outlets after heavy rain
- Use the report as a baseline for later checks
- Clear a path to the loft hatch before we arrive
We note the weather and surface conditions, and how they may have affected the results. It helps you judge how firm each finding is.
Deal with small splits and lifted seams promptly. Water that gets under a covering can spread a long way before it shows.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Picket Twenty
Do you carry out roof surveys in Picket Twenty?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Picket Twenty is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details.
Is Picket Twenty within the area you cover?
Yes, Picket Twenty is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
How long does the survey take?
Expect it to take roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. You’ll then get the report by email.
Can you use a thermal camera on a sloping roof?
It can help, but the results are often less clear than on a flat roof. Slates and tiles over a ventilated space can mask what’s below, so we also look from the loft where it is safe.
What conditions are best for thermal imaging?
The results depend on the weather. A dry surface, little wind and a sunny spell beforehand help most. We record the conditions in the report, so you know how much weight to give the images.
Will the survey show heat loss through my roof?
It can show temperature patterns that point to missing or thin insulation. It shows most clearly when it is warm inside and cold outside. We look from the loft as well, where there is safe access.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and visible signs like sagging are noted, but we do not provide calculations or an engineer’s opinion. If one is needed, the report says so.
Flying and imaging in Picket Twenty
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these.
If you run a hotel or guest house in or near Picket Twenty, a roof problem can mean rooms out of use, so it pays to find faults before guests do. Take a building like Pilgrims' Cross CofE Aided Primary School: a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit. The streets around a church such as United Reformed Church are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image.
