Thermal Roof Survey in Puckpool
Thermal imaging to find moisture and heat loss patterns in a roof across Puckpool, using drones and thermal imaging where it applies. Call or email for a price.
- Leaks far from where the stain appears
- Missing or slipped insulation
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
Different roofs, different checks
Pitched slate and tile roofs
Slate and tile roofs are frequently harder to read with a thermal camera, because of the air space beneath. We back up what the camera shows with a look in the loft where we can.
Parapets, valleys and junctions
Parapet and valley gutters can overflow inside a building. We use the camera and moisture readings to help follow it.
Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Puckpool
Our Premium Survey, from £400, brings together a full roof inspection and thermal imaging. You also get a drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and a report on the same day. An in-person consultation and a 12-month follow-up are included too. To book, just ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you’ve noticed. For big commercial roofs, we quote on size and access. If you’re worried about water that travels before it shows and areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions, we can find out what’s behind it, on commercial roofs, pitched roof slopes and flat roofs alike.
Some older homes in villages like Puckpool are listed or in a conservation area. A look from above or with a thermal imager doesn’t touch the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Thermal roof surveys around Puckpool
Puckpool is within about 1 mile of the coast, and coastal wind can be strong. Clear thermal results need a dry roof and little wind after a sunny day, so the date depends on the forecast. Some villages on the Isle of Wight still have thatched roofs, and the whole island is open to sea air and wind. Many roofs like these cannot be judged properly from the pavement, and that is where a view from above or a thermal image earns its place.
If you live in an older home near St John's Church, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement. If you run a hotel or guest house in or near Puckpool, a roof problem can mean rooms out of use, so it pays to find faults before guests do. Nunwell House, about 3.1 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Puckpool. For older roofs nearby, a look from above or with a thermal imager is a hands-off way to check condition.

Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Puckpool
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Puckpool?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Do you cover smaller places like Puckpool?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
What can thermal imaging tell me about my roof?
The camera records how the surface temperature varies. Those patterns can point to trapped moisture, missing insulation or heat loss. Findings are checked with moisture readings.
Will I get photos?
Yes, every report has them. Each finding is shown in a picture where possible, so you can see what we mean.
Can you check my loft insulation with a thermal camera?
It can show temperature patterns that point to missing or thin insulation. It shows most clearly when it is warm inside and cold outside. Where we can reach the loft safely, we check there too.
How long does the survey take?
Most surveys take an hour or two for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. We will confirm the timing as you book.
Is thermal imaging good for finding leaks?
It often helps show where to look. Patterns can suggest where trapped water has spread. It is used alongside a close inspection and moisture readings because the camera cannot confirm water on its own.
What affects the price in Puckpool
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- The roof’s overall size
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Which survey package you book
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £400, including VAT.
Booking your survey
Some details help us recommend the right survey and price. When you contact us, tell us:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
Not sure which survey you need? It is easiest to ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We will explain the options and the price.
Why get it checked now?
Trapped water can harm decks, timbers and ceilings the longer it stays. Looking now, while the damage may still be limited, keeps more options open. Older cottages and farmhouses around Puckpool can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all inc. VAT. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

Tips that help
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Ask us about the forecast if rain is expected
- Tell us where and when you’ve seen damp or stains
- Keep outlets and gutters clear to stop water sitting
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
We note the weather and surface conditions, and how they may have affected the results. That way you know how much weight to give each finding.
Clear outlets and gutters regularly, so water does not sit on the roof. The less water sits, the less can find its way beneath.

The survey, step by step
We’ll ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. Cottages and farmhouses around Puckpool frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- 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.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets in another room
- Let us know where we can park nearby
