Quarley Thermal Roof Survey
Thermal roof surveys around Quarley, with findings in writing and pictures to back them up. Book a weekday or weekend visit.
- Damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys
- Cold spots on ceilings under the roof
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
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. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.

How a thermal roof survey works in Quarley
A thermal imaging roof survey uses a thermal camera to show differences in surface temperature across a roof. Those patterns can point to trapped moisture, missing insulation or heat escaping. The camera does not see water itself, so we check what it shows with moisture readings. It comes as part of our Premium Survey, from £400. Conditions on the day affect the results, and the report explains how. We survey insulated roof spaces, loft conversions and flat roofs, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are leaks that are hard to trace and thin or uneven insulation in the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Quarley are listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on the roof, so it is a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof, before anyone decides what work it needs. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
Where we cannot see part of the roof, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

What we look for on each type of roof
Loft insulation
From inside the loft, thermal imaging can show gaps in insulation and cold spots. We inspect the loft where it can be reached safely.
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
On larger commercial single-ply roofs, thermal imaging can help target moisture readings. That makes the survey more focused.
The survey, step by step
You do not need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll take it from there. A typical survey takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Quarley frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- 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.
- The Premium report reaches you the same day, and we go through it with you in person.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Tell us about parking before the day
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

Common questions in Quarley
Is Quarley within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How do I find out if my home in Quarley is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Will thermal imaging find my leak?
It is a useful tool for tracing leaks, but not the only one. The results depend on conditions on the day. If the source cannot be confirmed, we will say what could help next, such as electronic leak detection.
What will the report tell me?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, backed by photos. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, so you know exactly what was covered.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
What do I do with the report?
We email you the written report with photographs and recommendations. You can use it to talk to a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent, whichever applies.
Thermal roof surveys in Quarley: 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 the ground, which is where aerial photos and thermal images help. If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
In and around Quarley, as anywhere, a roof is easiest to deal with when its problems are found early. If you live in an older home near Church of St Michael, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that’s where a view by drone or thermal camera helps.

What a survey costs
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Roof area
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.
Helping us price your survey
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- The kind of building and roof involved
Unsure which package suits your roof? The easiest way is to phone 07833 053749 or email us and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We’ll talk you through the options and what they cost.

For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out in order of urgency where relevant, which helps with budgets and planning.
What this survey can’t tell you
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Keep these in mind:
- Reliable images in rain, strong wind or on a wet roof surface
- A formal energy assessment
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll point you to the right survey before booking. What our survey covers.
