Thermal roof surveys around Red Post Bridge
Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. 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 ground level, which is where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Mary are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement. Take a building like John Hanson Community School: a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.

How a thermal roof survey works in Red Post Bridge
A thermal survey can point to places where heat is escaping through the roof. Missing or slipped insulation and gaps at the eaves often show up as temperature differences. The difference shows most clearly when it’s warm inside and cold outside. The report shows the images and explains what they may mean. We do not give energy ratings or heat loss calculations. If you are worried about stains that keep coming back and cold spots on ceilings under the roof, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a village or hamlet like Red Post Bridge, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what can’t be reached safely. Weather and airspace are checked before the visit. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
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 it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Tips that help
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Clear a path to the loft hatch before we arrive
- Ask us about the forecast if rain is expected
- Keep outlets and gutters clear to stop water sitting
- Let us know where and when you’ve seen damp or stains
You can pass the report to a roofer so they can see where the problem areas seem to be. Each thermal image is matched to a normal photo, so the areas are easy to locate.
Keep an eye on ceilings under the roof for new stains. Catching a leak early stops insulation getting soaked.
How it works
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. Most surveys take an hour or two for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. Somewhere as small as Red Post Bridge, access is frequently the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First we go over the roof, the problem you’ve noticed and the conditions forecast for the visit.
- We look at the roof from the ground, from windows and from the roof itself where it’s safe.
- We take thermal images of the roof to pick up temperature patterns.
- Any patterns of interest are checked with moisture readings where we can reach them.
- We write up the thermal images alongside ordinary photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building

Why it is worth a survey now in Red Post Bridge
Thermal images can suggest the extent of wet areas without cutting into the roof. It helps when deciding whether to patch an area or replace the roof. Older and listed buildings around Red Post Bridge may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.

What affects the cost of thermal roof surveys
Our packages start from £150, with VAT included. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- The shape of the roof and its details
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Thermal roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
Getting in touch
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- When you need the report by
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Can I check my roof myself?
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.

Red Post Bridge: your questions answered
Will you come out to Red Post Bridge?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
How do I find out if my home in Red Post Bridge is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
What’s the best way to book?
It is easiest to phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and some details about the roof. We survey seven days a week.
Does the weather affect a thermal survey?
The weather makes a real difference. A sunny day beforehand, a dry surface and calm air all help. Rain and strong wind can make the images less clear, so we talk through the forecast as you book.
How many surveys have you done?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
What’s in the survey report?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, with photographs throughout. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too, so you know exactly what was covered.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
