Thermal imaging roof survey in Rotherwick, Hampshire
Thermal imaging to find moisture and heat loss patterns in a roof across Rotherwick, with drones and thermal imaging where they help. Call or email for a price.
- Leaks far from where the stain appears
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
- Patches of heat loss across the roof
Before and after the survey
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Leave the roof to people with safe access
- Keep a record of when stains appear
- Check the loft can be reached safely
- Check outlets after heavy rain
Buyers can use the findings when talking to the seller or agent. What you do with it is up to you, whether that’s asking for work or discussing the price.
Have small defects in the covering fixed early. Water that gets under a covering can spread a long way before it shows.
About our thermal roof survey in Rotherwick
Our Premium Survey, from £400, brings together a full roof inspection and thermal imaging. It also includes a drone inspection where it applies, a structural analysis and a same-day report. There is an in-person consultation as well, plus a follow-up 12 months later. 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’ve noticed wet areas near outlets and upstands and stains that keep coming back, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on commercial roofs, flat roofs and insulated roof spaces alike.
Villages like Rotherwick frequently stand in open country, where wind can be strong. Strong wind or heavy rain stops a small drone flying, and calm conditions also suit thermal imaging best. 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.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

What else we do in Rotherwick
Honest limits
We only report whatever is safely visible on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- What’s inside walls or under coverings, without opening up
- Insulation values or heat loss calculations
- Confirming water without moisture readings
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will suggest the right survey. What our survey covers.

What affects the price in Rotherwick
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Height and safe access
- How big the roof is
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.
What we need to know
A little information up front helps. It is useful to include:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof

Common questions in Rotherwick
Is Rotherwick within the area you cover?
Yes, Rotherwick is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Rotherwick?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Will the survey show heat loss through my roof?
Gaps and thin areas of insulation can show up on the camera. The difference is clearest when the building is heated and it is colder outside. Where we can reach the loft safely, we check there too.
Will I get photos?
Yes, every report has them. Pictures sit next to the findings they show.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
What we look for on each type of roof
GRP fibreglass roofs
Water under a GRP roof can reach the timber deck. Thermal imaging can suggest where that may be happening.
Pitched slate and tile roofs
Inside the loft space, thermal images can help with damp around stacks, valleys and roof windows. We check any patterns with moisture readings.
How the survey works
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. The survey typically takes between one and two hours for most houses, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In a small place like Rotherwick, access is usually the main thing to plan. 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.
- You let us know about the roof and any damp, leaks or cold rooms.
- We check the conditions and note how they may affect the images.
- We inspect the roof and take thermal images during the same visit.
- 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
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Tell us where we can park nearby
Booking a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Drones, thermal imaging and Rotherwick roofs
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these. If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
If you look after a building such as Whitewater Church of England Primary School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof. For an older house near a landmark such as Rotherwick Church, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help. Stratfield Saye House lies about 3.2 miles north, so building around Rotherwick goes back a long way. A drone or thermal survey doesn’t involve any work on the roof, which suits older buildings.
