Thermal imaging roof survey in Rushmoor, Surrey
Thermal imaging to find moisture and heat loss patterns in a roof across Rushmoor, using drones and thermal imaging where applicable. Get in touch for a price.
- Gaps in loft insulation
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
- Damp around chimneys and parapets
What happens on the day
We’ll ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes about one to two hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. In a small place like Rushmoor, access is typically 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.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe positions.
- We take thermal images of the roof and of the loft where we can reach it.
- Patterns that stand out are checked with moisture readings.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
Before the survey
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
Booking a survey
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and give us some details about the property and we will explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

Thermal roof survey in Rushmoor: what you get
Flat roofs over extensions, garages, flats and commercial buildings are where thermal imaging frequently helps most. Patterns can suggest where water is trapped under the covering. On pitched roofs, slates and tiles over a ventilated space can hide what’s below, so we combine the camera with an inspection from the loft where there is safe access. If you’ve noticed thin or uneven insulation in the roof and water that travels before it shows, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Rushmoor are listed or in a conservation area. A look by drone or thermal camera doesn’t touch the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Signs you need a thermal roof survey in Rushmoor
Flat roofs that have leaked for a while can have wet insulation under the covering. Owners want to know how far it has spread before deciding what to do. A thermal survey, checked with moisture readings, can give a much clearer picture.
Look out for signs like these:
- Water that travels before it shows
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
- Gaps in loft insulation
- Patches of heat loss across the roof
Around Rushmoor, as everywhere, small roof faults are simplest to sort before they let water in.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Whether the inside of the roof is included

FAQs for Rushmoor
Will you come out to Rushmoor?
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 you book.
Is Rushmoor in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Rushmoor as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Does thermal imaging detect leaks directly?
Not directly. It shows surface temperature, and wet areas can show up because they hold heat differently. That’s why we check any patterns with moisture readings.
What does the report include?
You get our findings in writing, part by part, with photos, finishing with recommendations. The most urgent items are made clear.
How long is the visit?
It usually takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you as you book.
Is thermal imaging useful on pitched roofs?
It can help, but the results are often less clear than on a flat roof. The air space under slates and tiles can hide patterns, so we combine it with an inspection from the loft where there’s safe access.
What you can safely check yourself
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
For landlords and managing agents
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it when you book and we will plan the survey around it.
Letting agents frequently book on a landlord’s behalf. Access is agreed with the tenant ahead of time.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Without thermal imaging, the only way to see how far water has spread is frequently to open up the roof. That helps you and your roofer decide what really needs replacing. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, including VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both inc. VAT. You will know the price for the job before booking.

How the survey changes by roof type
Loft insulation
Heat loss shows most clearly when it is warm inside and colder outside. We explain in the report how the conditions on the day affected what we saw.
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
Felt and asphalt sit tight to the layers below, which often helps the camera pick up differences. Any patterns are checked with moisture readings.
