Thermal imaging roof survey in Salters Heath, Hampshire
Find out the condition of the roof at your property in Salters Heath. We visit on weekdays and at weekends.
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
- Thin or uneven insulation in the roof
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
The survey, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. A typical visit takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Older rural homes like those around Salters Heath can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We go through the roof, the problem and the weather expected on the day.
- 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.
- Each image is set beside a normal photo and explained in the report.
Before we arrive
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Tell us where we can park nearby

Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Salters Heath
On a flat roof, wet insulation holds heat longer than dry insulation. So a wet patch can show as a warmer or cooler area on the camera. It helps us see how far water may have spread under the covering, which is hard to judge by eye. We then check those areas with moisture readings. If you’re worried about patches of heat loss across the roof and gaps in loft insulation, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Salters Heath are listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on 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.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Salters Heath: your questions answered
Is my home in Salters Heath listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is Salters Heath within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Is thermal imaging good for finding leaks?
It frequently helps show where to look. Water can travel under a covering before it shows inside, and temperature patterns can help follow it. It’s used alongside a close inspection and moisture readings because the camera can’t confirm water on its own.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
What’s the best way to book?
It is easiest to ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. Surveys run on any day of the week.
What will the report tell me?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, backed by photographs. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Salters Heath

No survey can tell you everything, and it’s better to know them up front. Keep these in mind:
- Hidden layers that need to be opened up to check
- Reliable images in rain, strong wind or on a wet roof surface
- Insulation values or heat loss calculations

Leave it or get it looked at?
Repeated repairs that do not stop a leak are a sign the source hasn’t been traced. Combining the camera with moisture readings can help find it, rather than more guesswork. Older and listed buildings around Salters Heath may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, with VAT included. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. You will know the exact price before booking.

What we look for on each type of roof
Loft insulation
The difference is clearest when the home is heated and it’s cold out. Our report notes how the conditions affected the images.
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
Built-up felt and asphalt roofs can hide trapped water for a long time. The camera can give clues to where it’s sitting, when the conditions allow.
Thermal roof surveys around Salters Heath
If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Older coverings on steep or tall roofs are hard to judge from below, so close-up close-up aerial shots and thermal images help.
Historic houses like The Vyne, about 1.5 miles south-east, show how far back building around Salters Heath goes. A drone or thermal survey does not involve any work on the roof, which suits older buildings. For businesses in and around places such as The Malls, thermal images can show trapped moisture across a wide commercial roof. For an older house near a landmark like Pamber Priory, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image.
