Segensworth Thermal Roof Survey
Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Segensworth. We have completed more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
- Damp around roof outlets and upstands
- Cold spots on ceilings under the roof
- Gaps in loft insulation
DIY checks: what’s safe
It’s useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
About our thermal roof survey in Segensworth
A thermal camera can help when the cause of damp isn’t obvious. Leaks often run along a roof before they appear on a ceiling, and temperature patterns can help us trace where it may have come from. The images are used alongside a visual inspection and moisture readings, so the findings don’t rely on the camera alone. We survey commercial roofs, ceilings below the roof and pitched roof slopes, and common reasons people get in touch are cold spots on ceilings under the roof and damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys.
Villages like Segensworth often 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. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. A change in the forecast can mean moving the visit to another day.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photograph. You will see the good as well as the bad.

What a survey costs

- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, which starts from £400, including VAT. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Booking your survey
We’ll typically ask about:
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- The address and postcode of the property
- What’s prompted the survey
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
You can call us seven days a week. To book or ask a question, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Thermal roof surveys in Segensworth: local notes
Segensworth is within about 3 miles of the coast, and coastal wind can be strong. Calm, dry conditions after a sunny day suit thermal imaging best, so the visit is planned around the forecast. Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
Shop and office owners around Fareham Shopping Centre may find that large commercial roofs are often easiest to see from the air or with a thermal camera. If you look after a building such as Cornerstone CofE (VA) Primary School, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it. Take an older house close to St John: thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image.

The survey, step by step
You don’t need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will take it from there. The survey itself takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. For a village or hamlet like Segensworth, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We talk through the roof, any damp or leaks, and the weather expected on the day.
- We check the roof from ground level, from windows and from the roof itself where it is safe.
- We take thermal images of the roof to pick up temperature patterns.
- We check the patterns that stand out with moisture readings where there’s safe access.
- We write up the thermal images alongside ordinary photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
How to book

What happens if roof problems are left?
Buyers get extra information from thermal images that the eye can miss. Finding hidden moisture before exchange gives you facts to raise with the seller. Older and listed buildings around Segensworth may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.

Segensworth questions
Do you carry out roof surveys in Segensworth?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Segensworth as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Will you come out to Segensworth?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Can you use a thermal camera on a sloping roof?
It can show heat loss and some damp, but it has more limits there. We explain what the images can and cannot tell you, and we check them with a visual inspection and moisture readings.
What does the report include?
You get our findings in writing, part by part, with photos. The most urgent items are made clear.
How many surveys have you done?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
How long will you be at the property?
Most surveys take about 1–2 hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. We will confirm the timing when you book.
