Thermal Roof Survey in Sherfield on Loddon
Wondering about the roof at a property in Sherfield on Loddon? We carry out thermal roof surveys in Sherfield on Loddon and across Hampshire, with plain-English findings.
- Leaks far from where the stain appears
- Stains that keep coming back
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
What a thermal roof survey doesn’t cover
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- Insulation values or heat loss calculations
- What’s inside walls or under coverings, without opening up
- Confirming water without moisture readings

Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Sherfield on Loddon
Our thermal survey records how the surface temperature varies across your roof. Those patterns can point to trapped moisture, missing insulation or heat escaping. The camera doesn’t see water itself, so findings are checked with moisture readings. Thermal imaging is included in our Premium Survey, from £400. Conditions on the day affect the results, and the report explains how. We survey ceilings below the roof, commercial roofs and insulated roof spaces, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are gaps in loft insulation and areas of a flat roof that may hold water.
In a village or hamlet like Sherfield on Loddon, 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. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first, and the journey is planned ahead of time. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
It isn’t only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Tips that help
Getting the most from a thermal roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Clear leaves from outlets and gutters each autumn
- Check the loft can be reached safely
- Check from the ground or a window, never by climbing
- Keep a record of when stains appear
We note the weather and surface conditions, and how they may have affected the results. It helps you judge how firm each finding is.
Clear outlets and gutters regularly, so water does not sit on the roof. The less water sits, the less can find its way beneath.
Sherfield on Loddon questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Sherfield on Loddon?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Do you cover Sherfield on Loddon?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and Sherfield on Loddon is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you as you book.
When does the report arrive?
Each package has its own report time. Basic is within 48 hours, Standard is 24–48 hours and Premium is the same day. Mention any deadline when booking.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it’s safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
What can thermal imaging tell me about my roof?
The images show how warm or cool each part of the surface is. Differences can suggest wet areas, missing insulation or heat loss, which we then check with moisture readings.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Sherfield on Loddon
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which can make access easier.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Bigger roofs take more time, and they’re priced for the size.
DIY checks: what’s safe
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.

How it works
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. The whole visit typically takes between one and two hours at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In a small place like Sherfield on Loddon, 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. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- We look over the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- Thermal images are taken across the roof and, where there is safe access, in the loft.
- We take moisture readings where the images suggest a problem.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors

Drones, thermal imaging and Sherfield on Loddon roofs
If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these.
Take a building like Sherfield School: thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof. The streets around a church like Church of St. Leonard are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement. Stratfield Saye House, about 2.6 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Sherfield on Loddon. Photos from the air and thermal images let an old roof be checked without anyone disturbing it.

Why it is worth a survey now in Sherfield on Loddon
A poorly insulated roof loses heat year after year. The camera can point to gaps and thin areas in the insulation, so you know where to put things right. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Sherfield on Loddon, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.
Why us?

- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Photos and a written report every time
- Surveys seven days a week
