Flying and imaging in Shipton Bellinger
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image.

About our thermal roof survey in Shipton Bellinger
Thermal imaging works best in the right conditions. It’s useful to have a sunny day beforehand, a dry surface and calm air. Rain, a strong wind or heavy cloud can make the images less clear. We will discuss the weather with you when booking, and our report notes the conditions and how they affected what we saw. If you’ve noticed gaps in loft insulation and ceilings that feel colder in places, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a village or hamlet like Shipton Bellinger, 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.
Where we cannot see part of the roof, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

What we’re asked to look at in Shipton Bellinger
On big commercial and residential flat roofs, thermal imaging helps owners plan. Patterns can point to wet areas and show which parts look sound, so moisture readings can be targeted.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
- Cold areas below the roof
- Damp around chimneys and parapets
- Gaps in loft insulation
If you look after a building such as Shipton Bellinger Primary School, big roofs are where photos from the air and thermal images show the most at once.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- What exactly goes into their report
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
What happens on the day
You do not need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, like stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes about one to two hours at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Cottages and farmhouses around Shipton Bellinger frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- We talk through the roof, any damp or leaks, and the weather expected on the day.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe viewpoints.
- A thermal camera records how the surface temperature varies across the roof.
- Any patterns of interest are checked with moisture readings where we can reach them.
- We write up the thermal images alongside ordinary photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Tell us about parking before the day

What happens if roof problems are left?
If a big flat roof may need replacing, knowing the wet areas first is useful. Thermal imaging, checked with moisture readings, gives a clearer picture before you commit. In a small place like Shipton Bellinger, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

How the survey changes by roof type
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
Water under felt or asphalt can stay hidden for years. Thermal imaging helps suggest where it is, when the conditions allow.
Parapets, valleys and junctions
Water often gets in where roofs meet walls, parapets or valley gutters. Thermal imaging can help show damp patterns around them.
FAQs for Shipton Bellinger
Do you carry out roof surveys in Shipton Bellinger?
Yes, Shipton Bellinger is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Shipton Bellinger?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We look at everything that can be seen safely: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We point out what can be seen, such as sagging or deflection, but we’re not structural engineers and do not carry out calculations. Where an engineer is needed, we say so in the report.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
What’s the best way to book?
