Thermal roof survey in Shootash: what you get
A thermal survey is not a quick fix for every roof problem. It shows surface temperature, and things like sun, shade, reflections and wind all affect the readings. We back up the images with moisture readings and a careful look at the roof. Our report says plainly what the camera picked up and how sure we can be. Where something can’t be confirmed, we say what would help next. Common reasons to book are damp that repairs haven’t cured and patches of heat loss across the roof, on pitched roof slopes, flat roofs and insulated roof spaces.
In a small place like Shootash, open ground can mean strong wind. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
After the visit, you get a photo-illustrated written report, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Common questions in Shootash
Is Shootash in the area you cover?
Yes, Shootash is within the area we cover. We work right across London and South East England. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the property.
Will you come out to Shootash?
Yes. Shootash is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
How do I arrange a thermal roof survey in Shootash?
Simply call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
Can a thermal camera see water?
The camera doesn’t see water itself. Wet insulation holds heat longer than dry, so it can stand out, but we check each finding with moisture readings.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
How we price thermal roof surveys
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- The size of the roof
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
A Basic Survey starts from £150, including VAT. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both including VAT. We confirm the price for your survey before you book.
Booking your survey
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Dates you are working to, like exchange
- The address and postcode of the property
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
Once you know what you need, call 07833 053749 or send us an email. We will suggest a package, agree the price and find a date.

For landlords and managing agents
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which can make access easier.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, with the report sent to whoever needs it. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
The survey, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. Around Shootash, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- We start with the roof, its history and any signs of damp or heat loss.
- We check the conditions and note how they may affect the images.
- We inspect the roof and take thermal images during the same visit.
- We back up the thermal patterns with moisture readings.
- The Premium report reaches you the same day, and we go through it with you in person.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

Roof by roof
Parapets, valleys and junctions
Damp at junctions can be hard to see by eye. We combine a close visual check with the thermal images.
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
On larger commercial single-ply roofs, thermal imaging can help target moisture readings. That makes the survey more focused.
What a thermal roof survey does not cover
Every survey has limits, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Bear these in mind:
- A structural engineer’s assessment
- Reliable images in rain, strong wind or on a wet roof surface
- An energy rating for the building

What a thermal roof survey looks like in Shootash
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Many roofs like these cannot be judged properly from the pavement, and that’s where a view from above or a thermal image earns its place. If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of All Saints, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof frequently shows up clearly on a thermal image. Historic houses such as Mottisfont Abbey, about 3 miles north, show how far back building around Shootash goes. For older roofs nearby, a look from above or with a thermal imager is a hands-off way to check condition.
Shootash is about 3 miles west of Romsey, in Hampshire. Bookings from Shootash are handled just like any other: get in touch, agree the price and pick a day. Shootash is one of the towns and villages in Hampshire where we work for thermal roof surveys. There is also a page for Southampton.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Shootash
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. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Shootash, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
