Thermal imaging roof survey in South Wonston, Hampshire

- Patches of heat loss across the roof

About our thermal roof survey in South Wonston
We present each thermal image next to a normal photo of the same area, so it is easy to see which part of the roof each one shows. Each one comes with an explanation, the moisture readings and our recommendation. With a Premium Survey, the report reaches you the same day. If you have questions, the in-person consultation gives you time to go through them. A follow-up 12 months later is included too. Common reasons to book are damp around chimneys and parapets and stains that keep coming back, across loft conversions, pitched roof slopes and flat roofs.
In a village or hamlet like South Wonston, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you can’t get from the ground. Weather and airspace are looked at before the visit, and the journey is planned ahead of time. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Tips that help
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Take photos of stains as they appear, so we can compare
- Keep the report to compare against after any repair
- Tell us where and when you’ve seen damp or stains
- Clear a path to the loft hatch before we arrive
After the visit, we put the thermal images, photographs and moisture readings into one report. Each image is explained in plain words, with our recommendations. With a Premium Survey, you get the report the same day.
Keep outlets and gutters clear so water drains off the roof quickly. Less standing water means less chance of it getting under the covering.

What a survey costs
We confirm the exact price before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- Height and safe access
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The roof’s overall size
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Helping us price your survey
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Where the property is, with the postcode
Unsure which package suits your roof? The easiest way is to ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We will talk you through the options and what they cost.
South Wonston: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in South Wonston?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is South Wonston within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Will you photograph what you find?
Yes. Photos are part of every report.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone.
Are you insured?
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.
Signs you need a thermal roof survey in South Wonston
Cold rooms under a roof, or high heating bills, lead some people to ask about heat loss. Missing or slipped insulation can stand out as temperature differences, particularly when there is a clear difference between inside and outside.
Problems we come across often include:
- Cold areas below the roof
- Damp patches with no obvious cause
- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
- Patches of heat loss across the roof
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near St Margaret's, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image.
Choosing a roof surveyor

When you need someone else
Before you book, it’s worth knowing what a survey will not do:

Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so check with the council.

Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Tell us about it as you book and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client, photographs included.
The survey, step by step
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit typically takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Older roofs in small places like South Wonston can have low, tight loft spaces, so it is useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We go through the roof, the problem and the weather expected on the day.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe positions.
- 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 the survey
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
