Wondering about the roof at a property in St Mary Bourne? We carry out thermal roof surveys in St Mary Bourne and across Hampshire.

- Gaps in loft insulation
- Damp patches with no obvious cause
How a thermal roof survey works in St Mary Bourne
Thermal imaging is part of our Premium Survey, which starts from £400. It also includes a drone inspection where applicable, a structural analysis and a same-day report. An in-person consultation and a 12-month follow-up are included too. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a note of what you’ve noticed. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size. Common reasons to book are damp around chimneys and parapets and leaks that are hard to trace, across commercial roofs, flat roofs and insulated roof spaces.
Some older homes in villages like St Mary Bourne are listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on the roof, so it is a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof, before anyone decides what work it needs. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

- Loft conversions
- Ceilings below the roof
- Commercial roofs
- Pitched roof slopes
- Insulated roof spaces
- Flat roofs
How the survey works
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. Most surveys take an hour or two at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. Around St Mary Bourne, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. 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’s 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.
Getting ready for the survey
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

Signs you need a thermal roof survey in St Mary Bourne
Building owners and managing agents use thermal surveys to plan work on larger flat roofs. Patterns can point to wet areas and show which parts look sound, so moisture readings can be targeted.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Leaks far from where the stain appears
- Water getting in at parapets and stacks
- Damp patches with no obvious cause
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where photos from the air and thermal images help.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Whether you get a written report with photos
What you can safely check yourself
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
How we price thermal roof surveys
To price your survey, we look at:
- The size of the roof
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
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
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- Where the property is, with the postcode
Getting a price is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or email us, let us know about the property and we will point you to the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Surveys for landlords and agents in St Mary Bourne
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work around your tenants.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed beforehand. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier.
Flying and imaging in St Mary Bourne
Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.

Common questions in St Mary Bourne
How do I find out if my home in St Mary Bourne is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Will you come out to St Mary Bourne?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
When does the report arrive?
It depends on the package: the Basic Survey report arrives within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey the same day. The report is emailed to you.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from the freeholder or managing agent. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We’ll talk about access when you book.
Will the camera show exactly where the water is?
The camera does not see water itself. Because wet insulation holds heat for longer, it can show as a different temperature, and moisture readings are used to check it.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it is applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
