How a thermal roof survey works in Tadley
Thermal imaging is part of our Premium Survey, which starts from £400. You also get a drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and a report on the same day. An in-person consultation and a 12-month follow-up are included too. To book, just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you’ve noticed. For big commercial roofs, we quote on size and access. Common reasons to book are wet areas near outlets and upstands and wet insulation beneath the membrane, across pitched roof slopes, loft conversions and flat roofs.
Before any drone flight in a town like Tadley, the airspace is checked on the Drone Safety Map, which shows restriction zones around airports and prisons. We fly a sub-250g drone and hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID. We take care over neighbours’ privacy. In the open category, flights stay under 120 m (400 ft) with the drone in sight.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Tadley
If you own several properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To discuss a number of properties, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps when budgeting.
Honest limits
This is not a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- Confirming water without moisture readings
- The condition of timbers we cannot see
- Whether the deck or roof structure is strong enough
If you’re not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will give you a straight answer before booking. The full list of what we check.
What this survey covers
- Loft conversions
- Insulated roof spaces
- Pitched roof slopes
- Commercial roofs
- Ceilings below the roof
- Flat roofs
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll take it from there. A typical survey takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. Semi-detached and terraced homes in a town like Tadley frequently share a roof line with the neighbours, so we look at what can be seen of the shared parts from your side. It helps to know about previous repairs, leaks or recent work.
- You let us know about the roof and any damp, leaks or cold rooms.
- The weather and surface conditions are recorded.
- We inspect the roof and take thermal images during the same visit.
- Moisture readings are used to check what the camera shows.
- The Premium report reaches you the same day, and we go through it with you in person.
Getting ready for the survey
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed

Prices start from £400, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can phone 07833 053749 or email us to find out.
Advice
What we are asked to look at in Tadley
Buyers sometimes want more than a visual look at the roof. The Premium Survey brings thermal imaging and a drone inspection where applicable, with a report the same day, which suits a purchase that’s moving quickly.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
- Water that travels before it shows
- Damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys
Anyone responsible for a site like Bishopswood Junior School will know that thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Their report turnaround times
- What exactly goes into their report
FAQs for Tadley
Is my home in Tadley listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
What do I need to do before a survey in Tadley?
Mostly, it is about access: the loft hatch, any locked gates and where to park in Tadley. It also helps to know about any leaks or earlier repairs.
How does a thermal imaging roof survey work?
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.
Is thermal imaging useful on pitched roofs?
It can help, but the results are often less clear than on a flat roof. The air space under slates and tiles can hide patterns, so we also look from the loft where it’s safe.
Is Tadley in your area?
Yes. We survey roofs in Tadley and the rest of Hampshire. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What insurance do you have?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and details are available on request.
What happens after the survey?
You’ll receive the report by email, and you decide the next step: raise it with a seller, send it to an insurer, brief a roofer or share it with a managing agent.
Why get it checked now?
A poorly insulated roof loses heat year after year. The camera can point to gaps and thin areas in the insulation, so improvements can go where they’re needed. A defect spotted early can be planned and budgeted for, whereas a leak tends to force the timing on you.

Thermal roof surveys around Tadley
About 4 miles south-east lies The Vyne, a reminder of how long the area around Tadley has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Many roofs like these can’t be judged properly from the pavement, and that is where a view from above or a thermal image earns its place.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Saint Mary's Church, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.
