Titchfield Common Thermal Roof Survey
A careful look at the roof at your property in Titchfield Common, with photographs and a written report.
- Missing or slipped insulation
- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
What we look for on each type of roof
Loft insulation
Loft insulation is easily disturbed when people store things or run cables. The camera can show where it no longer covers the ceiling.
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
Water under felt or asphalt can stay hidden for years. The camera can give clues to where it’s sitting, when the conditions allow.
How a thermal roof survey works in Titchfield Common
Our thermal survey records how the surface temperature varies across your roof. The patterns can suggest wet insulation, gaps in insulation or places where heat is getting out. The camera does not see water itself, so we check what it shows with moisture readings. It comes as part of our Premium Survey, from £400. The report also notes the conditions on the day, since they affect what the camera can show. We are often asked to look into water getting in at parapets and stacks and heat escaping through the roof, on ceilings below the roof, insulated roof spaces and commercial roofs.
Places like Titchfield Common can be near small airfields or other airspace restrictions, so every drone flight starts with a check of the Drone Safety Map. Open ground can mean stronger wind, which also affects whether a small drone can fly. Neighbours’ privacy is part of planning each flight, along with the airspace and the weather.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

FAQs for Titchfield Common
How do I find out if my home in Titchfield Common is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is Titchfield Common within the area you cover?
Yes. Titchfield Common is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
What will the report tell me?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, backed by photographs. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too, so you know exactly what was covered.
How do I book a survey in Titchfield Common?
To book, call 07833 053749 or email us and let us know the address and what you need to know. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Is thermal imaging included in your surveys?
It is part of the Premium Survey, from £400. You also get an in-person consultation and a 12-month follow-up. For bigger commercial roofs, we quote on size.
What happens next?
You’ll receive the report by email, and what you do next is up to you: raise it with a seller, send it to an insurer, brief a roofer or share it with a managing agent.
Does thermal imaging work on slate and tile roofs?
On pitched roofs, the camera can point to heat loss and some damp patterns. Our report is clear about what can be read from them, and back them up with a visual inspection and moisture readings.
Checking the roof from ground level
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
The survey, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photos, sent to you by email. On timing, most surveys take about 1–2 hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around Titchfield Common, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. The loft, where there is safe access, completes the picture.
- We talk through the roof, any damp or leaks, and the weather expected on the day.
- We check the roof from the ground, from windows and from the roof itself where it’s safe.
- We take thermal images of the roof to pick up temperature patterns.
- Areas that look unusual on the camera are checked with moisture readings where possible.
- We write up the thermal images alongside ordinary photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Tell us about parking before the day

Flying and imaging in Titchfield Common
Titchfield Common lies within about 2 miles of the sea, and wind off the sea can be strong. Thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof surface and little wind, so the date is chosen with the forecast in mind. If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Fareham Shopping Centre, a commercial roof can be photographed from above without anyone walking on it. If you live in an older home near St John, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image. Anyone responsible for a site like St John the Baptist Church of England Primary School will know that a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.
Titchfield Common is about 3 miles west of Fareham, in Hampshire. If you’re in Titchfield Common, booking works exactly as it does anywhere else: a call or an email, a price, then a date.

What affects the price in Titchfield Common

- The size of the roof
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium

What to tell us when you contact us
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. It is enough to let us know:

- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block

Practical tips
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Remember the conditions on the day affect the results
- Use the report as a baseline for later checks
- Make sure the loft can be reached safely
- Note where damp appears and after what weather
We note the weather and surface conditions, and how they may have affected the results. It helps you judge how firm each finding is.
Keep outlets and gutters clear so water drains off the roof quickly. Less standing water means less chance of it getting under the covering.
Why act early in Titchfield Common
If a big flat roof may need replacing, knowing the wet areas first is useful. Images backed by moisture readings show where problems seem to be before you spend. In a smaller place like Titchfield Common, wherever a roof is exposed, a loose ridge or flashing doesn’t stay loose for long. Wind gets under it and lifts more.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.
