Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Toothill
Our Premium Survey, from £400, brings together a full roof inspection and thermal imaging. It also includes a drone inspection where applicable, a structural analysis and a same-day report. There is an in-person consultation as well, plus a follow-up 12 months later. To book, just ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you’ve noticed. For big commercial roofs, we quote on size and access. If you’ve noticed water getting in at parapets and stacks and missing or slipped insulation, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Toothill, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you cannot get from ground level. Weather and airspace are checked before the visit. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
It is not only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Thermal images can suggest the extent of wet areas without cutting into the roof. It helps when deciding whether to patch an area or replace the roof. In a small place like Toothill, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Why us?
- Drones and thermal imaging where applicable
- Professional indemnity and public liability insurance

Take a look at how roof surveys are priced and what we found on two real jobs.
What we look for on each type of roof
GRP fibreglass roofs
GRP surfaces can be shiny, which affects thermal readings. We allow for reflections and confirm findings with moisture readings.
Loft insulation
Insulation often gets moved during work in the loft. Thermal images can show where it has been pushed aside.
Toothill: your questions answered
Is my home in Toothill listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Will you come out to Toothill?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
How soon will I get the report?
Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24–48 hours and Premium reports on the same day. All of them come by email, ready to forward.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years.
What do I do with the report?
You receive the written report by email, with photos and recommendations. You can use it to talk to a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent, whichever applies.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Signs you need a thermal roof survey in Toothill
Some owners book because the rooms under the roof feel cold. Missing or slipped insulation can stand out as temperature differences, particularly when there’s a clear difference between inside and outside.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
- Cold spots on ceilings under the roof
- Leaks far from where the stain appears
- Stains that keep coming back
South Stoneham House, about 4.3 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Toothill. Older roofs nearby can be steep and hard to see from the ground, and a survey from above or with a thermal imager does not touch the roof itself.

Thermal roof surveys in Toothill: local notes
The coast is about 4 miles or less from Toothill, and coastal wind can be strong. Calm, dry conditions after a sunny day suit thermal imaging best, so the visit is planned around the forecast. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Older coverings on steep or tall roofs are hard to judge from below, so close-up photos from the air and thermal images help.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St John, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that’s where a view from above or with a thermal imager helps. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Mountbatten School, a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.

How the survey works
You do not need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, like stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. Older rural homes like those around Toothill can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- 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.
- Each image is set beside a normal photo and explained in the report.
Before we arrive
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
Booking a survey
If you are buying, it’s useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.
Advice
What a thermal roof survey doesn’t cover
In fairness, a roof survey has limits:
