What affects the cost of thermal roof surveys
Prices vary from roof to roof, for these reasons:
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- The roof’s overall size
- House, block, shop or office
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.
What to tell us when you get in touch
If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
Our phone lines are open seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. For a price or to book, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
About our thermal roof survey in Upper Clatford
Thermal imaging is often most useful on flat roofs, from small extensions to large commercial roofs. Patterns can suggest where water is trapped under the covering. On pitched roofs, slates and tiles over a ventilated space can hide what’s below, so we combine the camera with an inspection from the loft where there is safe access. If you are worried about moisture around outlets and upstands and stains that keep coming back, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Older buildings in small places like Upper Clatford may be listed or in a conservation area. A look from above or with a thermal imager does not touch the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

What we do, step by step
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the loft space if there’s safe access. All told, expect about one to two hours at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. In a small place like Upper Clatford, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start by discussing the roof, any signs of damp and how the weather may affect the images.
- We look at the roof from ground level, from windows and from the roof itself where it is safe.
- We take thermal images of the roof to pick up temperature patterns.
- We check the patterns that stand out with moisture readings where there’s safe access.
- We write up the thermal images alongside ordinary photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in

GRP fibreglass roofs
Water under a GRP roof can reach the timber deck. The camera can help show where to look.
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
Many single-ply and EPDM roofs sit on insulation boards. If water gets under them, thermal imaging can suggest which boards are wet.

Honest limits
Our survey isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- Clear results when the conditions on the day are poor
- An energy rating for the building
- Seeing water directly, as the camera shows temperature, not moisture

Thermal roof surveys around Upper Clatford
There are several hotels within about a mile and a half of Upper Clatford. For hotels and other commercial buildings, large roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images show the most at once. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Where a roof is steep, tall or hard to see from the ground, drone photos and thermal images add detail.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Balksbury Junior School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof. If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where aerial photos and thermal images help. For hotels and guest houses around Upper Clatford, a roof problem found early is far less disruptive than one found by a guest, so it pays to find faults before guests do.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Upper Clatford
Once insulation under a membrane is wet, it tends to stay wet. In time, it stops insulating properly and can damage the deck. Finding them early can mean a smaller job. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Upper Clatford, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

FAQs for Upper Clatford
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Upper Clatford?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Will you come out to Upper Clatford?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
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 whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
Can you use a thermal camera on a sloping roof?
It can show heat loss and some damp, but it has more limits there. We explain what the images can and can’t tell you, and back them up with a visual inspection and moisture readings.
How long will you be at the property?
Expect it to take between one and two hours for a house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. You will then get the report by email, on the timescale of your package.
What does a thermal roof survey show?
The images show how warm or cool each part of the surface is. Differences can suggest wet areas, missing insulation or heat loss, and we check them with moisture readings.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them.
Tips that help
Getting the most from a thermal roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Keep dated photos of any marks on ceilings
- Ask us about the forecast if rain is expected
- Keep outlets and gutters clear to stop water sitting
- File the images with your roof records
You also get an in-person consultation with a Premium Survey, so you can go through the images with us. There is a 12-month follow-up too.
After repairs or a new covering, a later survey can confirm things are dry in suitable weather.
