Thermal imaging roof survey in Wadwick, Hampshire
Not sure what state the roof is in? We carry out thermal roof surveys in Wadwick and across Hampshire.

About our thermal roof survey in Wadwick
On a flat roof, wet insulation holds heat longer than dry insulation. So a wet patch can show as a warmer or cooler area on the camera. This can give an idea of how far water has travelled beneath the membrane, something you cannot typically tell from the surface. Moisture readings are then used to check what the camera suggests. Common reasons to book are cold spots on ceilings under the roof and damp around chimneys and parapets, on pitched roof slopes, ceilings below the roof and commercial roofs.
In a small place like Wadwick, open ground can mean strong wind. Strong wind or heavy rain stops a small drone flying, and calm conditions also suit thermal imaging best. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. A change in the forecast can mean moving the visit to another day.
Where we cannot see part of the roof, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Do you need a thermal roof survey in Wadwick?
Cold rooms under a roof, or high heating bills, lead some people to ask about heat loss. Missing or slipped insulation can stand out as temperature differences, particularly when there is a clear difference between inside and outside.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys
- Cold areas below the roof
- Patches of heat loss across the roof
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
In and around Wadwick, as anywhere, a roof is easiest to deal with when its problems are found early.
Before booking anyone
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- What insurance they carry
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Will the report include photos?
What happens on the day
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a written report with photographs, sent to you by email. On timing, most surveys take an hour or two for a house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Rural addresses near Wadwick can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- We look over the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- We take thermal images of the roof and of the loft where we can reach it.
- We take moisture readings where the images suggest a problem.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
How to prepare
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

Useful tips for Wadwick property owners
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Our tips:
- Keep outlets and gutters clear to stop water sitting
- Leave the roof to people with safe access
- Keep the report to compare against after any repair
- Keep dated photos of any marks on ceilings
If the images suggest moisture that can’t be confirmed, we will say what would help next, like electronic leak detection or opening up a small area.
Keep an eye on ceilings under the roof for new stains. Catching a leak early stops insulation getting soaked.
Wadwick: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Wadwick?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How do I find out if my home in Wadwick is listed?
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 insurance do you have?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings.
Does thermal imaging work on slate and tile roofs?
On pitched roofs, the camera can point to heat loss and some damp patterns. We explain what the images can and can’t tell you, and back them up with a visual inspection and moisture readings.
How experienced are you?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies.
What a survey costs
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Roof area
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Getting in touch
When you call or email, these details help:
- What made you get in touch
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or send us an email, and we will ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.
