Thermal imaging roof survey in Wallington, Hampshire
We carry out thermal roof surveys in Wallington and the rest of Hampshire. We survey seven days a week.
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
- Damp around roof outlets and upstands
- Damp patches with no obvious cause
How a thermal roof survey works in Wallington
A thermal imaging roof survey uses a thermal camera to show differences in surface temperature across a roof. Those patterns can point to trapped moisture, missing insulation or heat escaping. The camera doesn’t see water itself, so findings are checked with moisture readings. It comes as part of our Premium Survey, from £400. Conditions on the day affect the results, and the report explains how. We survey pitched roof slopes, flat roofs and insulated roof spaces, and common reasons people get in touch are damp patches with no obvious cause and wet areas near outlets and upstands.
Around Wallington, a good many roofs are low enough to see partly from the garden or the street. Chimney tops, valleys and rear slopes are where close-up or thermal images help most. Both depend on the weather on the day, as calm, dry conditions suit both. Close-up images often show wear on ridges, verges and flashings that can’t be judged properly from the ground.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

How we price thermal roof surveys
We confirm the exact price before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.
What we need to know
A little information up front helps. It helps to include:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- When you need the report by
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
When you are ready to go ahead, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. We’ll suggest a package, agree the price and find a date, weekday or weekend.
Do you need a thermal roof survey in Wallington?
Unexplained damp is one of the main reasons people ask for thermal imaging. Water can travel under a roof covering or along timbers before it shows inside. Temperature patterns can help narrow down where to look.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
- Patches of heat loss across the roof
- Leaks far from where the stain appears
- Gaps in loft insulation
If you look after a building such as Wykeham House School, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Will the report include photos?
- What happens after the report arrives
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
Tips from our surveys
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Our tips:
- Photograph damp patches with the date
- Talk to us about the weather when booking
- Don’t climb onto the roof to look for leaks yourself
- Keep the heating on as usual before a heat loss survey
Premium Surveys include an in-person consultation, giving you the chance to talk through the images and findings. A follow-up 12 months later is included as well.
Have small defects in the covering fixed early. Once water gets under a membrane, it can travel far before it appears inside.
Wallington: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Wallington?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you cover Wallington?
Yes, Wallington is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Wallington as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Can thermal imaging show missing insulation?
Gaps and thin areas of insulation can show up on the camera. It shows most clearly when it is warm inside and cold outside. We look from the loft as well, where there is safe access.
Is thermal imaging useful on pitched roofs?
On pitched roofs, the camera can point to heat loss and some damp patterns. We explain what the images can and cannot tell you, and we check them with a visual inspection and moisture readings.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
Can you do a thermal survey in any weather?
Conditions on the day affect the results. It works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof surface and little wind. Rain, wind and heavy cloud can weaken the patterns, so we discuss the forecast when booking.
How fast do I get the report?
Each package has its own report time. Basic: within 48 hours. Standard: 24 to 48 hours. Premium: the same day. Mention any deadline as you book.

Why get it checked now?
Without thermal imaging, the only way to see how far water has spread is often to open up the roof. It helps when deciding whether to patch an area or replace the roof. Around Wallington, a leak in an older house can soak into timbers and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than the original defect.
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

How it works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes about 1–2 hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. In a smaller place like Wallington, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. Low roofs on bungalows can frequently be seen well from ground level, and the loft shows the rest.
- We start by discussing the roof, any signs of damp and how the weather may affect the images.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe viewpoints.
- A thermal camera records how the surface temperature varies across the roof.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
Getting a price
Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. You will have a price before anything is arranged.

What you can safely check yourself
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
It is useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking and it will help the survey.
What a thermal roof survey looks like in Wallington
Wallington is within about 1 mile of the coast. Calm, dry conditions after a sunny day suit thermal imaging best, so the visit is planned around the forecast. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Steep or complicated roofs are often hard to see from the ground, which is where aerial photos and thermal images help.
If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement. Shop and office owners around Fareham Shopping Centre may find that thermal images can show trapped moisture across a wide commercial roof.
Wallington is about 1 mile east of Fareham, in Hampshire. In Wallington, as across Hampshire, every roof gets the same careful survey. Wallington is one of the towns and villages in Hampshire we cover.
