Thermal imaging roof survey in Warnborough Green, Hampshire
Thermal imaging to find moisture and heat loss patterns in a roof across Warnborough Green, using drones and thermal imaging where it applies. Get in touch for a price.
- Water that travels before it shows
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
- Damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys
What you can safely check yourself
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Thermal roof survey in Warnborough Green: what you get
Thermal imaging can also show where a roof is losing heat. Gaps in loft insulation and poorly insulated areas can stand out on the images. It works best when the building is heated and it is colder outside. The report shows the images and explains what they may mean. It is not an energy rating or a heat loss calculation. Typical surveys look at damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys and missing or slipped insulation, on ceilings below the roof, pitched roof slopes and flat roofs.
Some older homes in villages like Warnborough Green are listed or in a conservation area. A look by drone or thermal camera doesn’t touch the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care, before anyone decides what work it needs. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

How the survey changes by roof type
GRP fibreglass roofs
Cracks in GRP can let water into the boards beneath. We combine a visual check of cracks with the thermal images around them.
Pitched slate and tile roofs
Thermal images of a pitched roof can still show heat loss patterns and some damp areas. We explain what can and cannot be read from them.

What we are asked to look at in Warnborough Green
Flat roofs that have leaked for a while can have wet insulation under the covering. Knowing how much of the roof is affected helps decide between a local repair and more. A thermal survey, checked with moisture readings, can give a much clearer picture.
People normally book a survey after spotting one of these:
- Gaps in loft insulation
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
- Wet areas near outlets and upstands
- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
The streets around a church such as Church of St Mary the Virgin are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where photos from the air and thermal images help.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Whether the price includes VAT
What happens on the day
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes an hour or two for a house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. For a village or hamlet like Warnborough Green, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We go through the roof, the problem and the weather expected on the day.
- We look over the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- Thermal images are taken across the roof and, where there is safe access, in the loft.
- Patterns that stand out are checked with moisture readings.
- Each image is set beside a normal photo and explained in the report.
Preparing for the visit
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in

Leave it or get it looked at?
A damp patch that keeps coming back usually has a cause that hasn’t been found. Thermal imaging with moisture readings can help narrow it down, instead of trying repair after repair. In a place like Warnborough Green, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.

FAQs for Warnborough Green
Is drone flying allowed in Warnborough Green?
The answer turns on the exact location and the conditions on the day. Warnborough Green is about 3 miles from RAF Odiham, so the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions around it before we fly. Strong wind or a downpour also stops a small drone flying, though the rest of the survey goes ahead either way.
Do you cover smaller places like Warnborough Green?
Yes, Warnborough Green is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Can you do a thermal survey in any weather?
The weather makes a real difference. A sunny day beforehand, a dry surface and calm air all help. Rain and strong wind can make the images less clear, so we discuss the forecast when booking.
Is thermal imaging good for finding leaks?
It often helps show where to look. Water can travel under a covering before it shows inside, and temperature patterns can help follow it. It’s used alongside a close inspection and moisture readings because the camera cannot confirm water on its own.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys run on any day of the week. To arrange a date, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Can you use a thermal camera on a sloping roof?
It can be useful, though pitched roofs are typically harder to read. The air space under slates and tiles can hide patterns, so we combine it with an inspection from the loft where there’s safe access.
