How a thermal roof survey works in Warnford
A thermal survey isn’t a quick fix for every roof problem. Sun, shade, reflective surfaces and wind can all change what the camera shows. That is why we check findings with moisture readings and a close visual inspection. The report is clear about what the images show and what they don’t. Where something cannot be confirmed, we say what would help next. We survey insulated roof spaces, pitched roof slopes and flat roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps in loft insulation and ceilings that feel colder in places.
In a village or hamlet like Warnford, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what can’t be reached safely. Weather and airspace are checked ahead of the visit. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Questions from Warnford
Will you come out to Warnford?
Yes. Warnford is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Warnford?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Can you do a thermal survey in any weather?
The weather makes a real difference. It works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof surface and little wind. Rain and strong wind can make the images less clear, so we talk through the forecast when booking.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. We will talk about access when you book.
Are you insured?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
What does a thermal roof survey show?
It records surface temperature across the roof. Differences can suggest wet areas, missing insulation or heat loss, and we check them with moisture readings.
Will the survey show heat loss through my roof?
Thermal images can suggest where heat is escaping and where insulation may be missing. We do not give energy ratings or heat loss calculations, but the images show where improvements may help.
How the survey works
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit normally takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. In a hamlet or village like Warnford, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start by discussing the roof, any signs of damp and how the weather may affect the images.
- We carry out a visual inspection of the roof from wherever it can safely be seen.
- A thermal camera records how the surface temperature varies across the roof.
- Areas that look unusual on the camera are checked with moisture readings where possible.
- The report sets out the images, what they suggest and what we recommend.
How to prepare
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
How to book
You can call us seven days a week. To book or ask a question, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Advice
Tips from our surveys
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Note where damp appears and after what weather
- Ask us about the forecast if rain is expected
- Keep dated photos of any marks on ceilings
- Keep the report to compare against after any repair
Many people send the report to roofers, who can then quote for the areas shown. Each thermal image is matched to a normal photo, so the areas are easy to locate.
Consider a repeat survey after major work on the roof in suitable weather.
Why it is worth a survey now in Warnford
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. Older and listed buildings around Warnford may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Prices start from £400, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and which survey you book.
What you get with us
- Weekday and weekend surveys
- Satisfaction rate of 98%
- An independent look at the roof

Flying and imaging in Warnford
Historic houses like Hinton Ampner House, about 3.1 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Warnford goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Many roofs like these cannot be judged properly from the pavement, and that’s where a view from above or a thermal image earns its place.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of Our Lady, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.

What a thermal roof survey does not cover
Our survey is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Insulation values or heat loss calculations
- Reliable images in rain, strong wind or on a wet roof surface
- Whether the deck or roof structure is strong enough

Different roofs, different checks
Parapets, valleys and junctions
Junctions where roofs meet walls, parapets and valleys are common places for water to get in. The camera can help show damp around these junctions.
GRP fibreglass roofs
Water under a GRP roof can reach the timber deck. Thermal imaging can suggest where that may be happening.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when booking, as it helps us focus the survey.
