Thermal Roof Survey in Weeke
Find out what’s going on with the roof before you spend money on it. Thermal roof surveys in Weeke, with photographs and a clear written report.
- Wet areas near outlets and upstands
- Stains that keep coming back
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
Should I look at the roof myself first?
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Weeke
A thermal camera can help when the cause of damp isn’t obvious. Water can travel some distance under a roof covering before it shows inside, and the camera can show patterns that help us follow it. We combine the images with a visual inspection and moisture readings, so no conclusion rests on one method alone. We survey pitched roof slopes, flat roofs and insulated roof spaces, and the problems we are asked to look at most are missing or slipped insulation and wet insulation beneath the membrane.
Even in a smaller place like Weeke, there may be airfields or restrictions nearby, so every drone flight starts with a check of the Drone Safety Map. Exposed sites can be windy, and a small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind. Neighbours’ privacy is part of planning each flight, along with the airspace and the weather.
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.

Drones, thermal imaging and Weeke roofs
If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. 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.
Anyone responsible for a site like Weeke Primary School will know that a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit. For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Matthew, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where aerial photos and thermal images help.
Weeke is about 1 mile north-west of Winchester, in Hampshire. Weeke is one of many places we visit across Hampshire. Across Hampshire, we cover Weeke and the places around it. For surveys nearby, see our Southampton page.
Every address in SO22 and SO23 is covered for thermal roof surveys, from the main roads to the quietest streets.

We also cover Harestock (1 mile north), Hyde (1 mile east), Abbotts Barton (1 mile east), Winchester (1 mile south-east) and Littleton (1 mile north-west).

Weeke: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Weeke is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Is Weeke within the area you cover?
Yes, Weeke is covered. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How do I arrange a thermal roof survey in Weeke?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it is safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable cover most of what’s needed.
Does thermal imaging detect leaks directly?
The camera doesn’t see water itself. Because wet insulation holds heat for longer, it can show as a different temperature, and moisture readings are used to check it.
Do you use drones?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them.
How the survey works
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. Most surveys take an hour or two for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. A visit to a smaller place like Weeke is no different on the day: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe positions.
- Thermal images are taken across the roof and, where there’s 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.
How to prepare
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

Leave it or get it looked at?
Repeated repairs that do not stop a leak are a sign the source hasn’t been traced. Combining the camera with moisture readings can help find it, instead of trying repair after repair. With lower homes, common in places like Weeke, there is little between a roof defect and the ceiling, so water can show inside quickly once it gets past the covering. Catching the cause first saves redecorating as well.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Thermal roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

What we look for on each type of roof
Loft insulation
Insulation frequently gets moved during work in the loft. The camera can show where it no longer covers the ceiling.
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
Felt and asphalt roofs frequently show wet areas as patches that differ from the rest. We check those patches with moisture readings.
What we cannot see
To be straight with you, there are limits to any roof survey:
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer
- The condition of timbers we can’t see
- An energy rating for the building
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will tell you before booking. The full list of what we check.
What we look at
- Insulated roof spaces
- Commercial roofs
- Ceilings below the roof
- Flat roofs
- Loft conversions
- Pitched roof slopes
What we’re asked to look at in Weeke
Buyers sometimes want more than a visual look at the roof. The Premium Survey brings thermal imaging and a drone inspection where it applies, with a report the same day, which suits a purchase that is moving quickly.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Missing or slipped insulation
- Stains that keep coming back
- Damp around chimneys and parapets
- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
Hotels and guest houses near Weeke can’t easily close rooms for a leak, so it pays to find faults before guests do.
What to check before booking
- What exactly goes into their report
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- When you’ll get the report
