West Liss Thermal Roof Survey
Thermal imaging to find moisture and heat loss patterns in a roof for West Liss, from an experienced roof surveyor. Every survey comes with a written report and photos.
- Damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
What happens if roof problems are left?
The longer moisture sits in a roof, the more it can affect timbers and finishes below. Looking now, while the damage may still be limited, keeps more options open. In a place like West Liss, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.

Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in West Liss
Thermal imaging can also show where a roof is losing heat. Missing or slipped insulation and gaps at the eaves often show up as temperature differences. 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 isn’t an energy rating or a heat loss calculation. If you’re worried about patches of heat loss across the roof and ceilings that feel colder in places, we can find out what’s behind it, on loft conversions, flat roofs and commercial roofs alike.
In a village or hamlet like West Liss, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what cannot be reached safely. Weather and airspace are checked before the visit. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

What else we do in West Liss
Surveys for landlords and agents in West Liss

Landlords and agents in West Liss book surveys as well as householders. A photo-illustrated written report gives you a clear record of the roof.
When you need someone else
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- The condition of timbers we can’t see
- Confirming water without moisture readings
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer
If you’re not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will give you a straight answer before booking. What our survey covers.
Roof types and parts we check
- Ceilings below the roof
- Flat roofs
- Commercial roofs
- Loft conversions
- Pitched roof slopes
- Insulated roof spaces
Do you need a thermal roof survey in West Liss?
After a repair, some owners want to know whether the roof has dried out. Thermal images and moisture readings can suggest whether moisture is still trapped when the conditions on the day are suitable.
Common reasons to book include:
- Gaps in loft insulation
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
- Damp patches with no obvious cause
- Water that travels before it shows
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- What insurance they carry
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
How the survey changes by roof type
Pitched slate and tile roofs
Thermal images of a pitched roof can still show heat loss patterns and some damp areas. The report explains what the images can tell you and what they can’t.
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
Single-ply PVC, TPO and EPDM roofs are frequently laid over insulation boards. If water gets under them, thermal imaging can suggest which boards are wet.
Airspace, weather and West Liss roofs
If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
Anyone responsible for a site like Liss Infant School will know that a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.

Common questions in West Liss
How do I find out if my home in West Liss is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you cover smaller places like West Liss?
Yes. West Liss is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Will the survey show heat loss through my roof?
It can show temperature patterns that point to missing or thin insulation. The difference is clearest when the building is heated and it’s colder outside. We look from the loft as well, where there is safe access.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
How long is the visit?
Expect it to take roughly 1–2 hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We inspect what can be seen safely: from the ground, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
How do I book a survey in West Liss?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or email us. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we will take it from there. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends.
The survey, step by step
We do not take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. Most visits take about 1–2 hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. Somewhere as small as West Liss, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We go through the roof, the problem and the weather expected on the day.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe positions.
- Thermal images are taken across the roof and, where there is safe access, in the loft.
- We take moisture readings where the images suggest a problem.
- Each image is set beside a normal photo and explained in the report.
Before the survey
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
