Thermal imaging roof survey in West Tisted, Hampshire
Thermal roof surveys in West Tisted from an independent, experienced roof surveyor. Over 5,000 surveys and 20+ years behind us.
- Damp patches with no obvious cause
- Missing or slipped insulation
- Leaks that are hard to trace
How we price thermal roof surveys
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- How big the roof is
- The shape of the roof and its details
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- House, block, shop or office
Thermal roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, access and the package you choose.
Booking your survey
If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:
- What made you get in touch
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
When you’re ready to go ahead, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. We will suggest a package, agree the price and find a date, weekday or weekend.
Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in West Tisted
Thermal imaging can also show where a roof is losing heat. Missing or slipped insulation and gaps at the eaves frequently show up as temperature differences. It works best when the building is heated and it’s colder outside. Our report points out what the images suggest and where to look more closely. We do not give energy ratings or heat loss calculations. Typical surveys look at cold spots on ceilings under the roof and leaks that are hard to trace, on pitched roof slopes, loft conversions and insulated roof spaces.
Somewhere as small as West Tisted, older roofs are frequently steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you can’t get from ground level. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Useful tips for West Tisted property owners
Small things make a difference. Our tips:
- Keep the heating on as usual before a heat loss survey
- File the images with your roof records
- Keep dated photos of any marks on ceilings
- Let us know where and when you’ve seen damp or stains
Many people send the report to roofers, who can then quote for the areas shown. Because the images are paired with photos, it’s easy to find each area on the roof.
Have small defects in the covering fixed early. Water that gets under a covering can spread a long way before it shows.
Flying and imaging in West Tisted
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Older coverings on steep or tall roofs are hard to judge from below, so close-up close-up aerial shots and thermal images help. Hinton Ampner House, about 3.6 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around West Tisted. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.

Signs you need a thermal roof survey in West Tisted
Buyers sometimes want more than a visual look at the roof. A Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, a drone inspection where it applies and a same-day report, which suits a purchase that’s moving quickly.
Common reasons to book include:
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
- Leaks that are hard to trace
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Mary Magdalene, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that’s where a view by drone or thermal camera helps.
What to check before booking
- What experience they bring
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- What happens after the report arrives
- What they will not be able to tell you
How the survey changes by roof type
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
On larger commercial single-ply roofs, thermal imaging can help target moisture readings. It focuses the survey on the areas that matter.
Parapets, valleys and junctions
Problems where roof slopes and walls meet are often hidden. We combine a close visual check with the thermal images.
What happens on the day
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit usually takes about one to two hours for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Somewhere as small as West Tisted, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start with the roof, its history and any signs of damp or heat loss.
- The weather and surface conditions are recorded.
- A full inspection and thermal imaging are carried out together.
- We back up the thermal patterns with moisture readings.
- The Premium report reaches you the same day, and we go through it with you in person.
Before the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming

Common questions in West Tisted
Do you carry out roof surveys in West Tisted?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is my home in West Tisted listed or in a conservation area?
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.
What will the report tell me?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, with photos throughout. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, so you know exactly what was covered.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We note visible signs such as sagging or deflection, but we don’t carry out calculations or give an engineer’s opinion. Where an engineer is needed, we say so in the report.
How soon will I get the report?
The Premium Survey report comes the same day, the Standard within 24–48 hours and the Basic within 48 hours. All of them come by email.
Is thermal imaging good for finding leaks?
It often helps show where to look. Patterns can suggest where trapped water has spread. It is used alongside a close inspection and moisture readings because the camera can’t confirm water on its own.
How does a thermal imaging roof survey work?
The images show how warm or cool each part of the surface is. Differences can suggest wet areas, missing insulation or heat loss, and we check them with moisture readings.
