How a thermal roof survey works in Winchfield
Our thermal survey records how the surface temperature varies across your roof. The patterns can suggest wet insulation, gaps in insulation or places where heat is getting out. The camera doesn’t see water itself, so findings are checked with moisture readings. Thermal imaging is included in our Premium Survey, from £400. Conditions on the day affect the results, and the report explains how. If you’ve noticed stains that keep coming back and possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a village or hamlet like Winchfield, 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. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Thermal roof surveys in Winchfield: local notes
If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Mary the Virgin are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image. Shop and office owners around Hart Shopping Centre may find that thermal images can show trapped moisture across a wide commercial roof.

What else we do in Winchfield
Roof by roof
Parapets, valleys and junctions
When valley or parapet gutters overflow, water can get into walls and ceilings. Thermal images, checked with moisture readings, can help trace it.
GRP fibreglass roofs
Water can get through cracked GRP into the deck. We check cracks by eye and use the images to see whether there’s a pattern around them.
Common questions in Winchfield
Do you carry out roof surveys in Winchfield?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, and Winchfield is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
How do I find out if my home in Winchfield is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
How long does the survey take?
It typically takes about 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.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Is thermal imaging useful on pitched roofs?
It can show heat loss and some damp, but it has more limits there. We explain what the images can and cannot tell you, and we check them with a visual inspection and moisture readings.
Is thermal imaging good for finding leaks?
Thermal imaging can help, alongside other checks. What it shows depends on the weather and the roof. If the source can’t be confirmed, we’ll say what could help next, like electronic leak detection.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We point out what can be seen, like sagging or deflection, but we are not structural engineers and don’t carry out calculations. If we think you need an engineer, the report says so.
How the survey works
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. Somewhere like Winchfield needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is 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 is safe.
- 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
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Clear the way to the loft hatch

Signs you need a thermal roof survey in Winchfield
On big commercial and residential flat roofs, thermal imaging helps owners plan. It can suggest which areas may be wet and which seem dry, so moisture readings can be targeted.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Wet areas near outlets and upstands
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
- Thin or uneven insulation in the roof
- Leaks far from where the stain appears
Take a building like Oakwood Infant School: thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.
