Thermal Roof Survey in Winnall
Thermal roof surveys in Winnall and the rest of Hampshire. We survey on weekdays and at weekends.

How a thermal roof survey works in Winnall
We present each thermal image next to a normal photo of the same area, making it clear where on the roof each pattern is. Each one comes with an explanation, the moisture readings and our recommendation. With a Premium Survey, the report reaches you the same day. You can talk the findings through with us at the in-person consultation. There is a 12-month follow-up as well. We are often asked to look into areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions and moisture around outlets and upstands, on ceilings below the roof, pitched roof slopes and flat roofs.
Around Winnall, older homes can have thin loft insulation and later additions with roofs of their own. A thermal image can show where heat is escaping or where moisture may be trapped, and drone photos show the roof surfaces themselves. Anything that looks like moisture is checked with a meter. Results depend on the weather, so the visit is planned around the forecast.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Thermal roof surveys in Winnall: local notes
If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. 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.
If you live in an older home near Church of St John the Baptist, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof frequently shows up clearly on a thermal image. Hotels and guest houses near Winnall cannot easily close rooms for a leak, so it’s worth knowing the roof’s condition. If you look after a building such as Winnall Primary School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.

How we price thermal roof surveys
Survey packages start from £150, including VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- House, block, shop or office
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Building height and the viewpoints available
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £400, including VAT.
Getting in touch
These details help when you contact us:
- Anything about access we should know
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- What kind of property and roof it is

How the survey works
We do not take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. The survey typically takes about one to two hours at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. Homes around Winnall often have gardens on more than one side, which gives us room to step back and see the roof. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. The loft, where there’s safe access, completes the picture.
- You tell us about the roof and any damp, leaks or cold rooms.
- 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.
- You get the report the same day, with an in-person consultation to follow.
Preparing for the visit
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

What you can safely check yourself
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
What we look for on each type of roof
Pitched slate and tile roofs
On pitched roofs, slates and tiles over a ventilated space can mask what’s happening underneath. We combine the images with an inspection from the loft where there is safe access.
GRP fibreglass roofs
Glossy GRP can reflect heat. We allow for reflections and confirm findings with moisture readings.
Winnall questions
Do you carry out roof surveys in Winnall?
Yes, Winnall is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just call 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property.
Will you come out to Winnall?
Yes. Winnall is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Can a thermal survey trace a roof leak?
It can help narrow down where water may be getting in. Water can travel under a covering before it shows inside, and temperature patterns can help follow it. We combine it with a visual inspection and moisture readings because the camera can’t confirm water on its own.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
What can thermal imaging tell me about my roof?
The images show how warm or cool each part of the surface is. Differences can suggest wet areas, missing insulation or heat loss, which we then check with moisture readings.
What does the report include?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, backed by photographs. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too.
Will the camera show exactly where the water is?
The camera does not see water itself. Wet insulation holds heat longer than dry, so it can stand out, but we check each finding with moisture readings.
Practical tips
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Remember the conditions on the day affect the results
- Tell us where and when you’ve seen damp or stains
- Make sure the loft can be reached safely
- Do not switch the heating off ahead of the visit
Once we’ve been, the thermal images, photos and readings go into a single report. Each image is explained in plain words, with our recommendations. Premium reports are sent the same day.
Watch for new damp patches on ceilings beneath the roof. Early action keeps insulation from staying wet.
What this survey cannot tell you
In fairness, a roof survey has limits:
- Seeing water directly, as the camera shows temperature, not moisture
- The condition of timbers we cannot see
- Insulation values or heat loss calculations
