Winsor Thermal Roof Survey
Thermal roof surveys in Winsor and the rest of Hampshire. We survey seven days a week.
- Wet areas near outlets and upstands
- Heat escaping through the roof
- Damp patches with no obvious cause
What a thermal roof survey looks like in Winsor
The coast is about 4 miles or less from Winsor, and wind off the sea can be strong. Clear thermal results need a dry roof and little wind after a sunny day, so the date depends on the forecast. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Mary, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof frequently shows up clearly on a thermal image. Anyone responsible for a site like Copythorne CofE Infant School will know that a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.
Winsor is about 2 miles west of Totton, in Hampshire. Houses, flats, blocks and commercial buildings in Winsor can all book thermal roof surveys. Winsor is one of the places in Hampshire where we work. You can also see our page for Southampton.

Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Winsor
A thermal survey is not a quick fix for every roof problem. Sun, shade, reflective surfaces and wind can all change what the camera shows. We back up the images with moisture readings and a careful look at the roof. The report is clear about what the images show and what they do not. Where something cannot be confirmed, we say what would help next. If you’ve noticed damp that repairs haven’t cured and water getting in at parapets and stacks, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Winsor are listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on the roof, so it is a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof, before anyone decides what work it needs. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Why act early in Winsor
Buyers get extra information from thermal images that the eye can miss. Finding hidden moisture before exchange gives you facts to raise with the seller. In a small place like Winsor, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Thermal roof survey starts from £400, including VAT.

Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. Most surveys take about one to two hours at most homes, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Older rural homes like those around Winsor can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- 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.
- Moisture readings are used to check what the camera shows.

Advice
FAQs for Winsor
How do I find out if my home in Winsor is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Will you come out to Winsor?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
What will the report tell me?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos. Points are put with the most urgent first where relevant.
Is thermal imaging useful on pitched roofs?
On pitched roofs, the camera can point to heat loss and some damp patterns. Our report is clear about what can be read from them, and we check them with a visual inspection and moisture readings.
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 carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
How much does a thermal roof survey cost?
It is part of the Premium Survey, from £400. An in-person consultation and a follow-up 12 months later are included too. For bigger commercial roofs, we quote on size.
Tips from our surveys
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. A few suggestions:
- Talk to us about the weather when booking
- Check the loft can be reached safely
- Leave the roof to people with safe access
- Tell us where and when you’ve seen damp or stains
Buyers can use the findings when talking to the seller or agent. It is your decision how to use it, whether you ask for work before completion or discuss the price.
Clear outlets and gutters regularly, so water does not sit on the roof. The less water sits, the less can find its way beneath.
When you need someone else
This isn’t a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- An energy rating for the building
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer
- Readings unaffected by sun, shade or reflections
If you’re not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book. The full list of what we check.
