Wolverton Common Thermal Roof Survey
Need a thermal roof survey in Wolverton Common? We can help, with findings in writing and pictures to back them up. Weekday and weekend visits available.
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
- Stains that keep coming back
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work around your tenants.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, with the report sent to whoever needs it. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
About our thermal roof survey in Wolverton Common
Your report sets out the thermal images alongside ordinary photographs, so it is easy to see which part of the roof each one shows. We explain what each pattern may mean, what the moisture readings found and what we recommend. With a Premium Survey, the report reaches you the same day. If you have questions, the in-person consultation gives you time to go through them. A follow-up 12 months later is included too. We’re often asked to look into thin or uneven insulation in the roof and damp patches with no obvious cause, on loft conversions, ceilings below the roof and insulated roof spaces.
Some older homes in villages like Wolverton Common are listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Before and after the survey
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Heat the home normally on the days before
- Let us know where and when you’ve seen damp or stains
- Talk to us about the weather when booking
- Check outlets after heavy rain
If the images suggest moisture that can’t be confirmed, we will say what would help next, like electronic leak detection or opening up a small area.
Keep an eye on ceilings under the roof for new stains. Early action keeps insulation from staying wet.
How we price thermal roof surveys
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The shape of the roof and its details
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
To find out what your survey will cost, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the roof. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.
Helping us price your survey
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. Just tell us:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
Once you know what you need, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. We will suggest a package, agree the price and find a date, weekday or weekend.
Flying and imaging in Wolverton Common
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. If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Catherine are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where photos from the air and thermal images help. Anyone responsible for a site like The Hurst School will know that big roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images show the most at once.

What happens on the day
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a report with photographs. As for time on site, it usually takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. Somewhere as small as Wolverton Common, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You let us know about the roof and any damp, leaks or cold rooms.
- We check the conditions and note how they may affect the images.
- 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.
How to prepare

- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent

Can I check my roof myself?
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Why get it checked now?
Buyers get extra information from thermal images that the eye can miss. Hidden problems found before exchange can be raised with the seller or agent. Older cottages and farmhouses around Wolverton Common can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 inc. VAT. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.

FAQs for Wolverton Common
How do I find out if my home in Wolverton Common is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you cover Wolverton Common?
Yes, Wolverton Common is within the area we cover. We work right across London and South East England. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
What do I do with the report?
You receive the written report by email, with photos and recommendations. It is yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Will the survey show heat loss through my roof?
The camera can point to heat loss and gaps in insulation. The survey isn’t an energy rating or a heat loss calculation, but the report shows where to look more closely.
Which survey includes thermal imaging?
Our Premium Survey, from £400, includes thermal imaging. You also get an in-person consultation and a 12-month follow-up. For bigger commercial roofs, we quote on size.
How fast do I get the report?
That depends on the survey you book: the Basic Survey report arrives within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey the same day. Reports are sent by email.
