Thermal imaging roof survey in Wootton, Isle of Wight
A careful look at the roof at your property in Wootton, and put it all in a photo-illustrated written report.
- Damp around roof outlets and upstands
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
- Missing or slipped insulation
About our thermal roof survey in Wootton
Thermal imaging is part of our Premium Survey, which starts from £400. You also get a drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and a report on the same day. There’s an in-person consultation as well, plus a follow-up 12 months later. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a note of what you’ve noticed. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size. If you’re worried about areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions and wet areas near outlets and upstands, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Older cottages and houses around Wootton may have little insulation, and some have extensions with their own roofs. 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.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photograph. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Wootton
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.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait.
How we price thermal roof surveys
To price your survey, we look at:
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- How big the roof is
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Basic, Standard or Premium
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
Getting in touch
These details help when you contact us:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- What made you get in touch
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form, and we’ll ask about the building and what you need. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
What you can safely check yourself
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
Different roofs, different checks
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.
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
Because these membranes are thin, patterns from below often show. Reflections from shiny surfaces can affect readings, which we allow for.

Why act early in Wootton
A damp patch that keeps coming back typically has a cause that hasn’t been found. Combining the camera with moisture readings can help find it, instead of trying repair after repair. On a bungalow or cottage around Wootton, the roof sits close to the rooms below, so water can show inside quickly once it gets past the covering. Finding the cause first saves a second job inside.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, which starts from £400, inc. VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you want to find out.
Why book with us
- Over 5,000 surveys carried out
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

Wootton questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Wootton?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Will you come out to Wootton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which survey includes thermal imaging?
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.
Can you use a thermal camera on a sloping roof?
It can be useful, though pitched roofs are usually harder to read. The air space under slates and tiles can hide patterns, so we also look from the loft where it is safe.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Let us know your preferred days when you book.
Can you check my loft insulation with a thermal camera?
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 images show where improvements may help.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Flying and imaging in Wootton
Wootton lies within about 2 miles of the sea, 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. With Osborne House about 2.2 miles north-west, Wootton sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Anyone responsible for a site like Wootton Community Primary School will know that big roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images show the most at once. For an older house near a landmark like St. Edmund's Church, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that’s where a view from above or with a thermal imager helps.
Wootton is about 3 miles west of Ryde, in the Isle of Wight. In Wootton, as across the Isle of Wight, every roof gets the same careful survey. Across the Isle of Wight, we cover Wootton and the places around it. There’s also a page for Portsmouth.

What we do, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit typically takes about one to two hours for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Homes around Wootton frequently have gardens on more than one side, which gives us room to step back and see the roof. Mention any side of the property we cannot get to. The loft, where there’s safe access, completes the picture.
- First we go over the roof, the problem you’ve noticed and the conditions forecast for the visit.
- We carry out a visual inspection of the roof from wherever it can safely be seen.
- Thermal images are taken to show differences in surface temperature.
- Areas that look unusual on the camera are checked with moisture readings where possible.
- We write up the thermal images alongside ordinary photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
