Thermal roof survey in Hale: what you get
Our Premium Survey, from £400, brings together a full roof inspection and thermal imaging. It also includes a drone inspection where it applies, a structural analysis and a same-day report. An in-person consultation and a 12-month follow-up are included too. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a note of what you’ve noticed. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size. We survey insulated roof spaces, flat roofs and ceilings below the roof, and the problems we are asked to look at most are stains that keep coming back and cold areas below the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Hale, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what can’t be reached safely. Weather and airspace are looked at ahead of the visit. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
We write the report in plain English, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Photographs show what each point refers to.

What happens on the day
The visit has one job: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photos go into the written report. It usually takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Around Hale, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start with the roof, its history and any signs of damp or heat loss.
- 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.
- The Premium report reaches you the same day, and we go through it with you in person.
How to prepare
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed

What affects the cost of thermal roof surveys
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- House, block, shop or office
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Roof area
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
Prices start from £400, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, access and the package you choose.
Getting in touch
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- What’s prompted the survey

Airspace, weather and Hale roofs
If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. The wider area around Hale has a long history of building, with Breamore House about 2.5 miles west. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Mary, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.

When to book a survey in Hale
After a long-running leak, insulation under a flat roof can stay wet. Knowing how much of the roof is affected helps decide between a local repair and more. A thermal survey, checked with moisture readings, can give a much clearer picture.
Problems we come across often include:
- Gaps in loft insulation
- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
- Leaks far from where the stain appears
- Heat escaping through the roof
Take a building like Hale Primary School: thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.

- How long the report takes to arrive

- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
What we look for on each type of roof
Pitched slate and tile roofs
Even on pitched roofs, the camera can point to heat loss and some damp. We explain what can and cannot be read from them.
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
Felt and asphalt roofs often show wet areas as patches that differ from the rest. Moisture readings are used to check them.
Practical tips
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Check from ground level or a window, never by climbing
- Keep the heating on as usual before a heat loss survey
- Remember the conditions on the day affect the results
- Check the loft can be reached safely
If the images suggest moisture that can’t be confirmed, we will say what would help next, for instance electronic leak detection or a roofer opening up a small section.
Make sure loft insulation covers the whole area and hasn’t been disturbed. Insulation is often moved when people work in the roof space.
FAQs for Hale
Will you come out to Hale?
Yes, Hale is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Hale?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Hale is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so we need permission from the building owner or managing agent. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
How quickly is the report sent?
It depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Reports are sent by email.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you as you book.
Will the camera show exactly where the water is?
Not directly. It shows temperature, and wet materials often behave differently from dry ones. That’s why we check any patterns with moisture readings.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
