Thermal roof survey in Hangersley
A thermal survey is not a quick fix for every roof problem. It shows surface temperature, and things like sun, shade, reflections and wind all affect the readings. That’s why we check findings with moisture readings and a close visual inspection. The report is clear about what the images show and what they don’t. Where something cannot be confirmed, we say what would help next. Common reasons to book are damp around chimneys and parapets and areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions, across commercial roofs, ceilings below the roof and loft conversions.
In a small place like Hangersley, open ground can mean strong wind. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. The visit is planned around the forecast, along with the journey and access. A change in the forecast can mean moving the visit to another day.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

Airspace, weather and Hangersley roofs
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these. Historic houses like Avon Tyrrell House, about 4.1 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Hangersley goes. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
The streets around a church such as St John the Baptist are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement. Anyone responsible for a site like Poulner Infant School will know that a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.

What affects the cost of thermal roof surveys
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
Prices start from £400, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included.
Getting in touch
When you call or email, these details help:
- What made you get in touch
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- The kind of building and roof involved
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.
What we look for on each type of roof
GRP fibreglass roofs
Cracks in GRP can let water into the boards beneath. We combine a visual check of cracks with the thermal images around them.
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
On big single-ply roofs, the camera helps show where to take readings. That makes the survey more focused.
Common questions in Hangersley
Is my home in Hangersley listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you cover smaller places like Hangersley?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Will I get photos?
Yes, every report has them. Each finding is shown in a picture where possible, which makes the report easy to follow.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
How do I arrange a thermal roof survey in Hangersley?
It is easiest to ring 07833 053749 or email us. Give us the address and some details about the roof. Surveys run seven days a week.
Is thermal imaging included in your surveys?
Thermal imaging is included in our Premium Survey, from £400. That also includes a full inspection, a drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and a same-day report.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
For landlords and managing agents
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. Surveys run on any day of the week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant in advance.
Also in Hangersley
Leave it or get it looked at?
Thermal images can suggest the extent of wet areas without cutting into the roof. It helps when deciding whether to patch an area or replace the roof. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Hangersley, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every price we give includes VAT. Prices start from £400, including VAT. You’ll know the price for your survey before booking.

What we do, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. Most surveys take an hour or two on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Somewhere like Hangersley needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- 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
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

Can I check my roof myself?
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
