Hannington Thermal Roof Survey
A careful look at the roof at your property in Hannington, with photos and a written report.
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
- Missing or slipped insulation
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
The survey, step by step
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take between one and two hours at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. For a village or hamlet like Hannington, the journey is planned ahead of time: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- You tell us 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.
Before the survey
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
How to book
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or send us an email and give us a few details about the property and we will explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Advice
Thermal roof survey in Hannington: what you get
Thermal imaging can also show where a roof is losing heat. Gaps in loft insulation and poorly insulated areas can stand out on the images. It works best when the building is heated and it is colder outside. The report shows the images and explains what they may mean. We don’t give energy ratings or heat loss calculations. We are often asked to look into cold areas below the roof and damp that repairs haven’t cured, on insulated roof spaces, flat roofs and loft conversions.
In a small place like Hannington, open ground can mean strong wind. Strong wind or heavy rain stops a small drone flying, and calm conditions also suit thermal imaging best. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, sent by email. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Useful tips for Hannington property owners
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Clear a path to the loft hatch before we arrive
- Keep a record of when stains appear
- Heat the home normally on the days before
- Take photos of stains as they appear, so we can compare
If you are buying, the report gives you specific points to raise with the seller or agent. It’s your decision how to use it, whether that’s asking for work or discussing the price.
Deal with small splits and lifted seams promptly. Water that gets under a covering can spread a long way before it shows.
Thermal roof surveys in Hannington: local notes
If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Steep or complicated roofs are often hard to see from ground level, which is where photos from the air and thermal images help.
For an older house near a landmark like Church of All Saints, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that’s where a view from the air or with a thermal camera helps.

Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Hannington
Do you cover smaller places like Hannington?
Yes, Hannington is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Hannington?
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.
Which survey includes thermal imaging?
It’s part of the Premium Survey, from £400. You also get an in-person consultation and a 12-month follow-up. For bigger commercial roofs, we quote on size.
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 back them up with a visual inspection and moisture readings.
What does the report include?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos. The most urgent items are made clear.
Will you photograph what you find?
Yes. Photos are taken throughout the survey, and they go into the written report.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Checking the roof from the ground
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
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.
What affects the price in Hannington
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Roof area
Thermal roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and which survey you book.

What we are asked to look at in Hannington
Unexplained damp is one of the main reasons people ask for thermal imaging. Water can travel under a roof covering or along timbers before it shows inside. The camera helps narrow the search.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
- Damp around roof outlets and upstands
- Damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys
- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
In and around Hannington, as anywhere, a roof is easiest to deal with when its problems are found early.
