Do you need a thermal roof survey in Hartley Wintney?
After a repair, some owners want to know whether the roof has dried out. A thermal survey with moisture readings can show whether wet areas remain, given suitable conditions on the day.
Problems we come across often include:
- Damp around roof outlets and upstands
- Missing or slipped insulation
- Leaks that are hard to trace
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
For an older house near a landmark such as St John's Church, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image.

About our thermal roof survey in Hartley Wintney
Thermal imaging can also show where a roof is losing heat. Missing or slipped insulation and gaps at the eaves often show up as temperature differences. The difference shows most clearly when it’s warm inside and cold outside. The report shows the images and explains what they may mean. We do not give energy ratings or heat loss calculations. Common reasons to book are leaks far from where the stain appears and moisture around outlets and upstands, on ceilings below the roof, commercial roofs and insulated roof spaces.
Places like Hartley Wintney can be near small airfields or other airspace restrictions, so every drone flight starts with a check of the Drone Safety Map. Open ground can mean stronger wind, which also affects whether a small drone can fly, while thermal imaging also works best with little wind. Each flight is planned with neighbours’ privacy in mind, as well as the airspace and the wind.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Thermal roof surveys in Hartley Wintney: local notes
Blackbushe Airport is about 3 miles from Hartley Wintney. If your survey includes the drone, the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions first. 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. Many roofs like these cannot be judged properly from the pavement, and that’s where a view from above or a thermal image earns its place.
For businesses in and around places such as Hart Shopping Centre, a commercial roof can be photographed from above without anyone walking on it. If you look after a building such as Greenfields Junior School, a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Hartley Wintney
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in Hartley Wintney. To discuss a property or a block, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.
The survey, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. In a smaller place like Hartley Wintney, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- We start by discussing the roof, any signs of damp and how the weather may affect the images.
- We check the roof from ground level, from windows and from the roof itself where it’s safe.
- A thermal camera records how the surface temperature varies across the roof.
- Any patterns of interest are checked with moisture readings where we can reach them.
- The report sets out the images, what they suggest and what we recommend.
How to prepare
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

Hartley Wintney: your questions answered
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Hartley Wintney?
It depends on the exact address and the weather on the day. Hartley Wintney is about 3 miles from Blackbushe Airport, so the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions around it before we fly. High wind or heavy rain also stops a small drone flying, and the rest of the survey does not depend on the drone.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Hartley Wintney?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is 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.
How do I arrange a thermal roof survey in Hartley Wintney?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
How soon will I get the report?
Report times are set by the package. Basic is within 48 hours, Standard is 24–48 hours and Premium is the same day. If you have a deadline, such as an exchange date, tell us when you book.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. We check the parts we’re given access to.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
When you need someone else
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- A formal energy assessment
- Reliable images in rain, strong wind or on a wet roof surface
- Proving moisture from the images alone
If you’re not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking. What our survey covers.

Useful tips for Hartley Wintney property owners

If you are buying, the report gives you specific points to raise with the seller or agent. What you do with it is up to you, whether you ask for work before completion or discuss the price.
After repairs or a new covering, a later survey can confirm things are dry in suitable weather.
