Thermal imaging roof survey in Haslar, Hampshire
Independent thermal roof surveys in Haslar. We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
- Water that travels before it shows
- Damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys

What happens if roof problems are left?
Wet insulation under a flat roof doesn’t dry out on its own while the covering stays on. Over time, it insulates less well and can harm the deck. Finding the wet areas sooner keeps the work smaller. In a small place like Haslar, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.

Thermal roof survey in Haslar
Thermal imaging is a useful tool, but it has limits. Sun, shade, reflective surfaces and wind can all change what the camera shows. That is why we check findings with moisture readings and a close visual inspection. Our report says plainly what the camera picked up and how sure we can be. If a finding cannot be confirmed, the report suggests a next step. We are often asked to look into damp around roof outlets and upstands and water getting in at parapets and stacks, across commercial roofs, ceilings below the roof and pitched roof slopes.
In a village or hamlet like Haslar, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you can’t get from the ground. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
It is not only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

Can I check my roof myself?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Haslar
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, from shops and offices to industrial units. Larger roofs take longer.
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on.
What a thermal roof survey looks like in Haslar
Haslar is within about 1 mile of the coast, and coastal wind can be strong. Thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof surface and little wind, so the date is chosen with the forecast in mind. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
For hotels and guest houses around Haslar, a roof problem found early is far less disruptive than one found by a guest, so it’s worth knowing the roof’s condition. If you live in an older home near St Francis, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof frequently shows up clearly on a thermal image. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Tricorn Centre, a commercial roof can be photographed from above without anyone walking on it.
Haslar is about 2 miles south-east of Gosport, in Hampshire. We cover Haslar and the rest of Hampshire, as part of our work across London and South East England. Haslar is one of the towns and villages in Hampshire we cover.

- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- The shape of the roof and its details
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
Thermal roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and which survey you book.

Haslar: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Haslar?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. 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.
Do you cover smaller places like Haslar?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
What conditions are best for thermal imaging?
The results depend on the weather. Dry, calm weather after some sun gives the best chance of clear images. Our report notes the conditions and how they affected the findings.
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 whoever owns or manages the building. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
How do I arrange a thermal roof survey in Haslar?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Can a thermal camera see water?
No, not on its own. It shows surface temperature, and wet areas can show up because they hold heat differently. We confirm what it suggests with moisture readings.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Just say which days work for you.
Useful tips for Haslar property owners
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Keep the report to compare against after any repair
- Let us know where and when you’ve seen damp or stains
- Ask us about the forecast if rain is expected
- Check outlets after heavy rain
Many people send the report to roofers, who can then quote for the areas shown. Each thermal image is matched to a normal photo, so the areas are easy to locate.
Consider a repeat survey after major work on the roof, when the conditions are suitable.
How it works
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, from the ground, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where applicable. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Around Haslar, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We go through the roof, the problem and the weather expected on the day.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe positions.
- Thermal images are taken across the roof and, where there’s safe access, in the loft.
- Patterns that stand out are checked with moisture readings.
- Each image is set beside a normal photo and explained in the report.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
