About our thermal roof survey in Hattingley
We present each thermal image next to a normal photo of the same area, making it clear where on the roof each pattern is. Each one comes with an explanation, the moisture readings and our recommendation. With a Premium Survey, the report reaches you the same day. You can talk the findings through with us at the in-person consultation. A follow-up 12 months later is included too. If you’re worried about areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions and damp that repairs haven’t cured, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a small place like Hattingley, 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. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
The report doesn’t just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

What you can safely check yourself
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
What affects the cost of thermal roof surveys
We confirm the price for the job before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- The size of the roof
- Height and safe access
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Which survey package you book
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 inc. VAT. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.
What we need to know
These details help when you get in touch:
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- The kind of building and roof involved
- The property’s address and postcode
Our price is from £400, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.
The survey, step by step
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. All told, expect about 1–2 hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. In a hamlet or village like Hattingley, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We talk through the roof, any damp or leaks, and the weather expected on the day.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe viewpoints.
- A thermal camera records how the surface temperature varies across the roof.
- We check the patterns that stand out with moisture readings where there’s safe access.
- You get a report with thermal images, photographs and our recommendations.
How to prepare
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
Arrange a survey

Airspace, weather and Hattingley roofs
About 1.9 miles north-east lies Bentworth Hall, a reminder of how long the area around Hattingley has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Many roofs like these can’t be judged properly from the pavement, and that is where a view from above or a thermal image earns its place.
Anyone responsible for a site like Medstead Church of England Primary School will know that a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit. The streets around a church such as Church of St Andrew are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.

Hattingley: your questions answered
Will you come out to Hattingley?
Yes, Hattingley is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Hattingley?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Hattingley as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Does thermal imaging work on slate and tile roofs?
It can show heat loss and some damp, but it has more limits there. Our report is clear about what can be read from them, and back them up with a visual inspection and moisture readings.
How long does the survey take?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof; most visits take roughly 1–2 hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. The report is sent afterwards by email.
Will the camera show exactly where the water is?
No, not on its own. It shows temperature, and wet materials often behave differently from dry ones. We confirm what it suggests with moisture readings.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Will the survey show heat loss through my roof?
The camera can point to heat loss and gaps in insulation. We do not give energy ratings or heat loss calculations, but the images show where improvements may help.
Practical tips
Getting the most from a thermal roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Remember the conditions on the day affect the results
- Clear a path to the loft hatch before we arrive
- Keep outlets and gutters clear to stop water sitting
- Do not climb onto the roof to look for leaks yourself
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.
Watch for new damp patches on ceilings beneath the roof. Early action keeps insulation from staying wet.
How the survey changes by roof type
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
On larger commercial single-ply roofs, thermal imaging can help target moisture readings. It focuses the survey on the areas that matter.
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
Felt and asphalt sit tight to the layers below, which often helps the camera pick up differences. Any patterns are checked with moisture readings.
