Hog Hatch Thermal Roof Survey
Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Hog Hatch. We have completed more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
- Damp patches with no obvious cause
- Leaks that are hard to trace
- Cold spots on ceilings under the roof
How the survey works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes an hour or two at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Hog Hatch is booked with the forecast in mind: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- We go through the roof, the problem and the weather expected on the day.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe positions.
- We take thermal images of the roof and of the loft where we can reach it.
- We take moisture readings where the images suggest a problem.
- Each image is set beside a normal photo and explained in the report.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

Thermal roof survey in Hog Hatch
Thermal imaging is useful when a damp patch has no clear cause. Leaks often run along a roof before they appear on a ceiling, and the camera can show patterns that help us follow it. The images are used alongside a visual inspection and moisture readings, so no conclusion rests on one method alone. Typical surveys look at water getting in at parapets and stacks and areas of a flat roof that may hold water, on loft conversions, ceilings below the roof and flat roofs.
Around Hog Hatch, older homes can have thin loft insulation and later additions with roofs of their own. Thermal patterns and close-up photos together give a fuller picture of the roof. Anything that looks like moisture is checked with a meter. Results depend on the weather, so the visit is planned around the forecast.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Different roofs, different checks
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
On felt and asphalt flat roofs, wet insulation can show as a temperature difference across the surface. Moisture readings are used to check them.
Loft insulation
From inside the loft, thermal imaging can show gaps in insulation and cold spots. We look where there’s safe access.
Common questions in Hog Hatch
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Hog Hatch?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Hog Hatch?
Yes, Hog Hatch is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and the South East. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
How fast do I get the report?
Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24–48 hours and Premium reports on the same day. All of them come by email.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
Is thermal imaging useful on pitched roofs?
It can be useful, though pitched roofs are normally harder to read. The air space under slates and tiles can hide patterns, so we also look from the loft where it is safe.
What’s in the report?
Written findings with photographs, explaining the condition of the roof, any defects and our recommendations. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check; Premium adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies and structural analysis.
What happens next?
The report arrives by email, with photos and clear recommendations. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation.
What this survey cannot tell you
In fairness, a roof survey has limits:
- Proving moisture from the images alone
- An energy rating for the building
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll recommend the right survey. What a survey covers and does not.
What we check
- Ceilings below the roof
- Loft conversions
- Commercial roofs
- Insulated roof spaces
- Flat roofs
- Pitched roof slopes
What affects the price in Hog Hatch
Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The shape of the roof and its details
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, from £400 inc. VAT. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Helping us price your survey
What helps most when you contact us:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
Getting a price is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or email us, let us know about the property and we’ll point you to the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Can I check my roof myself?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.
Thermal roof surveys in Hog Hatch: local notes
About 0.9 miles south lies Farnham Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Hog Hatch has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
The streets around a church like St Mark the Evangelist Church are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where photos from the air and thermal images help. If you run a business near Hart Shopping Centre, a commercial roof can be photographed from above without anyone walking on it. Take a building like Folly Hill Infant School: big roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images show the most at once.

Useful tips for Hog Hatch property owners
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Don’t switch the heating off before the visit
- Talk to us about the weather when booking
- Keep the report to compare against after any repair
- Take photos of stains as they appear, so we can compare
Once we have been, the thermal images, photos and readings go into a single report. We explain what each image may mean, alongside what we recommend. Premium reports are sent the same day.
Check that loft insulation is laid evenly and hasn’t been pushed aside. Insulation is frequently moved when people work in the roof space.
