About our thermal roof survey in Hunny Hill
Flat roofs over extensions, garages, flats and commercial buildings are where thermal imaging often helps most. It can show patterns that point to trapped moisture under the membrane. Pitched roofs with slates or tiles are frequently harder to read, because of the air space beneath, so we combine the camera with an inspection from the loft where there is safe access. We survey commercial roofs, insulated roof spaces and loft conversions, and common reasons people get in touch are damp that repairs haven’t cured and water getting in at parapets and stacks.
Even in a smaller place like Hunny Hill, there may be airfields or restrictions nearby, so every drone flight starts with a check of the Drone Safety Map. Exposed sites can be windy, and a small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind. Each flight is planned with neighbours’ privacy in mind, as well as the airspace and the wind.
After the visit, you get a written report with photographs, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Thermal roof surveys around Hunny Hill
Hunny Hill is within about 4 miles of the coast. Clear thermal results need a dry roof and little wind after a sunny day, so the date depends on the forecast. A number of the island’s villages keep thatched roofs on older buildings, and the whole island is open to sea air and wind. Steep or complicated roofs are frequently hard to see from the ground, which is where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help.
If you look after a building like Hunnyhill Primary School, a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit. If you run a hotel or guest house in or near Hunny Hill, a roof problem can mean rooms out of use, so it is worth knowing the roof’s condition.

FAQs for Hunny Hill
Will you come out to Hunny Hill?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Is my home in Hunny Hill listed or in a conservation area?
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 long does the survey take?
It typically takes about one to two hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. You’ll then get the report by email, on the timescale of your package.
What’s the best way to book?
Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Will you photograph what you find?
Yes. Photos are part of every report, so you can see each point for yourself.
What will the report tell me?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, backed by photographs. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too.
Can you check my loft insulation with a thermal camera?
The camera can point to heat loss and gaps in insulation. We don’t give energy ratings or heat loss calculations, but the report shows where to look more closely.
What happens on the day
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes about one to two hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. Being in a smaller place like Hunny Hill doesn’t change how the visit works: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- We start by discussing the roof, any signs of damp and how the weather may affect the images.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe viewpoints.
- Thermal images are taken to show differences in surface temperature.
- Areas that look unusual on the camera are checked with moisture readings where possible.
- The report sets out the images, what they suggest and what we recommend.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Let us know where we can park nearby

Common roof problems in Hunny Hill
Flat roofs that have leaked for a while can have wet insulation under the covering. Owners want to know how far it has spread before deciding what to do. A thermal survey, checked with moisture readings, can give a much clearer picture.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Thin or uneven insulation in the roof
- Patches of heat loss across the roof
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
With Carisbrooke Castle about 1.3 miles south-west, the area around Hunny Hill has a long history. A drone or thermal survey doesn’t involve any work on the roof, which suits older buildings.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Buyers get extra information from thermal images that the eye can miss. Hidden problems found before exchange can be raised with the seller or agent. Blocked gutters on homes around Hunny Hill overflow and soak walls, especially where trees overhang. Dealing with the cause is simple; drying out a wall is not.

Roof by roof
Pitched slate and tile roofs
On pitched roofs, slates and tiles over a ventilated space can mask what’s happening underneath. We combine the images with an inspection from the loft where there is safe access.
Loft insulation
Insulation often gets moved during work in the loft. Thermal images can show where it has been pushed aside.
