Thermal Roof Survey in Leigh Park

- Moisture around outlets and upstands
- Water that travels before it shows
Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Leigh Park
A thermal imaging roof survey uses a thermal camera to show differences in surface temperature across a roof. The patterns can suggest wet insulation, gaps in insulation or places where heat is getting out. The camera doesn’t see water itself, so findings are checked with moisture readings. It comes as part of our Premium Survey, from £400. The report also notes the conditions on the day, since they affect what the camera can show. We survey commercial roofs, loft conversions and pitched roof slopes, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are wet areas near outlets and upstands and areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions.
In smaller places like Leigh Park, many homes are bungalows and houses with roofs you can partly see from the ground. Chimney tops, valleys and rear slopes are where close-up or thermal images help most. The forecast decides the day. Even so, a close-up image often shows wear on ridges and flashings that a view from ground level misses.
Where we can’t see part of the roof, the report says so. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Why act early in Leigh Park
Without thermal imaging, the only way to see how far water has spread is often to open up the roof. That helps you and your roofer decide what really needs replacing. Homes in smaller places like Leigh Park can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Each storm lifts it a little further, and water follows.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.

What we look for on each type of roof
Pitched slate and tile roofs
From inside the loft, the camera can help with damp around chimneys, valleys and roof windows. Findings are checked with moisture readings.
GRP fibreglass roofs
Glossy GRP can reflect heat. We take that into account and check findings with moisture readings.
What a thermal roof survey looks like in Leigh Park
Leigh Park is within about 2 miles of the coast. Calm, dry conditions after a sunny day suit thermal imaging best, so the visit is planned around the forecast. 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 cannot be judged properly from the pavement, and that’s where a view from above or a thermal image earns its place.
With Warblington Castle about 1.9 miles south-east, the area around Leigh Park has a long history. A drone or thermal survey does not involve any work on the roof, which suits older buildings. If you live in an older home near St Francis, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image. Anyone responsible for a site like Riders Infant School will know that a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.
Leigh Park is about 1 mile north of Havant, in Hampshire. We visit Leigh Park as part of our work across Hampshire, for houses, flats and commercial buildings. Our area takes in places right across Hampshire. We also survey roofs in Portsmouth.

Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Leigh Park
Is Leigh Park within the area you cover?
Yes, Leigh Park is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Is my home in Leigh Park listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Does the report include photos?
Yes. We photograph the roof as we go, and the report uses them to show each finding alongside our recommendations.
How long does the survey take?
Expect it to take roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
The survey, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, like stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll take it from there. The survey itself takes about one to two hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Leigh Park is booked with the forecast in mind: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- You tell us about the roof and any damp, leaks or cold rooms.
- The weather and surface conditions are recorded.
- We inspect the roof and take thermal images during the same visit.
- Moisture readings are used to check what the camera shows.
- The Premium report reaches you the same day, and we go through it with you in person.
Before the survey
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Find any records of previous roof work

Related advice
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.

What else we do in Leigh Park
Before and after the survey
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Talk to us about the weather when booking
- Keep the heating on as usual before a heat loss survey
- Keep outlets and gutters clear to stop water sitting
- Note where damp appears and after what weather
Once we have been, the thermal images, photos and readings go into a single report. Each image is explained in plain words, alongside what we recommend. With a Premium Survey, you get the report the same day.
Have small defects in the covering fixed early. Water that gets under a covering can spread a long way before it shows.
When you need someone else
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- The condition of timbers we can’t see
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer
- Clear results when the conditions on the day are poor
