About our thermal roof survey in Nately Scures
Thermal imaging is a useful tool, but it has limits. It shows surface temperature, and things like sun, shade, reflections and wind all affect the readings. We back up the images with moisture readings and a careful look at the roof. Our report says plainly what the camera picked up and how sure we can be. If a finding can’t be confirmed, the report suggests a next step. We survey pitched roof slopes, ceilings below the roof and flat roofs, and people most often book us about damp around roof outlets and upstands and water that travels before it shows.
Some older homes in villages like Nately Scures are listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photographs show what each point refers to, and recommendations are put with the most urgent first where relevant.

Flying and imaging in Nately Scures
If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. 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’s where a view from above or a thermal image earns its place.
The Vyne, about 4.9 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Nately Scures. For older roofs nearby, a look from above or with a thermal imager is a hands-off way to check condition. Anyone responsible for a site like Robert May's School will know that thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.
Nately Scures is about 5 miles east of Basingstoke, in Hampshire.

Why act early in Nately Scures
A damp patch that keeps coming back typically has a cause that hasn’t been found. Combining the camera with moisture readings can help find it, instead of trying repair after repair. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Nately Scures, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

Questions from Nately Scures
Do you carry out roof surveys in Nately Scures?
Yes, Nately Scures is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
How do I find out if my home in Nately Scures is listed?
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.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on any day of the week. To arrange a date, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
How soon will I get the report?
Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24–48 hours and Premium reports on the same day. Each one is emailed, ready to forward.
Can a thermal survey trace a roof leak?
Thermal imaging can help, alongside other checks. What it shows depends on the weather and the roof. Where it can’t be pinned down, the report suggests a next step, such as electronic leak detection.
Does thermal imaging detect leaks directly?
The camera does not see water itself. Because wet insulation holds heat for longer, it can show as a different temperature, and moisture readings are used to check it.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you when you book.
Tips from our surveys
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Our tips:
- Heat the home normally on the days before
- File the images with your roof records
- Talk to us about the weather when booking
- Photograph damp patches with the date
You also get an in-person consultation with a Premium Survey, so you can go through the images with us. There’s a 12-month follow-up too.
Consider a repeat survey after major work on the roof in suitable weather.

How the survey works
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you’d like to know. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, from ground level, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where it applies. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. Somewhere like Nately Scures needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- We start with the roof, its history and any signs of damp or heat loss.
- We check the conditions and note how they may affect the images.
- A full inspection and thermal imaging are carried out together.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear

Related advice
Surveys for landlords and agents in Nately Scures
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Let us know about it when booking and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which helps when tenants work during the week.
What we cannot see
We only report what can be seen safely on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:
- Whether the deck or roof structure is strong enough
- An energy rating for the building
- Hidden layers that need to be opened up to check
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll point you to the right survey before you book. What our survey covers.
Roof types and parts we check
- Loft conversions
- Flat roofs
- Commercial roofs
- Ceilings below the roof
- Insulated roof spaces
- Pitched roof slopes
Common roof problems in Nately Scures
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.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
- Water getting in at parapets and stacks
Take an older house close to Church of St. Nicholas: tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.
