Common questions in North Baddesley
Do you cover smaller places like North Baddesley?
Yes, North Baddesley is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Can you fly a drone over a roof in North Baddesley?
Usually it comes down to two things: the airspace at the address and the weather. The flight restriction zone around Southampton Airport comes within about 2 miles of North Baddesley. We check the exact boundary for the address before flying, and if the roof falls inside it, we ask for permission first. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather, though the rest of the survey goes ahead either way.
How long is the visit?
Time on site depends on the roof, but most surveys take about one to two hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. The written report follows by email.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you as you book.
How experienced are you?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Are you structural engineers?
No. Visible signs such as deflection or sagging are recorded, but we don’t provide calculations or an engineer’s opinion. The report will say if you need an engineer.
Thermal roof survey in North Baddesley: what you get
A thermal survey isn’t a quick fix for every roof problem. Sun, shade, reflective surfaces and wind can all change what the camera shows. We back up the images with moisture readings and a careful look at the roof. The report is clear about what the images show and what they do not. Where something cannot be confirmed, we say what would help next. Common reasons to book are possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering and heat escaping through the roof, across commercial roofs, pitched roof slopes and flat roofs.
Older cottages and houses around North Baddesley may have little insulation, and some have extensions with their own roofs. A thermal image can show where heat is escaping or where moisture may be trapped, and drone photos show the roof surfaces themselves. Anything that looks like moisture is checked with a meter. Calm, dry weather suits both methods, so the date is set with the forecast in mind.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, like when you want to compare after future work.

When to book a survey in North Baddesley
Building owners and managing agents use thermal surveys to plan work on larger flat roofs. Patterns can point to wet areas and show which parts look sound, so we know where to take moisture readings.
Look out for signs like these:
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
- Leaks that are hard to trace
- Missing or slipped insulation
- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
Take an older house close to All Saints: steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that’s where a view from the air or with a thermal camera helps.
Questions to ask before booking
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Whether the price includes VAT
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
Flying and imaging in North Baddesley
North Baddesley is within about 5 miles of the coast, and coastal wind can be strong. Clear thermal results need a dry roof and little wind after a sunny day, so the date depends on the forecast. South Stoneham House, about 4.1 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around North Baddesley. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as North Baddesley Junior School, big roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images show the most at once.

What else we do in North Baddesley
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
We survey roofs for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photographs.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. Surveys run on any day of the week, which can make access easier.
Tips that help
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Take photos of stains as they appear, so we can compare
- Leave the roof to people with safe access
- File the images with your roof records
- Clear a path to the loft hatch before we arrive
Where a pattern cannot be confirmed, the report says what could help, like electronic leak detection or opening up a small area.
Have small defects in the covering fixed early. Once water gets under a membrane, it can travel far before it appears inside.
How the survey works
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photos. As for time on site, it typically takes about one to two hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. Being in a smaller place like North Baddesley doesn’t change how the visit works: we look from ground level, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it’s safe. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- You tell us about the roof and any damp, leaks or cold rooms.
- 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.
- You get the report the same day, with an in-person consultation to follow.
Before the survey
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Clear the way to the loft hatch

- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
Our price is from £400, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, access and the package you choose.

What this survey can’t tell you
No survey can tell you everything, and it’s better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- Insulation values or heat loss calculations
- Proving moisture from the images alone
- Whether the deck or roof structure is strong enough
If you’re not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer. The full list of what we check.
