Thermal Roof Survey in North Hayling
Thermal imaging to find moisture and heat loss patterns in a roof in North Hayling, with drones and thermal imaging where they help. Call or email for a price.
- Thin or uneven insulation in the roof
- Water getting in at parapets and stacks
- Leaks far from where the stain appears
DIY checks: what’s safe
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
About our thermal roof survey in North Hayling
Thermal imaging is often most useful on flat roofs, from small extensions to large commercial roofs. It can show patterns that point to trapped moisture under the membrane. Pitched roofs with slates or tiles are often 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. If you are worried about damp that repairs haven’t cured and damp around roof outlets and upstands, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a village or hamlet like North Hayling, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you can’t get from ground level. Weather and airspace are checked ahead of the visit. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

What we do, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for a house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Older rural homes like those around North Hayling can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- 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.
- 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

Useful tips for North Hayling property owners
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Make sure the loft can be reached safely
- Use the report as a baseline for later checks
- Leave the roof to people with safe access
- Keep a record of when stains appear
Many people send the report to roofers, who can then quote for the areas shown. Because the images are paired with photos, it is easy to find each area on the roof.
Consider a repeat survey after major work on the roof, when the conditions are suitable.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Once insulation under a membrane is wet, it tends to stay wet. Over time, it insulates less well and can harm the deck. Finding the wet areas sooner keeps the work smaller. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, with VAT included. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. We confirm the price for your survey before you book.

Thermal roof surveys around North Hayling
The coast is about 1 mile or less from North Hayling. Clear thermal results need a dry roof and little wind after a sunny day, so the date depends on the forecast. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Steep or complicated roofs are often hard to see from the ground, which is where photos from the air and thermal images help.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Hayling College, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it. With Warblington Castle about 1.5 miles north, the area around North Hayling has a long history. Older roofs nearby can be steep and hard to see from the ground, and a survey by drone or thermal camera doesn’t touch the roof itself.

Different roofs, different checks
Loft insulation
Insulation often gets moved during work in the loft. Thermal images can show where it has been pushed aside.
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
On big single-ply roofs, the camera helps show where to take readings. It focuses the survey on the areas that matter.
FAQs for North Hayling
Is North Hayling within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How do I find out if my home in North Hayling is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Will the survey show heat loss through my roof?
Gaps and thin areas of insulation can show up on the camera. The difference is clearest when the building is heated and it is colder outside. Where we can reach the loft safely, we check there too.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access; we will agree the details as you book.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
What happens after the survey?
You’ll receive the report by email, and you decide the next step: use it with a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent.
Which survey includes thermal imaging?
Thermal imaging is included in our Premium Survey, from £400. The Premium Survey also covers a full inspection, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and a report on the same day.
Do you need a thermal roof survey in North Hayling?
After a repair, some owners want to know whether the roof has dried out. Thermal images and moisture readings can suggest whether moisture is still trapped when the conditions on the day are suitable.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Damp patches with no obvious cause
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
- Heat escaping through the roof
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
The streets around a church like Church of St Peter are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.
