Thermal imaging roof survey in South Harting, Hampshire
An experienced roof surveyor for thermal roof surveys in South Harting. More than 20 years and over 5,000 surveys.
- Stains that keep coming back
- Cold areas below the roof
- Thin or uneven insulation in the roof
What we do, step by step
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. The survey normally takes between one and two hours at a typical home; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. In a hamlet or village like South Harting, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First we go over the roof, the problem you’ve noticed and the conditions forecast for the visit.
- We carry out a visual inspection of the roof from wherever it can safely be seen.
- Thermal images are taken to show differences in surface temperature.
- Areas that look unusual on the camera are checked with moisture readings where possible.
- We write up the thermal images alongside ordinary photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
How to book
Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will ask a few questions about the roof. You will have a price before anything is arranged.
Advice
About our thermal roof survey in South Harting
Our Premium Survey, from £400, brings together a full roof inspection and thermal imaging. You also get a drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and a report on the same day. An in-person consultation and a 12-month follow-up are included too. To book, just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you’ve noticed. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size. If you’re worried about stains that keep coming back and cold areas below the roof, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on insulated roof spaces, loft conversions and flat roofs alike.
In a small place like South Harting, open ground can mean strong wind. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. A change in the forecast can mean moving the visit to another day.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Tips that help
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Ask us about the forecast if rain is expected
- File the images with your roof records
- Check from the ground or a window, never by climbing
- Keep dated photos of any marks on ceilings
Buyers can use the findings when talking to the seller or agent. It is your decision how to use it, whether you ask for work before completion or discuss the price.
Check loft insulation covers the whole area and hasn’t been disturbed. Gaps often appear after work in the loft.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in South Harting. To discuss a property or a block, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work around your tenants.
South Harting questions
Do you cover South Harting?
Yes, South Harting is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details.
Do you cover smaller places like South Harting?
Yes, South Harting is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Will I get photos?
Yes. We photograph the roof as we go, and they go into the written report.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you as you book.
Can thermal imaging show missing insulation?
The camera can point to heat loss and gaps in insulation. The survey is not an energy rating or a heat loss calculation, but the images show where improvements may help.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with the freeholder or managing agent. Tell us about it when you book and we will plan the survey around it.
What we are asked to look at in South Harting
Buyers sometimes want more than a visual look at the roof. A Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, a drone inspection where applicable and a same-day report, which helps when timescales are tight.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Damp around chimneys and parapets
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
- Cold spots on ceilings under the roof
- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Mary & St Gabriel, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that is where a view by drone or thermal camera helps.
Questions to ask before you book
- What insurance they carry
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- How long the report takes to arrive
Drones, thermal imaging and South Harting roofs
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these. With Uppark about 1.2 miles south-west, South Harting sits in an area with a long building history. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
Anyone responsible for a site like Harting CofE Primary School will know that thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.
