Thermal imaging roof survey in Stonehills, Hampshire
An experienced roof surveyor for thermal roof surveys in Stonehills. Over 5,000 surveys and 20+ years behind us across London and the South East.
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
- Cold areas below the roof
- Patches of heat loss across the roof
Can I check my roof myself?
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Stonehills
A thermal survey can point to places where heat is escaping through the roof. Missing or slipped insulation and gaps at the eaves often show up as temperature differences. It works best when the building is heated and it’s colder outside. Our report points out what the images suggest and where to look more closely. It is not an energy rating or a heat loss calculation. Typical surveys look at damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys and wet areas near outlets and upstands, on ceilings below the roof, pitched roof slopes and flat roofs.
In a small place like Stonehills, open ground can mean strong wind. A small drone cannot fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. The visit is planned around the forecast, along with the journey and access. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, and recommendations are put in order of urgency where relevant.

Do you need a thermal roof survey in Stonehills?
Some owners book because the rooms under the roof feel cold. Missing or slipped insulation can stand out as temperature differences, particularly when there is a clear difference between inside and outside.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Thin or uneven insulation in the roof
- Water that travels before it shows
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
- Cold areas below the roof
Beaulieu Palace House lies about 4.6 miles west, so building around Stonehills goes back a long way. Aerial photos and thermal images let an old roof be checked without anyone disturbing it.

Stonehills: your questions answered
Is Stonehills within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Do you cover Stonehills?
Yes, Stonehills is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details.
Can you do a thermal survey in any weather?
Conditions on the day have a big effect on what the camera can show. Dry, calm weather after some sun gives the best chance of clear images. Our report notes the conditions and how they affected the findings.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We’re roof surveyors, not structural engineers. If we see signs that need an engineer’s opinion, we’ll recommend one.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
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.
What can thermal imaging tell me about my roof?
The images show how warm or cool each part of the surface is. Differences can suggest wet areas, missing insulation or heat loss, which we then check with moisture readings.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Stonehills
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in Stonehills. For a price for a let property or a block, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, from shops and offices to industrial units. Larger roofs take longer.
What happens if roof problems are left?
If a big flat roof may need replacing, knowing the wet areas first is useful. Images backed by moisture readings show where problems seem to be before you commit. For older village homes like those around Stonehills, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, from £400 inc. VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you want to find out.

Thermal roof surveys in Stonehills: local notes
Stonehills lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Clear thermal results need a dry roof and little wind after a sunny day, so the date depends on the forecast. Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
Take a building like Fawley Infant School: big roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images show the most at once. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of All Saints, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.

How the survey works
The visit has one job: to see as much of the roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It normally takes between one and two hours for a house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Somewhere like Stonehills needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- First we go over the roof, the problem you’ve noticed and the conditions forecast for the visit.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe viewpoints.
- We take thermal images of the roof to pick up temperature patterns.
- We check the patterns that stand out with moisture readings where there is safe access.
- You get a report with thermal images, photos and our recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
