Thermal Roof Survey in Stubbington
Thermal imaging to find moisture and heat loss patterns in a roof in Stubbington, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. You get a clear written report with photos.
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
- Leaks that are hard to trace
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
Tips that help
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Heat the home normally on the days before
- Keep dated photos of any marks on ceilings
- Keep the report to compare against after any repair
- Leave the roof to people with safe access
You can pass the report to a roofer so they can see where the problem areas seem to be. Each thermal image is matched to a normal photo, so the areas are easy to locate.
Watch for new damp patches on ceilings beneath the roof. Catching a leak early stops insulation getting soaked.
Thermal roof survey in Stubbington
Our thermal survey records how the surface temperature varies across your roof. The patterns can suggest wet insulation, gaps in insulation or places where heat is getting out. The camera does not see water itself, so findings are checked with moisture readings. Thermal imaging is included in our Premium Survey, from £400. The report also notes the conditions on the day, since they affect what the camera can show. If you are worried about leaks far from where the stain appears and areas of a flat roof that may hold water, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Older cottages and houses around Stubbington may have little insulation, and some have extensions with their own roofs. Thermal patterns and close-up photos together give a fuller picture of the roof. Findings are checked with moisture readings where needed. Calm, dry weather suits both methods, so the date is set with the forecast in mind.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

Signs you need a thermal roof survey in Stubbington
After a long-running leak, insulation under a flat roof can stay wet. Knowing how much of the roof is affected helps decide between a local repair and more. Thermal images and moisture readings together can show the likely extent.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
- Heat escaping through the roof
- Missing or slipped insulation
- Damp around chimneys and parapets
If you look after a building such as Crofton Anne Dale Junior School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.

For landlords and managing agents
If you own several properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To discuss a number of properties, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the addresses.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work.
What we look for on each type of roof
Pitched slate and tile roofs
Inside the roof space, thermal images can help with damp around stacks, valleys and roof windows. We check any patterns with moisture readings.
Parapets, valleys and junctions
Junctions where roofs meet walls, parapets and valleys are common places for water to get in. Thermal imaging can help show damp patterns around them.

Why it is worth a survey now in Stubbington
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. On a bungalow or cottage around Stubbington, the roof sits close to the rooms below, so a small leak can mark a ceiling within a few storms. Finding the cause first saves a second job inside.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Our price is from £400, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

FAQs for Stubbington
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Stubbington?
That depends on where the roof is and on the weather. Stubbington is about 1 mile from Solent Airport, so the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions around it before we fly. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather, though the rest of the survey goes ahead either way.
Will you come out to Stubbington?
Yes, Stubbington is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Does the weather affect a thermal survey?
The weather makes a real difference. It works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof surface and little wind. Rain and strong wind can make the images less clear, so we discuss the forecast when booking.
How many surveys have you done?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We are roof surveyors, not structural engineers. We will recommend an engineer if we see signs that call for one.
Is thermal imaging useful on pitched roofs?
It can help, but the results are often less clear than on a flat roof. Slates and tiles over a ventilated space can mask what’s below, so we also look from the loft where it is safe.
Drones, thermal imaging and Stubbington roofs
The coast is about 1 mile or less from Stubbington, and wind off the sea can be strong. Calm, dry conditions after a sunny day suit thermal imaging best, so the visit is planned around the forecast. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
If you run a business near Fareham Shopping Centre, large commercial roofs are frequently easiest to see from above or with a thermal imager. The streets around a church such as Holy Rood Church are frequently 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.
Stubbington is about 2 miles south-west of Fareham, in Hampshire. Whether the building in Stubbington is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, the roof can be surveyed on a weekday or at the weekend. We cover towns and villages across Hampshire, large and small. There’s also a page for Portsmouth.

How the survey works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. If you have questions on the day, just ask. In a smaller place like Stubbington, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from the ground and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- We go through the roof, the problem and the weather expected on the day.
- We look over the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- We take thermal images of the roof and of the loft where we can reach it.
- Patterns that stand out are checked with moisture readings.
- Each image is set beside a normal photo and explained in the report.
Preparing for the visit
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
