About our thermal roof survey in Weybourne
Thermal imaging can also show where a roof is losing heat. 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 is 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 leaks far from where the stain appears and cold spots on ceilings under the roof, on flat roofs, loft conversions and pitched roof slopes.
Even in a smaller place like Weybourne, there may be airfields or restrictions nearby, so the Drone Safety Map is checked before any flight. Exposed sites can be windy, and a small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind, while thermal imaging also works best with little wind. Each flight is planned with neighbours’ privacy in mind, as well as the airspace and the wind.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Buyers get extra information from thermal images that the eye can miss. Finding hidden moisture before exchange gives you facts to raise with the seller. In an older home around Weybourne, water from a roof defect can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than the original defect.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

Weybourne: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Weybourne?
Yes, Weybourne is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Is drone flying allowed in Weybourne?
That depends on where the roof is and on the weather. Weybourne is about 3 miles from Farnborough Airport, so the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions around it before we fly. High wind or heavy rain also stops a small drone flying.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not unless it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you when booking.
What happens after the survey?
You receive the written report by email, with photographs and recommendations. You can use it to talk to a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent, whichever applies.
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. Just tell us the days that suit you.
Drones, thermal imaging and Weybourne roofs
About 1.6 miles south-west lies Farnham Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Weybourne has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Farnborough Airport is about 3 miles from Weybourne. If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
The streets around a church like Church of the Ascension are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image.

Tips that help
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Keep outlets and gutters clear to stop water sitting
- Clear a path to the loft hatch before we arrive
- Remember the conditions on the day affect the results
- Keep the heating on as usual before a heat loss survey
Where a pattern cannot be confirmed, the report says what could help, for example electronic leak detection or a roofer opening up a small section.
Consider a repeat survey after major work on the roof, when the conditions are suitable.
How it works
The visit has one job: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit normally takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Weybourne is booked with the forecast in mind: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- You tell us about the roof and any damp, leaks or cold rooms.
- The weather and surface conditions are recorded.
- We inspect the roof and take thermal images during the same visit.
- 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 we arrive
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
How to book
Once you know what you need, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. We will suggest a package, agree the price and find a date, weekday or weekend.
Advice
Common roof problems in Weybourne
Some owners book because the rooms under the roof feel cold. Missing or slipped insulation can stand out as temperature differences, particularly when there’s a clear difference between inside and outside.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
Anyone responsible for a site like All Hallows Catholic School will know that a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Their report turnaround times
- What insurance they carry
Checking the roof from ground level
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
