Thermal roof survey in Yaverland
We present each thermal image next to a normal photo of the same area, so it’s easy to see which part of the roof each one shows. Each one comes with an explanation, the moisture readings and our recommendation. With a Premium Survey, the report reaches you the same day. If you have questions, the in-person consultation gives you time to go through them. There is a 12-month follow-up as well. If you are worried about wet insulation beneath the membrane and water getting in at parapets and stacks, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Yaverland are listed or in a conservation area. A look from the air or with a thermal camera does not touch the roof, so it is a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof, before anyone decides what work it needs. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Common questions in Yaverland
Are there drone restrictions around Yaverland?
The answer turns on the exact location and the conditions on the day. Sandown Airport is about 2 miles away, so we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before any flight. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather, and the rest of the survey doesn’t depend on the drone.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Yaverland?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Does the weather affect a thermal survey?
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.
How experienced are you?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years.
What’s in the report?
Written findings with photos, explaining the condition of the roof, any defects and our recommendations, with the most urgent first where relevant. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check; Premium adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable and structural analysis.
What happens next?
The report arrives by email. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation, so you can talk the findings through.
Which survey includes thermal imaging?
It comes with our Premium Survey, which starts from £400. The Premium Survey also covers a full inspection, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and a report on the same day.
Signs you need a thermal roof survey in Yaverland
Some defects simply cannot be seen with the eye. Wet insulation, gaps in insulation and heat loss are often invisible from outside. A thermal camera adds another way of finding them.
Here are some of the things we see frequently:
- Cold spots on ceilings under the roof
- Stains that keep coming back
- Water getting in at parapets and stacks
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
For hotels and guest houses around Yaverland, a roof problem found early is far less disruptive than one found by a guest.
Before you book any roof surveyor

What happens if roof problems are left?
Trapped water can harm decks, timbers and ceilings the longer it stays. Surveying sooner gives you more choice about what to do. Older and listed buildings around Yaverland may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. You will know the price for your survey before booking.

Thermal roof surveys around Yaverland
The coast is about 1 mile or less from Yaverland. Calm, dry conditions after a sunny day suit thermal imaging best, so the visit is planned around the forecast. With Yaverland Manor about 0.5 miles north, Yaverland sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Take a building like The Bay Church of England School: big roofs are where photos from the air and thermal images show the most at once. Take an older house close to St John the Baptist Church: tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.

How the survey works
You don’t need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes between one and two hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. Somewhere like Yaverland 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 is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We start with the roof, its history and any signs of damp or heat loss.
- The weather and surface conditions are recorded.
- A full inspection and thermal imaging are carried out together.
- We back up the thermal patterns with moisture readings.
- The Premium report reaches you the same day, and we go through it with you in person.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of

Honest limits
Every survey has limits, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Bear these in mind:
- The condition of timbers we can’t see
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer
- Reliable images in rain, strong wind or on a wet roof surface
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we will point you to the right survey before you book. What our survey covers.
What we look at
- Flat roofs
- Commercial roofs
- Pitched roof slopes
- Insulated roof spaces
- Ceilings below the roof
- Loft conversions
What affects the cost of thermal roof surveys
When we price a survey, we consider:
- The size of the roof
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Helping us price your survey
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. The price is agreed before a date is set.
DIY checks: what’s safe
You can learn a lot from the ground. 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.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking and it will help the survey.
