Bridgemary questions
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Bridgemary?
Typically it comes down to two things: the airspace at the address and the weather. Solent 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, though the rest of the survey goes ahead either way.
Is my home in Bridgemary listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Will the survey show heat loss through my roof?
Thermal images can suggest where heat is escaping and where insulation may be missing. We don’t give energy ratings or heat loss calculations, but the report shows where to look more closely.
How do I arrange a thermal roof survey in Bridgemary?
Simply call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes, plenty. Each finding is shown in a picture where possible, so you can see what we mean.
Can you use a thermal camera on a sloping roof?
It can be useful, though pitched roofs are usually harder to read. Slates and tiles over a ventilated space can mask what’s below, so we combine it with an inspection from the loft where there is safe access.
How soon will I get the report?
Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24–48 hours and Premium reports on the same day. All of them come by email, ready to forward.
About our thermal roof survey in Bridgemary
Thermal imaging is part of our Premium Survey, which starts from £400. 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. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a note of what you’ve noticed. For big commercial roofs, we quote on size and access. We survey commercial roofs, flat roofs and insulated roof spaces, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are wet areas near outlets and upstands and missing or slipped insulation.
Places like Bridgemary can be near small airfields or other airspace restrictions, so the Drone Safety Map is checked before any flight. Open ground can mean stronger wind, which also affects whether a small drone can fly. Each flight is planned with neighbours’ privacy in mind, as well as the airspace and the wind.
The report doesn’t just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Common roof problems in Bridgemary
Flat roofs that have leaked for a while can have wet insulation under the covering. Owners want to know how far it has spread before deciding what to do. Thermal images and moisture readings together can show the likely extent.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
- Damp around chimneys and parapets
- Damp around roof outlets and upstands
- Leaks far from where the stain appears
Take an older house close to St Matthew's: tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.
Questions to ask before you book
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- Whether you get a written report with photos
Before and after the survey
Getting the most from a thermal roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Keep the heating on as usual before a heat loss survey
- Talk to us about the weather when booking
- Do not climb onto the roof to look for leaks yourself
- Check outlets after heavy rain
The report explains the conditions on the day and how they affected the images. That way you know how much weight to give each finding.
Clear outlets and gutters regularly, so water doesn’t sit on the roof. The less water sits, the less can find its way beneath.
Why act early in Bridgemary
Buyers get extra information from thermal images that the eye can miss. Hidden problems found before exchange can be raised with the seller or agent. On a bungalow or cottage around Bridgemary, the roof sits close to the rooms below, so a small leak can mark a ceiling within a few storms. Catching the cause first saves redecorating as well.

Checking the roof from ground level
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.

Thermal roof surveys around Bridgemary
Bridgemary lies within about 2 miles of the sea, and coastal wind can be strong. Thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof surface and little wind, so the date is chosen with the forecast in mind. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so check with the council.
Take a building like Rowner Junior: thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Fareham Shopping Centre, large commercial roofs are often easiest to see from the air or with a thermal camera.
Bridgemary is about 1 mile north-west of Gosport, in Hampshire. We visit Bridgemary as part of our work across Hampshire, for houses, flats and commercial buildings. We cover towns and villages across Hampshire, large and small.

Local landmarks in Bridgemary

How the survey works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes between one and two hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. In a smaller place like Bridgemary, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. Low roofs on bungalows can frequently be seen well from ground level, and the loft shows the rest.
- You let us know 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.
- The Premium report reaches you the same day, and we go through it with you in person.
Before the survey
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Find any records of previous roof work
