Thermal imaging roof survey in Curbridge, Hampshire
We carry out thermal roof surveys in Curbridge and the rest of Hampshire. Surveys run seven days a week.
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
- Water that travels before it shows
- Patches of heat loss across the roof
How a thermal roof survey works in Curbridge
On a flat roof, wet insulation holds heat longer than dry insulation. That means a wet area can show up as a different temperature from the rest of the roof. This can give an idea of how far water has travelled beneath the membrane, something you cannot normally tell from the surface. Moisture readings are then used to check what the camera suggests. If you are worried about damp patches with no obvious cause and areas of a flat roof that may hold water, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on insulated roof spaces, ceilings below the roof and loft conversions alike.
Around Curbridge, a good many roofs are low enough to see partly from the garden or the street. The parts you can’t see, such as rear slopes, valleys and chimney tops, are where a drone or thermal camera adds detail. Both depend on the weather on the day, as calm, dry conditions suit both. Close-up images often show wear on ridges, verges and flashings that can’t be judged properly from the ground.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photograph. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Why act early in Curbridge
Before replacing a large flat roof, it is useful to know how much of it is actually wet. Thermal imaging, checked with moisture readings, gives a clearer picture before you commit. In an older home around Curbridge, water from a roof defect can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than the original defect.
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
What you get with us
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Surveys seven days a week
- Photographs and a written report every time
How the survey works
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the roof space if there’s safe access. All told, expect between one and two hours at a typical home; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. With a bit of garden around a house, as there frequently is around Curbridge, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Mention any side of the property we cannot get to. Inside, the loft is checked where it can be reached safely.
- You tell us about the roof and any damp, leaks or cold rooms.
- We check the conditions and note how they may affect the images.
- A full inspection and thermal imaging are carried out together.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
Arrange a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Advice
Common questions in Curbridge
Do you cover smaller places like Curbridge?
Yes, Curbridge is covered. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Is Curbridge in the area you cover?
Yes, Curbridge is within the area we cover. We work right across London and the South East. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details.
What do I do with the report?
You’ll get the report by email, with photos and clear recommendations. With Standard there’s a follow-up consultation; with Premium, an in-person consultation.
Will thermal imaging find my leak?
It often helps show where to look. Water can travel under a covering before it shows inside, and temperature patterns can help follow it. It’s used alongside a close inspection and moisture readings, as the camera alone can’t prove a leak.
How do I book a survey in Curbridge?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know the address and what you’d like to know. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and visible signs such as sagging are noted, but calculations and an engineer’s opinion are outside what we do. The report will say if you need an engineer.
What conditions are best for thermal imaging?
The results depend on the weather. A dry surface, little wind and a sunny spell beforehand help most. Our report notes the conditions and how they affected the findings.
What we cannot see
To be straight with you, there are limits to any roof survey:
- Confirming water without moisture readings
- What’s inside walls or under coverings, without opening up
- Reliable images in rain, strong wind or on a wet roof surface

Flying and imaging in Curbridge
Curbridge is within about 5 miles of the coast, and wind off the sea 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. Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.

Loft insulation
Loft insulation is easily disturbed when people store things or run cables. The camera can show where it no longer covers the ceiling.

Cracks in GRP can let water into the boards beneath. We look at cracks by eye and use the images to see whether there’s a pattern around them.
