Thermal imaging roof survey in Curdridge, Hampshire
We take a careful look at the roof at your property in Curdridge, and put it all in a written report with photos.
- Patches of heat loss across the roof
- Damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
About our thermal roof survey in Curdridge
Flat roofs over extensions, garages, flats and commercial buildings are where thermal imaging frequently helps most. It can show patterns that point to trapped moisture under the membrane. On pitched roofs, slates and tiles over a ventilated space can hide what’s below, so we also look from the loft where we can reach it safely. We survey ceilings below the roof, insulated roof spaces and flat roofs, and people most often book us about water getting in at parapets and stacks and heat escaping through the roof.
In a small place like Curdridge, open ground can mean strong wind. Strong wind or a downpour stops a small drone flying, and calm conditions also suit thermal imaging best. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

What a survey costs
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- Roof area
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
Prices start from £150, inc. VAT, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. We confirm the price for your survey before booking.
What to tell us when you contact us
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- The address and postcode of the property
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
When you’re ready to go ahead, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. We will suggest a package, agree the price and find a date, weekday or weekend.
How the survey works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will take it from there. A typical survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. Around Curdridge, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First we go over the roof, the problem you’ve noticed and the conditions forecast for the visit.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe viewpoints.
- Thermal images are taken to show differences in surface temperature.
- Any patterns of interest are checked with moisture readings where we can reach them.
- We write up the thermal images alongside ordinary photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Leave a clear route to the loft

How the survey changes by roof type
GRP fibreglass roofs
Glossy GRP can reflect heat. We take that into account and check findings with moisture readings.
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
On larger commercial single-ply roofs, thermal imaging can help target moisture readings. That makes the survey more focused.
Before and after the survey
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Ask us about the forecast if rain is expected
- Photograph damp patches with the date
- Let us know where and when you’ve seen damp or stains
If the images suggest moisture that cannot be confirmed, we will say what would help next, for example electronic leak detection or a roofer opening up a small section.
After repairs or a new covering, a later survey can confirm things are dry, when the conditions are suitable.
Thermal roof surveys around Curdridge
If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Curdridge Primary School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.

Questions from Curdridge
Will you come out to Curdridge?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Is my home in Curdridge listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
Will the camera show exactly where the water is?
Not directly. It shows temperature, and wet materials frequently behave differently from dry ones. We confirm what it suggests with moisture readings.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
Will I get photos?
Yes. The report includes photographs of what we found, so you can see each point for yourself.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Once insulation under a membrane is wet, it tends to stay wet. Over time, it insulates less well and can harm the deck. Finding them early can mean a smaller job. In a small place like Curdridge, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £400, including VAT.

What we’re asked to look at in Curdridge
Once a leak has been fixed, people often ask whether the roof is still wet. Thermal images and moisture readings can suggest whether moisture is still trapped, given suitable conditions on the day.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Wet areas near outlets and upstands
- Damp around chimneys and parapets
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.
What to check before booking
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- When you will get the report
