Thermal imaging roof survey in Durley Street, Hampshire

- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
- Thin or uneven insulation in the roof
- Water that travels before it shows
How a thermal roof survey works in Durley Street
Thermal imaging can also show where a roof is losing heat. Missing or slipped insulation and gaps at the eaves frequently show up as temperature differences. The difference shows most clearly when it is warm inside and cold outside. The report shows the images and explains what they may mean. We don’t give energy ratings or heat loss calculations. If you’ve noticed leaks that are hard to trace and heat escaping through the roof, we can find out what’s behind it, on pitched roof slopes, ceilings below the roof and commercial roofs alike.
Some older homes in villages like Durley Street are listed or in a conservation area. A look by drone or thermal camera doesn’t touch the roof, so it is a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

What we do, step by step
It is useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. Somewhere like Durley Street needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- We start with the roof, its history and any signs of damp or heat loss.
- We check the conditions and note how they may affect the images.
- 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 we arrive
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
How to book
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and the days you’d prefer.
Advice
What affects the price in Durley Street
To price your survey, we check:
- The roof’s overall size
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
Prices start from £400, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.
Booking your survey
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- Anything about access we should know
- The property’s address and postcode
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Dates you are working to, like exchange
Getting a price is simple: just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and give us a few details about the property and we will point you to the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Roof by roof
GRP fibreglass roofs
GRP surfaces can be shiny, which affects thermal readings. We allow for reflections and confirm findings with moisture readings.
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
Because these membranes are thin, patterns from below often show. Reflections from shiny surfaces can affect readings, which we allow for.

What else we do in Durley Street
For landlords and managing agents
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, with the report sent to whoever needs it. Access is agreed with the tenant in advance.
Common roof problems in Durley Street
Building owners and managing agents use thermal surveys to plan work on larger flat roofs. It can suggest which areas may be wet and which seem dry, so moisture readings can be targeted.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Patches of heat loss across the roof
- Cold spots on ceilings under the roof
- Leaks that are hard to trace
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
Around Durley Street, as everywhere, small roof faults are simplest to sort before they let water in.
What to check before booking
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- When you’ll get the report
- Their insurance cover
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
Thermal roof surveys in Durley Street: local notes
Durley Street is about 2 miles from the edge of the flight restriction zone around Southampton Airport. If the drone is used for your survey, the exact boundary is checked for the address first. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Durley Street
Without thermal imaging, the only way to see how far water has spread is frequently to open up the roof. That helps you and your roofer decide what really needs replacing. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

Durley Street: your questions answered
Are there drone restrictions around Durley Street?
That depends on where the roof is and on the weather. The flight restriction zone around Southampton Airport comes within about 2 miles of Durley Street. The exact boundary is checked for each address before any flight, and a roof inside it needs permission before we fly. Strong wind or heavy rain also stops a small drone flying, though the rest of the survey goes ahead either way.
How do I find out if my home in Durley Street is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
How does a thermal imaging roof survey work?
It records surface temperature across the roof. Differences can suggest wet areas, missing insulation or heat loss, which we then check with moisture readings.
Do you cover Durley Street?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and that includes Durley Street.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
Can a thermal survey trace a roof leak?
It is a useful tool for tracing leaks, but not the only one. What it shows depends on the weather and the roof. If the source cannot be confirmed, we’ll say what could help next, such as electronic leak detection.
Which survey includes thermal imaging?
It is part of the Premium Survey, from £400. An in-person consultation and a follow-up 12 months later are included too. For bigger commercial roofs, we quote on size.
