Thermal imaging roof survey in Langstone, Hampshire
Thermal roof surveys in Langstone and the rest of Hampshire. Surveys run seven days a week.
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
- Damp around roof outlets and upstands
- Damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys
How it works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photographs. As for time on site, it typically takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. In a small place like Langstone, access is typically the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- We look over the roof from wherever it is safe.
- We take thermal images of the roof and of the loft where we can reach it.
- Patterns that stand out are checked with moisture readings.
- Each image is set beside a normal photo and explained in the report.
Getting ready for the survey
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
Booking a survey
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: call 07833 053749 or email us, and we will ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Thermal roof survey in Langstone: what you get
Thermal imaging is a useful tool, but it has limits. Sun, shade, reflective surfaces and wind can all change what the camera shows. We back up the images with moisture readings and a careful look at the roof. Our report says plainly what the camera picked up and how sure we can be. If a finding can’t be confirmed, the report suggests a next step. Typical surveys look at cold spots on ceilings under the roof and areas of a flat roof that may hold water, across loft conversions, flat roofs and ceilings below the roof.
In a small place like Langstone, open ground can mean strong wind. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. A change in the forecast can mean moving the visit to another day.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Once insulation under a membrane is wet, it tends to stay wet. In time, it stops insulating properly and can damage the deck. Finding them early can mean a smaller job. For older village homes like those around Langstone, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, including VAT. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. You will know the price for the job before booking.

Before and after the survey
Getting the most from a thermal roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Remember the conditions on the day affect the results
- Keep outlets and gutters clear to stop water sitting
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Keep the report to compare against after any repair
Where a pattern can’t be confirmed, the report says what could help, for instance electronic leak detection or a roofer opening up a small section.
Have small defects in the covering fixed early. Once water gets under a membrane, it can travel far before it appears inside.

Drones, thermal imaging and Langstone roofs
Langstone lies within about 1 mile of the sea, 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.
Warblington Castle lies about 0.8 miles north-east, so building around Langstone goes back a long way. A drone or thermal survey does not involve any work on the roof, which suits older buildings. Take a building like Bosmere Junior School: a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit. If you live in an older home near Saint Nicholas' Chapel, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.

Do you cover smaller places like Langstone?

Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.

DIY checks: what’s safe
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
What we cannot see
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- Clear results when the conditions on the day are poor
- Hidden layers that need to be opened up to check
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer
