Leagreen Thermal Roof Survey
Thermal imaging to find moisture and heat loss patterns in a roof in Leagreen, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. Every survey comes with a written report and photographs.
- Water that travels before it shows
- Patches of heat loss across the roof
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
Thermal roof survey in Leagreen: what you get
A thermal survey can point to places where heat is escaping through the roof. Gaps in loft insulation and poorly insulated areas can stand out on the images. It works best when the building is heated and it is colder outside. Our report points out what the images suggest and where to look more closely. We do not give energy ratings or heat loss calculations. If you’ve noticed patches of heat loss across the roof and ceilings that feel colder in places, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on pitched roof slopes, ceilings below the roof and commercial roofs alike.
In a small place like Leagreen, open ground can mean strong wind. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, 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.
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 affects the price in Leagreen
Several things affect the price of a survey:

- How big the roof is
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

Roof by roof
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
Felt and asphalt sit tight to the layers below, which often helps the camera pick up differences. Any patterns are checked with moisture readings.
GRP fibreglass roofs
Water can get through cracked GRP into the deck. We combine a visual check of cracks with the thermal images around them.
Common roof problems in Leagreen
After a long-running leak, insulation under a flat roof can stay wet. 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.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
- Patches of heat loss across the roof
- Water that travels before it shows
- Damp patches with no obvious cause
Highcliffe Castle, about 4.5 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Leagreen. For older roofs nearby, a look by drone or thermal camera is a hands-off way to check condition.

What a thermal roof survey looks like in Leagreen
Leagreen is within about 1 mile of the coast, and wind off the sea can be strong. Clear thermal results need a dry roof and little wind after a sunny day, so the date depends on the forecast. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Where a roof is steep, tall or hard to see from ground level, drone photos and thermal images add detail.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement. Anyone responsible for a site like Hordle CofE (VA) Primary School will know that big roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images show the most at once.
Leagreen is about 3 miles west of Lymington, in Hampshire. Houses, flats, blocks and commercial buildings in Leagreen can all book thermal roof surveys, with a written report and photographs every time. Leagreen is one of the towns and villages in Hampshire we cover for thermal roof surveys. There is also a page for Southampton.

How the survey works
It’s useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. Somewhere as small as Leagreen, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe positions.
- 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.
Before the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Let us know about parking near the property

Surveys for landlords and agents in Leagreen
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work.
We survey roofs for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. A written report with photographs gives you a clear record of the roof.
Leave it or get it looked at?
A damp patch that keeps coming back normally has a cause that hasn’t been found. Thermal imaging with moisture readings can help narrow it down, instead of trying repair after repair. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Thermal roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and the package you choose.
What you get with us
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Surveys on any day of the week

FAQs for Leagreen
Is Leagreen in the area you cover?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Leagreen is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Leagreen?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
How do I book a survey in Leagreen?
It’s easiest to call 07833 053749 or email us. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we will take it from there. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Will the camera show exactly where the water is?
No, not on its own. It shows temperature, and wet materials frequently behave differently from dry ones. We confirm what it suggests with moisture readings.
What’s in the survey report?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, with photographs throughout. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too, so you know exactly what was covered.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
