Thermal imaging roof survey in Little Posbrook, Hampshire
Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Little Posbrook. We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
- Cold areas below the roof
- Gaps in loft insulation
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. In a small place like Little Posbrook, access is normally 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.
- We take moisture readings where the images suggest a problem.
- Each image is set beside a normal photo and explained in the report.
Preparing for the visit
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
Getting a price
If you’re buying, it’s useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.
Advice
Thermal roof survey in Little Posbrook: what you get
Thermal imaging is a useful tool, but it has limits. It shows surface temperature, and things like sun, shade, reflections and wind all affect the readings. 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. Where something cannot be confirmed, we say what would help next. We survey flat roofs, loft conversions and ceilings below the roof, and people most frequently book us about wet areas near outlets and upstands and ceilings that feel colder in places.
Some older homes in villages like Little Posbrook are listed or in a conservation area. A look from above or with a thermal imager 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.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

What we look for on each type of roof
Pitched slate and tile roofs
From inside the loft, the camera can help with damp around chimneys, valleys and roof windows. We check any patterns with moisture readings.
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
On felt and asphalt flat roofs, wet insulation can show as a temperature difference across the surface. We check those patches with moisture readings.
Questions from Little Posbrook
Will you come out to Little Posbrook?
Yes, Little Posbrook is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Little Posbrook?
The answer turns on the exact location and the conditions on the day. Solent Airport is about 3 miles away, so we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before any flight. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather.
Is thermal imaging included in your surveys?
Our Premium Survey, from £400, includes thermal imaging. You also get an in-person consultation and a 12-month follow-up. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Does the report include photographs?
Yes. Photos are taken throughout the survey, and they go into the written report.
Can you check my loft insulation with a thermal camera?
The camera can point to heat loss and gaps in insulation. We do not give energy ratings or heat loss calculations, but the report shows where to look more closely.
What do I do with the report?
You will receive the report by email, and what you do next is up to you: raise it with a seller, send it to an insurer, brief a roofer or share it with a managing agent.
Why act early in Little Posbrook
Trapped water can harm decks, timbers and ceilings the longer it stays. Surveying sooner gives you more choice about what to do. Older and listed buildings around Little Posbrook may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £400, including VAT.
Why book with us
- More than 5,000 surveys completed
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Packages from £150, with VAT included

Practical tips
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Use the report as a baseline for later checks
- Clear a path to the loft hatch before we arrive
- Check outlets after heavy rain
- Do not switch the heating off ahead of the visit
If you are buying, the report gives you specific points to raise with the seller or agent. What you do with it is up to you, whether that’s asking for work or discussing the price.
Keep outlets and gutters clear so water drains off the roof quickly. The less water sits, the less can find its way beneath.

Thermal roof surveys in Little Posbrook: local notes
The coast is about 1 mile or less from Little Posbrook. Clear thermal results need a dry roof and little wind after a sunny day, so the date depends on the forecast. If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
Hotels and guest houses near Little Posbrook cannot easily close rooms for a leak, so it’s worth knowing the roof’s condition. Take a building like Stubbington House School: a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.

When to book a survey in Little Posbrook
Buyers sometimes want more than a visual look at the roof. The Premium Survey brings thermal imaging and a drone inspection where applicable, with a report the same day, which suits a purchase that is moving quickly.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
- Leaks that are hard to trace
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where aerial photos and thermal images help.
