Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Luccombe Village
Thermal imaging is part of our Premium Survey, which starts from £400. It also includes a drone inspection where applicable, a structural analysis and a same-day report. There is an in-person consultation as well, plus a follow-up 12 months later. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a note of what you’ve noticed. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size. Common reasons to book are water getting in at parapets and stacks and damp that repairs haven’t cured, on pitched roof slopes, loft conversions and insulated roof spaces.
Older buildings in small places like Luccombe Village may be listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on the roof, so it is a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof, before anyone decides what work it needs. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Signs you need a thermal roof survey in Luccombe Village
After a long-running leak, insulation under a flat roof can stay wet. Knowing how much of the roof is affected helps decide between a local repair and more. Thermal images and moisture readings together can show the likely extent.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
- Damp around roof outlets and upstands
- Heat escaping through the roof
- Leaks far from where the stain appears
A roof leak in a hotel or guest house around Luccombe Village means lost rooms as well as repairs.

What we do, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes about one to two hours for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. In a small place like Luccombe Village, access is usually the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You tell us about the roof and any damp, leaks or cold rooms.
- The weather and surface conditions are recorded.
- We inspect the roof and take thermal images during the same visit.

Before we arrive

Drones, thermal imaging and Luccombe Village roofs
Luccombe Village is within about 1 mile of the coast. 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. A number of the island’s villages keep thatched roofs on older buildings, and the whole island is open to sea air and wind. Where a roof is steep, tall or hard to see from the ground, drone photos and thermal images add detail.
Rylstone Manor lies about 0.7 miles north, so building around Luccombe Village goes back a long way. Photos from the air and thermal images let an old roof be checked without anyone disturbing it. The streets around a church such as St Blasius Church are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that is where a view from the air or with a thermal camera helps.
Luccombe Village is about 7 miles south of Ryde, in the Isle of Wight. We carry out thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Luccombe Village and nearby. We cover towns and villages across the Isle of Wight. There’s also a page for Portsmouth.

Questions from Luccombe Village
Do you cover smaller places like Luccombe Village?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Luccombe Village?
It depends on the exact address and the weather on the day. Luccombe Village is about 3 miles from Sandown Airport, so the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions around it before we fly. Strong wind or heavy rain also stops a small drone flying, and the rest of the survey does not depend on the drone.
Which survey includes thermal imaging?
Our Premium Survey, from £400, includes thermal imaging. An in-person consultation and a follow-up 12 months later are included too. For bigger commercial roofs, we quote on size.
What will the report tell me?
Written findings with photos, explaining the condition of the roof, any defects and our recommendations, with the most urgent first where relevant. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check; Premium adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable and structural analysis.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
Will thermal imaging find my leak?
It can help narrow down where water may be getting in. Patterns can suggest where trapped water has spread. We combine it with a visual inspection and moisture readings because the camera cannot confirm water on its own.
