Thermal roof survey in Ludgershall: what you get
Thermal imaging is frequently most useful on flat roofs, from small extensions to large commercial roofs. Patterns can suggest where water is trapped under the covering. On pitched roofs, slates and tiles over a ventilated space can hide what’s below, so we combine the camera with an inspection from the loft where there’s safe access. We survey commercial roofs, loft conversions and flat roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are leaks that are hard to trace and cold areas below the roof.
Around Ludgershall, older homes can have thin loft insulation and later additions with roofs of their own. A thermal image can show where heat is escaping or where moisture may be trapped, and drone photos show the roof surfaces themselves. Findings are checked with moisture readings where needed. Results depend on the weather, so the visit is planned around the forecast.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

When to book a survey in Ludgershall
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:
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
- Cold areas below the roof
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
- Damp around roof outlets and upstands
The streets around a church like Church of St James are often 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 the ground, and that is where a view from above or with a thermal imager helps.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Their report turnaround times
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- What the survey won’t cover
Can I check my roof myself?
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.

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.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you as you book.
Does the report include photos?
Yes. Photos are taken throughout the survey, and the report uses them to show each finding alongside our recommendations.
Airspace, weather and Ludgershall roofs
If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
Take a building like Ludgershall Castle Primary School: a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.

How it works
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey usually takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. A visit to a smaller place like Ludgershall is no different on the day: we look from ground level, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it’s safe. It’s useful to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking near the property
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Leave a clear route to the loft

Tips that help
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Keep outlets and gutters clear to stop water sitting
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Use the report as a baseline for later checks
- Do not climb onto the roof to look for leaks yourself
Many people send the report to roofers, who can then quote for the areas shown. Each thermal image is matched to a normal photo, so the areas are easy to locate.
Check loft insulation covers the whole area and hasn’t been disturbed. Gaps often appear after work in the loft.
Why act early in Ludgershall
A damp patch that keeps coming back usually has a cause that hasn’t been found. Combining the camera with moisture readings can help find it, instead of trying repair after repair. Around Ludgershall, a leak in an older house can soak into timbers and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the roof fault itself.
Our price is from £400, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, access and the package you choose.
Why us?
- PI and public liability insurance
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Drones and thermal imaging where it applies
- An independent look at the roof
