Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Stonymarsh
Thermal imaging works best in the right conditions. It is useful to have a sunny day beforehand, a dry surface and calm air. Rain, wind and cloud can all make the patterns weaker. We will discuss the weather with you when booking, and our report notes the conditions and how they affected what we saw. If you’re worried about damp patches with no obvious cause and gaps in loft insulation, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on flat roofs, ceilings below the roof and commercial roofs alike.
In a small place like Stonymarsh, open ground can mean strong wind. A small drone cannot fly safely in high 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.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

How the survey works
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey usually takes between one and two hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. In a hamlet or village like Stonymarsh, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We go through the roof, the problem and the weather expected on the day.
- 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.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
Before the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Tell us where we can park nearby

Thermal roof surveys in Stonymarsh: local notes
Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. The wider area around Stonymarsh has a long history of building, with Mottisfont Abbey about 0.5 miles west. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Andrew, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that is where a view by drone or thermal camera helps.
Stonymarsh is about 4 miles north-west of Romsey, in Hampshire. Wherever you are in Stonymarsh, we can carry out thermal roof surveys at your property, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.

Can I check my roof myself?
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in.
Before and after the survey
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Check the loft can be reached safely
- Photograph damp patches with the date
- Keep a record of when stains appear
- Don’t climb onto the roof to look for leaks yourself
After the visit, we put the thermal images, photographs and moisture readings into one report. Each image is explained in plain words, alongside what we recommend. Premium reports are sent the same day.
Make sure loft insulation covers the whole area and hasn’t been disturbed. Insulation is often moved when people work in the roof space.

What we look for on each type of roof
GRP fibreglass roofs
GRP roofs are laid over timber boards, so trapped moisture can affect the deck. Thermal imaging can suggest where that may be happening.
Pitched slate and tile roofs
On pitched roofs, slates and tiles over a ventilated space can mask what’s happening underneath. We back up what the camera shows with a look in the loft where we can.
