Sample Thermal Roof Inspection Report
See exactly how our engineer-interpreted thermal roof reports work.
Download a full sample of our thermal & visual roof inspection report – including engineer commentary, RPL severity grading and clear recommendations – so you can see how GB Tech Aerial turns aerial data into actionable decisions.
Built for facilities managers, insurers, surveyors and roofing contractors who need more than just drone photos.
What makes this report different?
Most drone providers hand over a folder of images and leave interpretation to you. Our reports are designed and signed off by experienced engineers & surveyors, giving you:
- Clear identification of roof leaks, insulation failures and damp ingress.
- Root-cause commentary – not just “hot spots” and arrows.
- RPL severity grading so you can prioritise repairs across a portfolio.
- Actionable repair recommendations in plain language for non-technical stakeholders.
- Portfolio-ready outputs you can share with clients, boards and insurers.
The sample report on this page is based on a pitched commercial roof with localised moisture ingress – a typical scenario we see in warehouses, light industrial units and retail buildings.
What you’ll see inside the sample report
The sample building condition report walks through a real-world thermal and visual investigation of a roof with suspected moisture ingress. Every page is structured so a non-technical stakeholder can understand the issue and act on it.
1. Executive summary & roof overview
High-level summary outlining the building, inspection objectives and key findings in one view, including:
- Site and roof description.
- Scope of the survey and methods used (thermal & RGB).
- Headline issues and risk rating at a glance.
2. RPL severity grading
Each observation is assigned an RPL grading (Risk / Priority / Likelihood) so you can:
- Rank issues from critical to minor.
- Plan budgets and maintenance windows sensibly.
- Communicate risk clearly to non-technical stakeholders.
3. Observation pages with images, annotations & recommendations
For each defect, the report shows:
- Thermal imagery with clear overlays and callouts.
- Matching RGB imagery for easy location on site.
- Engineer commentary explaining what the anomaly means in practice.
- Likely root cause (for example trapped moisture or insulation breakdown).
- Recommended next steps and suggested timeframes for remediation.
4. Portfolio-ready outputs
The report is structured so you can quickly share it with asset managers, insurers and contractors:
- Clearly numbered observations with unique IDs.
- Tabular summaries suitable for import into CAFM / asset management systems.
- Plain-English descriptions that work in board packs and client reports.
