FAQs for Almodington
Will you come out to Almodington?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Almodington?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
When does the report arrive?
The Premium Survey report comes the same day, the Standard within 24–48 hours and the Basic within 48 hours. All of them come by email.
Will thermal imaging find my leak?
It’s a useful tool for tracing leaks, but not the only one. What it shows depends on the weather and the roof. If the source cannot be confirmed, we will say what could help next, like electronic leak detection.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not unless it is safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable cover most of what’s needed.
Will you photograph what you find?
Yes. The report includes photos of what we found.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
Thermal roof survey in Almodington: what you get
Thermal imaging works best in the right conditions. It helps to have a sunny day beforehand, a dry surface and calm air. Rain, a strong wind or heavy cloud can make the images less clear. We’ll discuss the weather with you when booking, and the report explains how the conditions on the day affected the results. If you’ve noticed stains that keep coming back and damp around roof outlets and upstands, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Almodington, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you can’t get from the ground. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Flying and imaging in Almodington
Almodington lies within about 3 miles of the sea, and wind off the sea can be strong. Calm, dry conditions after a sunny day suit thermal imaging best, so the visit is planned around the forecast. Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Earnley Church, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement. Anyone responsible for a site like Birdham CE Primary School will know that a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.

What happens on the day
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes about one to two hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. You’re welcome to ask questions while we are there. Cottages and farmhouses around Almodington often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- We look over the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- Thermal images are taken across the roof and, where there is safe access, in the loft.
- 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
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

Practical tips
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Keep a record of when stains appear
- Photograph damp patches with the date
- Clear leaves from outlets and gutters each autumn
- Talk to us about the weather when booking
We note the weather and surface conditions, and how they may have affected the results. That way you know how much weight to give each finding.
Keep an eye on ceilings under the roof for new stains. Catching a leak early stops insulation getting soaked.
Checking the roof from the ground
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Almodington
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer, so they’re priced to suit.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, with the most urgent items set out first.
What affects the price in Almodington
We confirm the price for your roof before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
Our price is from £400, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, access and the package you choose.
Getting in touch
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Anything about access we should know
Unsure which package suits your roof? It is easiest to call 07833 053749 or send us an email and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We will explain the options and the price.
