Thermal roof survey in Angmering-on-Sea
Wet insulation under a flat roof covering holds heat for longer than dry. So a wet patch can show as a warmer or cooler area on the camera. This can give an idea of how far water has travelled beneath the membrane, which is hard to judge by eye. We then check those areas with moisture readings. Common reasons to book are areas of a flat roof that may hold water and moisture around outlets and upstands, on flat roofs, insulated roof spaces and commercial roofs.
Villages like Angmering-on-Sea frequently stand in open country, where wind can be strong. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Different roofs, different checks
Pitched slate and tile roofs
Inside the loft space, thermal images can help with damp around stacks, valleys and roof windows. We check any patterns with moisture readings.
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
Water under felt or asphalt can stay hidden for years. Thermal imaging helps suggest where it is, given suitable conditions on the day.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Angmering-on-Sea
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, from shops and offices to industrial units. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
If you own several properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To arrange surveys for several addresses, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What we can’t see
It’s a careful look at the roof, not the whole story. The main limits are:
- What’s inside walls or under coverings, without opening up
- Readings unaffected by sun, shade or reflections
- A formal energy assessment
If you’re not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book. The full list of what we check.

The survey, step by step
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the roof space if there is safe access. In total, it takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. Somewhere as small as Angmering-on-Sea, access is frequently the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- 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
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Jot down any questions you want answered

Our price is from £400, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so ring 07833 053749 or email us with the details.

Useful tips for Angmering-on-Sea property owners
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Keep the report to compare against after any repair
- Check outlets after heavy rain
- Heat the home normally on the days before
- Check from ground level or a window, never by climbing
Buyers can use the findings when talking to the seller or agent. It is your decision how to use it, whether that’s asking for work or discussing the price.
Watch for new damp patches on ceilings beneath the roof. Early action keeps insulation from staying wet.
FAQs for Angmering-on-Sea
Is Angmering-on-Sea within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
How do I find out if my home in Angmering-on-Sea is listed?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Can you do a thermal survey in any weather?
The weather makes a real difference. A sunny day beforehand, a dry surface and calm air all help. Rain, wind and heavy cloud can weaken the patterns, so we talk through the forecast when you book.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. Our survey isn’t a structural engineer’s report, and it does not include calculations. We will recommend an engineer if we see signs that call for one.
How long will you be at the property?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof, but most surveys take an hour or two for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. The report is sent afterwards by email.
How does a thermal imaging roof survey work?
The images show how warm or cool each part of the surface is. Differences can suggest wet areas, missing insulation or heat loss, and we check them with moisture readings.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Drones, thermal imaging and Angmering-on-Sea roofs
Angmering-on-Sea lies within about 1 mile of the sea. 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.
Ecclesden Manor lies about 1.7 miles north, so building around Angmering-on-Sea goes back a long way. Older roofs nearby can be steep and hard to see from ground level, and a survey from the air or with a thermal camera doesn’t touch the roof itself. If you look after a building such as East Preston Infant School, a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near The Parish Church of St Mary, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.
Angmering-on-Sea is about 1 mile south-east of Rustington, in West Sussex. Angmering-on-Sea gets the same service as everywhere else we work: a careful inspection, photographs and a written report. We cover towns and villages across West Sussex. For surveys nearby, see our Brighton page.
