Thermal imaging roof survey in Angmering, West Sussex
Thermal imaging to find moisture and heat loss patterns in a roof in Angmering, with drones and thermal imaging where they help. Get in touch for a price.
- Leaks far from where the stain appears
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
- Damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys
What a survey costs
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Thermal roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
What we need to know
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- The kind of building and roof involved
Our phone lines are open seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. For a price or to book, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Thermal roof survey in Angmering: what you get
Our Premium Survey, from £400, brings together a full roof inspection and thermal imaging. It also includes a drone inspection where it applies, a structural analysis and a same-day report. There’s an in-person consultation as well, plus a follow-up 12 months later. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a note of what you’ve noticed. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size. We’re often asked to look into leaks far from where the stain appears and ceilings that feel colder in places, on commercial roofs, ceilings below the roof and pitched roof slopes.
In smaller places like Angmering, many homes are bungalows and houses with roofs you can partly see from the ground. The parts you can’t see, such as rear slopes, valleys and chimney tops, are where a drone or thermal camera adds detail. Both depend on the weather on the day, as calm, dry conditions suit both. Close-up images often show wear on ridges, verges and flashings that can’t be judged properly from the ground.
It isn’t only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

What a thermal roof survey does not cover
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- Reliable images in rain, strong wind or on a wet roof surface
- A formal energy assessment
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer

Roofs we survey in Angmering

Flying and imaging in Angmering
Angmering lies within about 2 miles of the sea, and coastal wind can be strong. Clear thermal results need a dry roof and little wind after a sunny day, so the date depends on the forecast. Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
Take an older house close to The Parish Church of St Margaret: tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Wilfrids Catholic Primary School, a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.
Angmering is about 4 miles west of Worthing, in West Sussex. We survey roofs in Angmering and the rest of West Sussex. Angmering is one of the places in West Sussex where we work. Our Brighton page covers surveys nearby.

How the survey changes by roof type
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
On larger commercial single-ply roofs, thermal imaging can help target moisture readings. It focuses the survey on the areas that matter.
Parapets, valleys and junctions
Junctions where roofs meet walls, parapets and valleys are common places for water to get in. The camera can help show damp around these junctions.
How it works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photographs. On timing, most surveys take between one and two hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. With a bit of garden around a house, as there frequently is around Angmering, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. The loft, where there’s safe access, completes the picture.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe positions.
- Thermal images are taken across the roof and, where there is safe access, in the loft.
- We take moisture readings where the images suggest a problem.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
Before we arrive
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Keep pets in another room
- Leave side gates unlocked

Common questions in Angmering
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Angmering?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you cover Angmering?
Yes, Angmering is within the area we cover. We work right across London and the South East. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We inspect whatever is safely visible: from ground level, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
What will the report tell me?
You get our findings in writing, part by part, with photos, finishing with recommendations. Points are put by urgency where it matters.
Which survey includes thermal imaging?
Our Premium Survey, from £400, includes thermal imaging. An in-person consultation and a follow-up 12 months later are included too. For bigger commercial roofs, we quote on size.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. We check the parts we are given access to, and the report makes that clear.
Does the weather affect a thermal survey?
Conditions on the day have a big effect on what the camera can show. A dry surface, little wind and a sunny spell beforehand help most. Our report notes the conditions and how they affected the findings.
Other services in Angmering
Before and after the survey
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Keep outlets and gutters clear to stop water sitting
- Remember the conditions on the day affect the results
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Use the report as a baseline for later checks
You can pass the report to a roofer so they can see where the problem areas seem to be. Because the images are paired with photos, it’s easy to find each area on the roof.
After repairs or a new covering, a later survey can confirm things are dry, when the conditions are suitable.
What we are asked to look at in Angmering
Flat roofs that have leaked for a while can have wet insulation under the covering. 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.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys
- Damp around roof outlets and upstands
- Heat escaping through the roof
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
Historic houses such as Ecclesden Manor, about 0.4 miles east, show how far back building around Angmering goes. A drone or thermal survey doesn’t involve any work on the roof, which suits older buildings.
