Thermal roof survey in Coolham
Our Premium Survey, from £400, brings together a full roof inspection and thermal imaging. You also get a drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and a report on the same day. An in-person consultation and a 12-month follow-up are included too. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form 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 damp that repairs haven’t cured and gaps in loft insulation, on pitched roof slopes, loft conversions and flat roofs.
Older buildings in small places like Coolham may be listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care, before anyone decides what work it needs. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Practical tips
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. Our suggestions:
- Keep the report to compare against after any repair
- Keep outlets and gutters clear to stop water sitting
- Ask us about the forecast if rain is expected
- Don’t climb onto the roof to look for leaks yourself
Once we’ve been, the thermal images, photos and readings go into a single report. Each image is explained in plain words, with our recommendations. Premium reports are sent the same day.
Consider a repeat survey after major work on the roof in suitable weather.
What a thermal roof survey does not cover
In fairness, a roof survey has limits:
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer
- Readings unaffected by sun, shade or reflections
- A formal energy assessment

Landlords, agents and block managers in Coolham
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, putting the urgent items at the top.
Landlords and letting agents in Coolham book surveys as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photographs, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
How it works
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. Most surveys take an hour or two at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. For a village or hamlet like Coolham, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect what can be seen safely, inside and out.
- We go through the roof, the problem and the weather expected on the day.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe positions.
- 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.
- Each image is set beside a normal photo and explained in the report.
Before the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Note where any stains or damp appear

Advice
Why get it checked now?
If a big flat roof may need replacing, knowing the wet areas first is useful. Thermal imaging, checked with moisture readings, gives a clearer picture before you commit. For older village homes like those around Coolham, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, which starts from £400, including VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.

Roof by roof
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
Many single-ply and EPDM roofs sit on insulation boards. If water gets under them, thermal imaging can suggest which boards are wet.
Pitched slate and tile roofs
Even on pitched roofs, the camera can point to heat loss and some damp. The report explains what the images can tell you and what they can’t.
Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Coolham
Do you cover smaller places like Coolham?
Yes, Coolham is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Do you cover Coolham?
Yes, Coolham is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Coolham as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is thermal imaging useful on pitched roofs?
It can show heat loss and some damp, but it has more limits there. Our report is clear about what can be read from them, and we check them with a visual inspection and moisture readings.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We check the roof, not the whole building, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
How do I arrange a thermal roof survey in Coolham?
It is easiest to phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we will recommend the right survey. We survey on weekdays and at weekends.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when you book.
Flying and imaging in Coolham
Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Steep or complicated roofs are frequently hard to see from ground level, which is where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help. If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
If you look after a building such as William Penn School, a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit. If you live in an older home near St Mary's Mission Church, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where photos from the air and thermal images help.
