Easebourne Thermal Roof Survey
Thermal roof surveys in Easebourne from an independent, experienced roof surveyor. Over 5,000 surveys and 20+ years behind us across London and South East England.
- Wet areas near outlets and upstands
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
Drones, thermal imaging and Easebourne roofs
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings. Steep or complicated roofs are frequently hard to see from ground level, which is where aerial photos and thermal images help. Within a mile and a half or so of Easebourne there are several hotels, and hotels, like offices and blocks of flats, frequently have flat roofs. For hotels and other commercial buildings, large roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images show the most at once.
Take a building like Easebourne CofE Primary School: a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit. A roof leak in a hotel or guest house around Easebourne means lost rooms as well as repairs, so it pays to find faults before guests do.
Easebourne is about 9 miles east of Petersfield, in West Sussex. Easebourne is part of the area we cover and the surrounding area as part of our work across London and South East England. Our West Sussex coverage includes Easebourne. You can also see our page for Guildford.

About our thermal roof survey in Easebourne
Thermal imaging works best in the right conditions. It’s useful 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 will discuss the weather with you when booking, and the report explains how the conditions on the day affected the results. We survey commercial roofs, loft conversions and ceilings below the roof, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are cold spots on ceilings under the roof and damp that repairs haven’t cured.
In a village or hamlet like Easebourne, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what cannot be reached safely. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

When you need someone else
We only report everything that’s safely in view on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Proving moisture from the images alone
- What’s inside walls or under coverings, without opening up
- Reliable images in rain, strong wind or on a wet roof surface
If you are not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we will give you a straight answer. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
Roof types and parts we check
- Pitched roof slopes
- Flat roofs

- Ceilings below the roof
Common questions in Easebourne
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Easebourne?
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.
Is Easebourne in the area you cover?
Yes, Easebourne is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
Will the camera show exactly where the water is?
Thermal imaging shows temperature rather than water. Wet insulation holds heat longer than dry, so it can stand out, but we check each finding with moisture readings.
Does the report include photos?
Yes. We photograph the roof as we go, and the report uses them to show each finding alongside our recommendations.
How do I arrange a thermal roof survey in Easebourne?
Simply call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.

What happens on the day
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. The whole visit usually takes between one and two hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. In a hamlet or village like Easebourne, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You let us know about the roof and any damp, leaks or cold rooms.
- The weather and surface conditions are recorded.
- A full inspection and thermal imaging are carried out together.
- Moisture readings are used to check what the camera shows.
- The Premium report reaches you the same day, and we go through it with you in person.
Getting ready for the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
Getting a price
You can call us seven days a week. To book or ask a question, phone 07833 053749 or email us.

How the survey changes by roof type
Pitched slate and tile roofs
Thermal images of a pitched roof can still show heat loss patterns and some damp areas. We explain what can and can’t be read from them.
GRP fibreglass roofs
Glossy GRP can reflect heat. We take that into account and check findings with moisture readings.
How we price thermal roof surveys
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
Thermal roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we’ll tell you which fits.
What we need to know
A little information up front helps. It is useful to include:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Easebourne
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.
If you own several properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To discuss a number of properties, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Signs you need a thermal roof survey in Easebourne
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. A thermal survey, checked with moisture readings, can give a much clearer picture.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Leaks that are hard to trace
- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
- Missing or slipped insulation
Cowdray House lies about 0.6 miles south, so building around Easebourne goes back a long way. Older roofs nearby can be steep and hard to see from ground level, and a survey from above or with a thermal imager doesn’t touch the roof itself.
What to check before booking
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Which limits apply to the survey
