East Harting Thermal Roof Survey
Know where you stand with the roof before you decide what to do next. Thermal roof surveys in East Harting.
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
- Thin or uneven insulation in the roof
- Damp around chimneys and parapets
What this survey can’t tell you
Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, and that sets some limits:
- An energy rating for the building
- Confirming water without moisture readings
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer

How a thermal roof survey works in East Harting
We present each thermal image next to a normal photo of the same area, so it’s easy to see which part of the roof each one shows. Each one comes with an explanation, the moisture readings and our recommendation. Premium reports are sent the same day. You can talk the findings through with us at the in-person consultation. There’s a 12-month follow-up as well. If you’ve noticed thin or uneven insulation in the roof and areas of a flat roof that may hold water, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a small place like East Harting, open ground can mean strong wind. A small drone can’t fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. A change in the forecast can mean moving the visit to another day.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for instance when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Why get it checked now?
For buyers, a thermal survey adds detail that a visual inspection cannot give. Finding hidden moisture before exchange gives you facts to raise with the seller. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like East Harting, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Thermal roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, with VAT included, and we can help you choose.

What we are asked to look at in East Harting
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.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Leaks that are hard to trace
- Water getting in at parapets and stacks
- Stains that keep coming back
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
Take a building like Harting CofE Primary School: a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Will the report include photos?
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
East Harting questions
Do you carry out roof surveys in East Harting?
We do. The survey and report are the same in East Harting as anywhere else.
Is my home in East Harting listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
What’s in the survey report?
A written report with photos, explaining the condition of the roof, any defects and our recommendations, by urgency where it matters. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection and a structural check, and the Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable and structural analysis.
How fast do I get the report?
Each package has its own report time. Basic: within 48 hours. Standard: 24 to 48 hours. Premium: the same day. Mention any deadline when booking.
Can a thermal survey trace a roof leak?
It can help narrow down where water may be getting in. Water can travel under a covering before it shows inside, and temperature patterns can help follow it. It’s used alongside a close inspection and moisture readings, as the camera alone can’t prove a leak.
What’s the best way to book?
Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Mention it when you contact us and we will explain what’s needed.
Flying and imaging in East Harting
About 1.7 miles south-west lies Uppark, a reminder of how long the area around East Harting has been built on. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St Mary & St Gabriel, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that’s where a view from above or with a thermal imager helps.
