Thermal roof survey in Eridge Green
A thermal survey can point to places where heat is escaping through the roof. Gaps in loft insulation and poorly insulated areas can stand out on the images. It works best when the building is heated and it is colder outside. The report shows the images and explains what they may mean. We do not give energy ratings or heat loss calculations. If you’ve noticed patches of heat loss across the roof and damp around roof outlets and upstands, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Somewhere as small as Eridge Green, older roofs are often steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what cannot be reached safely. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
The report doesn’t just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

FAQs for Eridge Green
Is Eridge Green in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Eridge Green as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is my home in Eridge Green listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. 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.
Does the report include photographs?
Yes. Photos are part of every report, so you can see exactly what each finding refers to.
Can a thermal survey trace a roof leak?
Thermal imaging can help, alongside other checks. The results depend on conditions on the day. Where it cannot be pinned down, the report suggests a next step, like electronic leak detection.
What does the report include?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, backed by photographs. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too.
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.
Can you use a thermal camera on a sloping roof?
It can show heat loss and some damp, but it has more limits there. We explain what the images can and can’t tell you, and we check them with a visual inspection and moisture readings.
Useful tips for Eridge Green property owners
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. A few suggestions:
- Heat the home normally on the days before
- Keep dated photos of any marks on ceilings
- Clear a path to the loft hatch before we arrive
- Talk to us about the weather when booking
We note the weather and surface conditions, and how they may have affected the results. It helps you judge how firm each finding is.
Keep outlets and gutters clear so water drains off the roof quickly. Less standing water means less chance of it getting under the covering.
How the survey works
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. The whole visit normally takes between one and two hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. In a small place like Eridge Green, access is normally the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We talk through the roof, any damp or leaks, and the weather expected on the day.
- We check the roof from ground level, from windows and from the roof itself where it’s safe.
- Thermal images are taken to show differences in surface temperature.
- We check the patterns that stand out with moisture readings where there’s safe access.
- The report sets out the images, what they suggest and what we recommend.
Before the survey
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Jot down any questions you want answered

Why it is worth a survey now in Eridge Green
Heat lost through a roof costs money every winter. Thermal images can show where insulation is missing or has slipped, so improvements can go where they’re needed. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Our price is from £400, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.

What a thermal roof survey looks like in Eridge Green
If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. About 1.9 miles north-west lies Groombridge Place, a reminder of how long the area around Eridge Green has been built on. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you run a business near The Corn Exchange, thermal images can show trapped moisture across a wide commercial roof. For an older house near a landmark like Holy Trinity Church, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.

DIY checks: what’s safe
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That part is for a survey.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
What we can’t see
Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, and that sets some limits:
- Reliable images in rain, strong wind or on a wet roof surface
- Insulation values or heat loss calculations
- Whether the deck or roof structure is strong enough
