Ewhurst Thermal Roof Survey
Thermal roof surveys across Ewhurst, backed by more than 20 years’ experience. You get a clear report with photographs.
- Water getting in at parapets and stacks
- Thin or uneven insulation in the roof
- Cold areas below the roof
The survey, step by step
The visit has one job: to see as much of the roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It normally takes about 1–2 hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In a small place like Ewhurst, access is usually 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.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- We look over the roof from wherever it is safe.
- We take thermal images of the roof and of the loft where we can reach it.
- We take moisture readings where the images suggest a problem.
- Each image is set beside a normal photo and explained in the report.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
Booking a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form whenever suits you.

How a thermal roof survey works in Ewhurst
Our thermal survey records how the surface temperature varies across your roof. The patterns can suggest wet insulation, gaps in insulation or places where heat is getting out. The camera doesn’t see water itself, so findings are checked with moisture readings. Thermal imaging is included in our Premium Survey, from £400. The report also notes the conditions on the day, since they affect what the camera can show. Common reasons to book are wet insulation beneath the membrane and areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions, across ceilings below the roof, pitched roof slopes and flat roofs.
In a village or hamlet like Ewhurst, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you can’t get from ground level. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first, and the journey is planned in advance. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Ewhurst
Heat lost through a roof costs money every winter. The camera can point to gaps and thin areas in the insulation, so improvements can go where they’re needed. Older and listed buildings around Ewhurst may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.

How we price thermal roof surveys
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Roof area
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Thermal roof survey starts from £400, including VAT.
Getting in touch
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- The property’s address and postcode
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What a thermal roof survey doesn’t cover
Before booking, it is worth knowing what a survey won’t do:

FAQs for Ewhurst
Is Ewhurst in the area you cover?
Yes, Ewhurst is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How do I find out if my home in Ewhurst is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. Visible signs like deflection or sagging are recorded, but we don’t provide calculations or an engineer’s opinion. If one is needed, the report says so.
Will the survey show heat loss through my roof?
Gaps and thin areas of insulation can show up on the camera. The difference is clearest when the building is heated and it’s colder outside. Where we can reach the loft safely, we check there too.
What do I do with the report?
We email you the written report with photographs and recommendations. You can use it to talk to a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent, whichever applies.
Do you use drones?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.

It’s easiest to phone 07833 053749 or email us. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we will point you to the right survey. We survey on weekdays and at weekends.

What we are asked to look at in Ewhurst
Flat roofs that have leaked for a while can have wet insulation under the covering. Knowing how much of the roof is affected helps decide between a local repair and more. Thermal images and moisture readings together can show the likely extent.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
- Leaks that are hard to trace
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ewhurst CofE Aided Infant School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.
Before booking anyone
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- What experience they bring
- What insurance they carry
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?

Drones, thermal imaging and Ewhurst roofs
Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Peter and St Paul are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help.
