Thermal Roof Survey in Furner's Green
Need a thermal roof survey in Furner's Green? We can help, with findings in writing and pictures to back them up. Weekday and weekend visits available.
- Water that travels before it shows
- Thin or uneven insulation in the roof
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
What a survey costs
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.

How a thermal roof survey works in Furner's Green
Thermal imaging is useful when a damp patch has no clear cause. Water can travel some distance under a roof covering before it shows inside, and the camera can show patterns that help us follow it. The images are used alongside a visual inspection and moisture readings, so no conclusion rests on one method alone. We survey ceilings below the roof, flat roofs and insulated roof spaces, and people most frequently book us about water getting in at parapets and stacks and heat escaping through the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Furner's Green, 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.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

Airspace, weather and Furner's Green roofs
The wider area around Furner's Green has a long history of building, with Priest House about 5 miles north-west. 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 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 All Saints, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Danehill Church of England Primary School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.
Furner's Green is about 5 miles east of Haywards Heath, in East Sussex. Furner's Green gets the same service as everywhere else we work: a close look at everything that’s safely in view, photos and a clear written report. Across East Sussex, we cover Furner's Green.

Furner's Green: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Furner's Green?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Is my home in Furner's Green listed or in a conservation area?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Which survey includes thermal imaging?
It comes with our Premium Survey, which starts from £400. That also includes a full inspection, a drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and a same-day report.
Can a thermal camera see water?
No, not on its own. It shows temperature, and wet materials frequently behave differently from dry ones. That’s why we check any patterns with moisture readings.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you as you book.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Can a thermal survey trace a roof leak?
It often helps show where to look. Water can travel under a covering before it shows inside, and temperature patterns can help follow it. We combine it with a visual inspection and moisture readings because the camera can’t confirm water on its own.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Furner's Green
A poorly insulated roof loses heat year after year. Thermal images can show where insulation is missing or has slipped, so you know where to put things right. In a place like Furner's Green, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

How the survey changes by roof type
Pitched slate and tile roofs
Slate and tile roofs are often harder to read with a thermal camera, because of the air space beneath. We back up what the camera shows with a look in the loft where we can.
Loft insulation
Insulation frequently gets moved during work in the loft. Thermal images can show where it has been pushed aside.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That’s where a survey comes in.
For landlords and managing agents
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.
What we do, step by step
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit typically takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. Somewhere like Furner's Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We start with the roof, its history and any signs of damp or heat loss.
- 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.
- You get the report the same day, with an in-person consultation to follow.
Before we arrive
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
