Thermal Roof Survey in Guestling Green
Not sure what state the roof is in? You can book a thermal roof survey in Guestling Green and across East Sussex, with plain-English findings.
- Stains that keep coming back
- Thin or uneven insulation in the roof
- Water getting in at parapets and stacks
Tips from our surveys
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Ask us about the forecast if rain is expected
- Keep the heating on as usual before a heat loss survey
- Check the loft can be reached safely
- Keep outlets and gutters clear to stop water sitting
We note the weather and surface conditions, and how they may have affected the results. That way you know how much weight to give each finding.
Keep outlets and gutters clear so water drains off the roof quickly. Less standing water means less chance of it getting under the covering.
About our thermal roof survey in Guestling Green
What a thermal camera can show depends a lot on the weather. A sunny day before the survey, a dry roof surface and little wind all help. Rain, a strong wind or heavy cloud can make the images less clear. We’ll discuss the weather with you when booking, and the report explains how the conditions on the day affected the results. If you are worried about heat escaping through the roof and leaks that are hard to trace, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on ceilings below the roof, pitched roof slopes and loft conversions alike.
Villages like Guestling Green often stand in open country, where wind can be strong. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. The visit is planned around the forecast, along with the journey and access. A change in the forecast can mean moving the visit to another day.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Can I check my roof myself?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when booking.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Guestling Green
A damp patch that keeps coming back typically has a cause that hasn’t been found. Thermal imaging with moisture readings can help narrow it down, rather than more guesswork. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.

Drones, thermal imaging and Guestling Green roofs
Guestling Green is within about 2 miles of the coast, and wind off the sea can be strong. Clear thermal results need a dry roof and little wind after a sunny day, so the date depends on the forecast. In Sussex, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, frequently with tile-hanging on the walls below. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings, alongside oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Older coverings on steep or tall roofs are hard to judge from below, so close-up aerial photos and thermal images help.
If you live in an older home near St Laurence's Church, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that is where a view by drone or thermal camera helps. If you run a business near Priory Meadow Shopping Centre, thermal images can show trapped moisture across a wide commercial roof. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Guestling Bradshaw Church of England Primary School, big roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images show the most at once.
Guestling Green is about 4 miles north-east of Hastings, in East Sussex. Houses, flats, blocks and commercial buildings in Guestling Green can all book thermal roof surveys. Our area takes in places right across East Sussex. You can also see our page for Maidstone.

What happens on the day
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take an hour or two for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Around Guestling Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- We go through the roof, the problem and the weather expected on the day.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe positions.
- Thermal images are taken across the roof and, where there is safe access, in the loft.
- Patterns that stand out are checked with moisture readings.
- Each image is set beside a normal photo and explained in the report.
How to prepare
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
Book a survey

What affects the price in Guestling Green
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- Which survey package you book
- How big the roof is
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
What we need to know
What helps most when you contact us:

- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
Our price is from £400, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form to find out.
