Thermal Roof Survey in Jarvis Brook
Wondering about the roof at a property in Jarvis Brook? You can book a thermal roof survey in Jarvis Brook and across East Sussex, with plain-English findings.
- Missing or slipped insulation
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
- Damp around chimneys and parapets
What happens on the day
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. Somewhere as small as Jarvis Brook, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe positions.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
Booking a survey
Getting a price is simple: just call 07833 053749 or email us and give us some details about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

Thermal roof survey in Jarvis Brook: what you get
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. The difference shows most clearly when it’s warm inside and cold outside. The report shows the images and explains what they may mean. We do not give energy ratings or heat loss calculations. If you are worried about water that travels before it shows and damp around roof outlets and upstands, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Villages like Jarvis Brook frequently stand in open country, where wind can be strong. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Can I check my roof myself?
It’s useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.

What a survey costs
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
All our prices include VAT. Thermal roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. You will know the price for your survey before booking.
What to let us know when you get in touch
The more you tell us, the easier it is to price the survey. When you get in touch, it helps to mention:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- The address and postcode of the property
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Leave it or get it looked at?
For buyers, a thermal survey adds detail that a visual inspection can’t give. Hidden problems found before exchange can be raised with the seller or agent. For an older or listed building in a place like Jarvis Brook, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £400, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
Why us?
- Clear package prices, including VAT
- 98% customer satisfaction
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, putting the urgent items at the top.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when booking and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
When you need someone else
Every survey has limits, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Bear these in mind:
- Reliable images in rain, strong wind or on a wet roof surface
- A formal energy assessment
- Hidden layers that need to be opened up to check
If you’re not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we will give you a straight answer. The full list of what we check.
What we look at

Airspace, weather and Jarvis Brook roofs
Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Older houses across Sussex often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging on their upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings, alongside oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Where a roof is steep, tall or hard to see from ground level, drone photos and thermal images add detail.
If you look after a building such as Jarvis Brook Primary School, a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit. If you live in an older home near St Michael & All Angels, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where photos from the air and thermal images help. Groombridge Place, about 4.7 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Jarvis Brook. Aerial photos and thermal images let an old roof be checked without anyone disturbing it.
