Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Jury's Gap
We present each thermal image next to a normal photo of the same area, making it clear where on the roof each pattern is. We explain what each pattern may mean, what the moisture readings found and what we recommend. Premium reports are sent the same day. If you have questions, the in-person consultation gives you time to go through them. There’s a 12-month follow-up as well. If you’ve noticed thin or uneven insulation in the roof and damp that repairs haven’t cured, we can find out what’s behind it, on ceilings below the roof, pitched roof slopes and flat roofs alike.
In a small place like Jury's Gap, open ground can mean strong wind. Strong wind or heavy rain stops a small drone flying, and calm conditions also suit thermal imaging best. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Airspace, weather and Jury's Gap roofs
Jury's Gap is within about 1 mile of the coast. Thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof surface and little wind, so the date is chosen with the forecast in mind. Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs, and the county’s older buildings include oast houses and Wealden hall houses. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these.
Lamb House lies about 4.4 miles west, so building around Jury's Gap goes back a long way. Older roofs nearby can be steep and hard to see from the ground, and a survey from above or with a thermal imager doesn’t touch the roof itself.
Jury's Gap is about 12 miles east of Hastings, in East Sussex. Jury's Gap is one of many places we visit across East Sussex, for houses, flats and commercial buildings. Jury's Gap is one of the places in East Sussex we cover. For surveys nearby, see our Maidstone page.

What happens on the day
We will ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes an hour or two for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Cottages and farmhouses around Jury's Gap frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We start with the roof, its history and any signs of damp or heat loss.
- We check the conditions and note how they may affect the images.
- 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 the survey
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand

Advice
What we are asked to look at in Jury's Gap
Building owners and managing agents use thermal surveys to plan work on larger flat roofs. Patterns can point to wet areas and show which parts look sound, so moisture readings can be targeted.
We are frequently asked to look at:
- Leaks far from where the stain appears
- Damp around roof outlets and upstands
- Thin or uneven insulation in the roof
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
Around Jury's Gap, as everywhere, small roof faults are simplest to sort before they let water in.

Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Jury's Gap
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Jury's Gap?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Do you cover Jury's Gap?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Jury's Gap is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
What’s in the report?
Written findings with photographs, covering the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend, with the most urgent first where relevant. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection and a structural check, and the Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable and structural analysis.
Does thermal imaging work on slate and tile roofs?
It can show heat loss and some damp, but it has more limits there. We explain what the images can and cannot tell you, and we check them with a visual inspection and moisture readings.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and visible signs like sagging are noted, but calculations and an engineer’s opinion are outside what we do. If one is needed, the report says so.
Can you do a thermal survey in any weather?
Conditions on the day have a big effect on what the camera can show. Dry, calm weather after some sun gives the best chance of clear images. We record the conditions in the report, so you know how much weight to give the images.
Checking the roof from ground level
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
Tips from our surveys
Small things make a difference. Our tips:
- Use the report as a baseline for later checks
- Note where damp appears and after what weather
- Remember the conditions on the day affect the results
- Clear a path to the loft hatch before we arrive
If the images suggest moisture that can’t be confirmed, we will say what would help next, for instance electronic leak detection or a roofer opening up a small section.
Clear outlets and gutters regularly, so water does not sit on the roof. Less standing water means less chance of it getting under the covering.
Prices for thermal roof surveys in Jury's Gap
We confirm the exact price before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Roof area
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Thermal roof survey starts from £400, including VAT.
Getting in touch
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- What made you get in touch
- What kind of property and roof it is
- When you need the report by
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
Our price is from £400, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details.
