Lullington Thermal Roof Survey
Thermal imaging to find moisture and heat loss patterns in a roof for Lullington, from an experienced roof surveyor. Every survey comes with a written report and photographs.
- Wet areas near outlets and upstands
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
- Missing or slipped insulation
About our thermal roof survey in Lullington
Wet insulation under a flat roof covering holds heat for longer than dry. That means a wet area can show up as a different temperature from the rest of the roof. It helps us see how far water may have spread under the covering, something you can’t normally tell from the surface. We then check those areas with moisture readings. We survey flat roofs, loft conversions and ceilings below the roof, and common reasons people get in touch are water that travels before it shows and damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys.
In a small place like Lullington, 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. A change in the forecast can mean moving the visit to another day.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

What else we do in Lullington
The survey, step by step
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, from the ground, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where applicable. Most surveys take about one to two hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Rural addresses near Lullington can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- 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.
- We take moisture readings where the images suggest a problem.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
Getting ready for the survey
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Check the loft hatch can be reached

Advice
Can I check my roof myself?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey.
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Lullington
Do you carry out roof surveys in Lullington?
Yes. We work right across London and the South East, and Lullington is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the property.
Is Lullington within the area you cover?
Yes. Lullington is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How does a thermal imaging roof survey work?
It records surface temperature across the roof. Differences can suggest wet areas, missing insulation or heat loss, which we then check with moisture readings.
Is thermal imaging included in your surveys?
Our Premium Survey, from £400, includes thermal imaging. You also get an in-person consultation and a 12-month follow-up. For bigger commercial roofs, we quote on size.
What conditions are best for thermal imaging?
Conditions on the day have a big effect on what the camera can show. A dry surface, little wind and a sunny spell beforehand help most. Our report notes the conditions and how they affected the findings.
How soon will I get the report?
Each package has its own report time. Basic is within 48 hours, Standard is 24–48 hours and Premium is the same day. Mention any deadline when you book.
Does the report include photos?
Yes. Photos are part of every report, so you can see exactly what each finding refers to.
Tips that help
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Keep outlets and gutters clear to stop water sitting
- Keep a record of when stains appear
- Keep dated photos of any marks on ceilings
- Remember the conditions on the day affect the results
If the images suggest moisture that cannot be confirmed, we will say what would help next, such as electronic leak detection or opening up a small area.
Check loft insulation covers the whole area and hasn’t been disturbed. Gaps often appear after work in the loft.
What we are asked to look at in Lullington
After a repair, some owners want to know whether the roof has dried out. A thermal survey with moisture readings can show whether wet areas remain when the conditions on the day are suitable.
Common reasons to book include:
- Leaks far from where the stain appears
- Cold spots on ceilings under the roof
- Damp around chimneys and parapets
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
Alfriston Clergy House lies about 0.3 miles north-west, so building around Lullington goes back a long way. Photos from the air and thermal images let an old roof be checked without anyone disturbing it.
What to check before booking
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Their report turnaround times
Airspace, weather and Lullington roofs
The coast is about 3 miles or less from Lullington, and coastal wind can be strong. Calm, dry conditions after a sunny day suit thermal imaging best, so the visit is planned around the forecast. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings, alongside oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Alfriston School, big roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images show the most at once. If you live in an older home near Church of St. Andrew, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that’s where a view from the air or with a thermal camera helps.
