Thermal roof survey in Lurgashall
Thermal imaging is useful when a damp patch has no clear cause. Leaks often run along a roof before they appear on a ceiling, and temperature patterns can help us trace where it may have come from. We combine the images with a visual inspection and moisture readings, so no conclusion rests on one method alone. If you’ve noticed water getting in at parapets and stacks and patches of heat loss across the roof, we can find out what’s behind it.
Some older homes in villages like Lurgashall are listed or in a conservation area. A look by drone or thermal camera doesn’t touch the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care, before anyone decides what work it needs. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Why act early in Lurgashall
Heat lost through a roof costs money every winter. The camera can point to gaps and thin areas in the insulation, so improvements can go where they’re needed. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

How the survey changes by roof type
GRP fibreglass roofs
GRP roofs are laid over timber boards, so trapped moisture can affect the deck. The camera can help show where to look.
Pitched slate and tile roofs
Inside the loft space, thermal images can help with damp around stacks, valleys and roof windows. Findings are checked with moisture readings.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Lurgashall
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed beforehand. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which helps when tenants work during the week.

FAQs for Lurgashall
How do I find out if my home in Lurgashall is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Is Lurgashall within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access, while outside access can be discussed when you book.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the building owner or managing agent. Let us know about it when you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
What we’re asked to look at in Lurgashall
After a long-running leak, insulation under a flat roof can stay wet. Owners want to know how far it has spread before deciding what to do. Thermal images and moisture readings together can show the likely extent.
Look out for signs like these:
- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
- Stains that keep coming back
- Damp around roof outlets and upstands
Take an older house close to The Parish Church of St Lawrence: older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where photos from the air and thermal images help.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether VAT is added on top
- What follow-up you get after the report

Airspace, weather and Lurgashall roofs
If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Where a roof is steep, tall or hard to see from the ground, drone photos and thermal images add detail.
Petworth House lies about 3.9 miles south-east, so building around Lurgashall goes back a long way. Aerial photos and thermal images let an old roof be checked without anyone disturbing it.

How the survey works
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, from ground level, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where applicable. The survey usually takes about one to two hours for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Somewhere as small as Lurgashall, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.

- We check the conditions and note how they may affect the images.
