Thermal imaging roof survey in Maynard's Green, East Sussex
Not sure what state the roof is in? We carry out thermal roof surveys in Maynard's Green and across East Sussex, with plain-English findings.
- Patches of heat loss across the roof
- Thin or uneven insulation in the roof
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
About our thermal roof survey in Maynard's Green
A thermal survey is not a quick fix for every roof problem. It shows surface temperature, and things like sun, shade, reflections and wind all affect the readings. We back up the images with moisture readings and a careful look at the roof. The report is clear about what the images show and what they do not. Where something can’t be confirmed, we say what would help next. Common reasons to book are wet areas near outlets and upstands and water getting in at parapets and stacks, across pitched roof slopes, insulated roof spaces and ceilings below the roof.
Older buildings in small places like Maynard's Green may be listed or in a conservation area. A look from the air or with a thermal camera does not touch the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

What we do, step by step
We look at the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the loft space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey typically takes an hour or two for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. Around Maynard's Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- 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.
- Patterns that stand out are checked with moisture readings.
- Each image is set beside a normal photo and explained in the report.
Before the survey
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent

Advice
What you can safely check yourself
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Common questions in Maynard's Green
Will you come out to Maynard's Green?
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 do I find out if my home in Maynard's Green is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Does thermal imaging work on slate and tile roofs?
It can help, but the results are often less clear than on a flat roof. The air space under slates and tiles can hide patterns, so we also look from the loft where it’s safe.
What happens next?
You receive the written report by email, with photographs and recommendations. You can use it to talk to a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent, whichever applies.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Is thermal imaging good for finding leaks?
It often helps show where to look. Patterns can suggest where trapped water has spread. It is used alongside a close inspection and moisture readings because the camera cannot confirm water on its own.

Thermal roof surveys in Maynard's Green: local notes
Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs, and oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of East Sussex’s older buildings. Older coverings on steep or tall roofs are hard to judge from below, so close-up photos from the air and thermal images help. The wider area around Maynard's Green has a long history of building, with Horselunges Manor about 4.2 miles south. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you live in an older home near Christ Church, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where photos from the air and thermal images help.

Roof by roof
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
Thin membranes can show patterns from the layers beneath. Reflections from shiny surfaces can affect readings, which we allow for.
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
On felt and asphalt flat roofs, wet insulation can show as a temperature difference across the surface. Moisture readings are used to check them.

Common roof problems in Maynard's Green
After a repair, some owners want to know whether the roof has dried out. Thermal images and moisture readings can suggest whether moisture is still trapped, given suitable conditions on the day.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Thin or uneven insulation in the roof
- Water that travels before it shows
- Damp around chimneys and parapets
- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
Take a building like Maynards Green Community Primary School: big roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images show the most at once.
