About our thermal roof survey in Newick
Thermal imaging is often most useful on flat roofs, from small extensions to large commercial roofs. It can show patterns that point to trapped moisture under the membrane. On pitched roofs, slates and tiles over a ventilated space can hide what’s below, so we also look from the loft where we can reach it safely. We survey flat roofs, loft conversions and commercial roofs, and people most often book us about damp patches with no obvious cause and patches of heat loss across the roof.
Somewhere as small as Newick, older roofs are frequently steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you cannot get from the ground. Weather and airspace are looked at before the visit, and the journey is planned in advance. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
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.

How the survey changes by roof type
Parapets, valleys and junctions
Problems where roof slopes and walls meet are often hidden. We combine a close visual check with the thermal images.
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
Thin membranes can show patterns from the layers beneath. Shiny surfaces can reflect heat, so we take care reading the images.
Can I check my roof myself?
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Why act early in Newick
Heat lost through a roof costs money every winter. The camera can point to gaps and thin areas in the insulation, so you know where to put things right. For older village homes like those around Newick, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both inc. VAT. You will know the exact price before booking.

Practical tips
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Remember the conditions on the day affect the results
- Make sure the loft can be reached safely
- Photograph damp patches with the date
- Leave the roof to people with safe access
You also get an in-person consultation with a Premium Survey, giving you the chance to talk through the images and findings. There’s a 12-month follow-up too.
Keep an eye on ceilings under the roof for new stains. Catching a leak early stops insulation getting soaked.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing what a survey won’t do:
- Whether the deck or roof structure is strong enough
- Clear results when the conditions on the day are poor
- Insulation values or heat loss calculations
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll point you to the right survey before booking. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
Roofs we survey in Newick
- Commercial roofs
- Ceilings below the roof
- Loft conversions
- Insulated roof spaces
- Pitched roof slopes
- Flat roofs
How the survey works
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. You’re welcome to ask questions while we are there. Older roofs in small places like Newick can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- We go through the roof, the problem and the weather expected on the day.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand

FAQs for Newick
Is Newick within the area you cover?
Yes, Newick is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Newick?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Newick as anywhere else.
Do you use drones?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
What’s the best way to book?
Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
What conditions are best for thermal imaging?
The weather makes a real difference. It works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof surface and little wind. Rain, wind and heavy cloud can weaken the patterns, so we discuss the forecast when booking.
When does the report arrive?
Each package has its own report time. Basic: within 48 hours. Standard: 24 to 48 hours. Premium: the same day. Mention any deadline when booking.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
Thermal roof surveys around Newick
Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings, alongside oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Older coverings on steep or tall roofs are hard to judge from below, so close-up aerial photos and thermal images help. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so check with the council.
Take a building like Newick Church of England Primary School: a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit. Take an older house close to Zion Chapel: thin or patchy insulation under an old roof frequently shows up clearly on a thermal image.
