Landlords, agents and block managers in North Mundham
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
We survey roofs for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photographs, useful for planning maintenance.
About our thermal roof survey in North Mundham
Thermal imaging is useful when a damp patch has no clear cause. Leaks frequently run along a roof before they appear on a ceiling, and the camera can show patterns that help us follow it. The images are used alongside a visual inspection and moisture readings, so no conclusion rests on one method alone. We’re frequently asked to look into possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering and damp around chimneys and parapets, on ceilings below the roof, insulated roof spaces and pitched roof slopes.
Villages like North Mundham often stand in open country, where wind can be strong. A small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. A change in the forecast can mean moving the visit to another day.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. It is useful straight away, and a good reference for later.

Why act early in North Mundham
Without thermal imaging, the only way to see how far water has spread is frequently to open up the roof. That helps you and your roofer decide what really needs replacing. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Our price is from £400, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.

Do you need a thermal roof survey in North Mundham?
Unexplained damp is one of the main reasons people ask for thermal imaging. Water can travel under a roof covering or along timbers before it shows inside. The camera helps narrow the search.
We are often asked to look at:
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
- Thin or uneven insulation in the roof
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
Historic houses like Goodwood House, about 4 miles north, show how far back building around North Mundham goes. Photos from the air and thermal images let an old roof be checked without anyone disturbing it.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Whether you get a written report with photos
How the survey works
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. In total, it takes about one to two hours for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In a small place like North Mundham, access is usually the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We talk through the roof, any damp or leaks, and the weather expected on the day.
- We check the roof from ground level, from windows and from the roof itself where it’s safe.
- We take thermal images of the roof to pick up temperature patterns.
- Any patterns of interest are checked with moisture readings where we can reach them.
- You get a report with thermal images, photos and our recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

Advice
Airspace, weather and North Mundham roofs
North Mundham is within about 3 miles of the coast, and coastal wind can be strong. Clear thermal results need a dry roof and little wind after a sunny day, so the date depends on the forecast. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs. Steep or complicated roofs are frequently hard to see from the ground, which is where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help.
If you look after a building such as North Mundham Primary School, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it. For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St Stephen, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that is where a view by drone or thermal camera helps.
North Mundham is about 2 miles south-east of Chichester, in West Sussex. Roofs in North Mundham get the same thorough look as anywhere else in West Sussex. We cover towns and villages across West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Portsmouth.
All of PO20 is within our area for thermal roof surveys. We cover properties on Church Road, Fletcher Place and Palmer Place and the roads around them. Close by, we survey roofs in Runcton (1 mile east), Hunston (1 mile west), Merston (1 mile east), Donnington (1 mile west) and Lagness (2 miles south-east). Larger places within reach include Bognor Regis (4 miles south-east), Selsey (6 miles south), Littlehampton (10 miles east), Emsworth (8 miles west), Rustington (11 miles east) and Storrington (15 miles north-east).
Landmarks near North Mundham
We work in homes and buildings around The Spotted Cow Public House and Chichester High School For Girls and the streets around them.

A little further out are St Richard's Hospital (2.1 miles north) and Chichester Cathedral Treasury (1.8 miles north-west).
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
On pitched roofs, slates and tiles over a ventilated space can mask what’s happening underneath. We back up what the camera shows with a look in the loft where we can.
Questions from North Mundham
Will you come out to North Mundham?
Yes. North Mundham is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
How do I find out if my home in North Mundham is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
What happens after the survey?
The report comes by email, and what you do next is up to you: raise it with a seller, send it to an insurer, brief a roofer or share it with a managing agent.
How do I book a survey in North Mundham?
Just call 07833 053749 or email us with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
When you need someone else
We only report whatever is safely visible on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:
- Proving moisture from the images alone
- Clear results when the conditions on the day are poor
- An energy rating for the building
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or email us and we will point you to the right survey. The full list of what we check.
