Thermal imaging roof survey in Partridge Green, West Sussex
Thermal roof surveys across Partridge Green, backed by more than 20 years’ experience. You get a clear report with photos.
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
- Cold spots on ceilings under the roof
- Damp patches with no obvious cause
DIY checks: what’s safe
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book.
How a thermal roof survey works in Partridge Green
A thermal survey can point to places where heat is escaping through the roof. Gaps in loft insulation and poorly insulated areas can stand out on the images. The difference shows most clearly when it’s warm inside and cold outside. Our report points out what the images suggest and where to look more closely. We don’t give energy ratings or heat loss calculations. Common reasons to book are wet insulation beneath the membrane and damp around roof outlets and upstands, across ceilings below the roof, commercial roofs and flat roofs.
Older buildings in small places like Partridge Green may be listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on the roof, so it’s a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

What affects the cost of thermal roof surveys
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Roof area
Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both inc. VAT. We confirm the exact price before booking.
Helping us price your survey
What helps most when you contact us:
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- The property’s address and postcode
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and give us a few details about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
What we do, step by step
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings as a photo-illustrated written report, sent to you by email. On timing, most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Rural addresses near Partridge Green 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. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- We look over the roof from wherever it is safe.
- 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.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
Getting ready for the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at

Advice
Leave it or get it looked at?
For buyers, a thermal survey adds detail that a visual inspection can’t give. Hidden problems found before exchange can be raised with the seller or agent. In a place like Partridge Green, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Prices start from £400, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

Pitched slate and tile roofs
Even on pitched roofs, the camera can point to heat loss and some damp. We explain what can and can’t be read from them.
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
On big single-ply roofs, the camera helps show where to take readings. That makes the survey more focused.
Flying and imaging in Partridge Green
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs. Older coverings on steep or tall roofs are hard to judge from below, so close-up aerial photos and thermal images help.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near St Michael and All Angels Church, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that is where a view from above or with a thermal imager helps. Take a building like Jolesfield CofE Primary School: thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.
