How a thermal roof survey works in Rogate
A thermal imaging roof survey uses a thermal camera to show differences in surface temperature across a roof. Those patterns can point to trapped moisture, missing insulation or heat escaping. The camera doesn’t see water itself, so we check what it shows with moisture readings. It comes as part of our Premium Survey, from £400. Conditions on the day affect the results, and the report explains how. We survey ceilings below the roof, pitched roof slopes and loft conversions, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are ceilings that feel colder in places and patches of heat loss across the roof.
Older buildings in small places like Rogate may be listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on the roof, so it is 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 written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Thermal roof surveys around Rogate
Historic houses like Uppark, about 4.1 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around Rogate goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
If you look after a building such as Rogate CofE 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 Bartholomew, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.

What else we do in Rogate
Before and after the survey
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Let us know where and when you’ve seen damp or stains
- Keep outlets and gutters clear to stop water sitting
- Check the loft can be reached safely
- Use the report as a baseline for later checks
Premium Surveys include an in-person consultation, giving you the chance to talk through the images and findings. A follow-up 12 months later is included as well.
Check that loft insulation is laid evenly and hasn’t been pushed aside. Gaps often appear after work in the loft.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Rogate
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf. Access is agreed with the tenant in advance.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Can I check my roof myself?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
How it works
The visit has one job: to see as much of the roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It usually takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. Rural addresses near Rogate 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. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- You tell us about the roof and any damp, leaks or cold rooms.
- We check the conditions and note how they may affect the images.
- A full inspection and thermal imaging are carried out together.
- Moisture readings are used to check what the camera shows.
- You get the report the same day, with an in-person consultation to follow.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent

Advice
How the survey changes by roof type
GRP fibreglass roofs
Water can get through cracked GRP into the deck. We combine a visual check of cracks with the thermal images around them.
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
Built-up felt and asphalt roofs can hide trapped water for a long time. The camera can give clues to where it is sitting, given suitable conditions on the day.
Prices for thermal roof surveys in Rogate
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Height and safe access
- The roof’s overall size
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £400, including VAT.

To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- The property’s address and postcode
- Anything about access we should know

Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Rogate
Do you carry out roof surveys in Rogate?
Yes, Rogate is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Rogate?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Does thermal imaging work on slate and tile roofs?
It can show heat loss and some damp, but it has more limits there. Our report is clear about what can be read from them, and we check them with a visual inspection and moisture readings.
Which survey includes thermal imaging?
Our Premium Survey, from £400, includes thermal imaging. An in-person consultation and a follow-up 12 months later are included too. For bigger commercial roofs, we quote on size.
Can you check my loft insulation with a thermal camera?
Thermal images can suggest where heat is escaping and where insulation may be missing. We don’t give energy ratings or heat loss calculations, but the images show where improvements may help.
What conditions are best for thermal imaging?
Conditions on the day affect the results. A sunny day beforehand, a dry surface and calm air all help. Rain and strong wind can make the images less clear, so we discuss the forecast when booking.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
