Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Snow Hill
Thermal imaging is part of our Premium Survey, which starts from £400. You also get a drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and a report on the same day. An in-person consultation and a 12-month follow-up are included too. To book, just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you’ve noticed. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size. If you’ve noticed stains that keep coming back and missing or slipped insulation, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Snow Hill are listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care, before anyone decides what work it needs. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

What we do, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes an hour or two for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Older roofs in small places like Snow Hill can have low, tight loft 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.
- We talk through the roof, any damp or leaks, and the weather expected on the day.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe viewpoints.
- Thermal images are taken to show differences in surface temperature.
- Areas that look unusual on the camera are checked with moisture readings where possible.
- You get a report with thermal images, photos and our recommendations.
How to prepare
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

- Reliable images in rain, strong wind or on a wet roof surface
- The condition of timbers we can’t see
- Confirming water without moisture readings
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will point you to the right survey before you book. What our survey covers.

Why get it checked now?
Thermal images can suggest the extent of wet areas without cutting into the roof. It helps when deciding whether to patch an area or replace the roof. Around Snow Hill, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Thermal roof survey starts from £400, including VAT.
Why us?
- Prices that include VAT
- 98% customer satisfaction
- Professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
Different roofs, different checks
Pitched slate and tile roofs
Inside the roof space, thermal images can help with damp around stacks, valleys and roof windows. We check any patterns with moisture readings.
Loft insulation
In the loft space, the camera can pick up gaps and thin areas of insulation. We inspect the loft where it can be reached safely.
Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Snow Hill
Are there drone restrictions around Snow Hill?
Usually it comes down to two things: the airspace at the address and the weather. The flight restriction zone around Gatwick Airport comes within about 2 miles of Snow Hill. The exact boundary is checked for each address before any flight, and a roof inside it needs permission before we fly. A small drone can’t fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, and the rest of the survey does not depend on the drone.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Snow Hill?
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.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. We’re roof surveyors, not structural engineers. We will recommend an engineer if we see signs that call for one.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it is safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Is thermal imaging good for finding leaks?
Thermal imaging can help, alongside other checks. The results depend on conditions on the day. Where it cannot be pinned down, the report suggests a next step, like electronic leak detection.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
Common roof problems in Snow Hill
After a long-running leak, insulation under a flat roof can stay wet. Owners want to know how far it has spread before deciding what to do. A thermal survey, checked with moisture readings, can give a much clearer picture.
We are often asked to look at:
- Stains that keep coming back
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
- Gaps in loft insulation
Saint Hill Manor, about 3.4 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Snow Hill. For older roofs nearby, a look by drone or thermal camera is a hands-off way to check condition.

Airspace, weather and Snow Hill roofs
The flight restriction zone around Gatwick Airport comes within about 2 miles of Snow Hill. If your survey includes the drone, the exact boundary is checked for the address first. Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings. Many roofs like these can’t be judged properly from the pavement, and that is where a view from above or a thermal image earns its place.
Whatever the street in Snow Hill, a roof costs least to look after when faults are caught early.
