Thermal Roof Survey in Stunts Green
We take a careful look at the roof at your property in Stunts Green, and put it all in a written report with photographs.
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
- Damp around chimneys and parapets
- Gaps in loft insulation
Roof by roof
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
These coverings sit directly on the layers beneath, so temperature differences often show through. We confirm any patterns with moisture readings.
GRP fibreglass roofs
Cracks in GRP can let water into the boards beneath. We look at cracks by eye and use the images to see whether there is a pattern around them.
How a thermal roof survey works in Stunts Green
A thermal camera can help when the cause of damp isn’t obvious. Water can travel some distance under a roof covering before it shows inside, and temperature patterns can help us trace where it may have come from. We combine the images with a visual inspection and moisture readings, so the findings don’t rely on the camera alone. We survey insulated roof spaces, flat roofs and loft conversions, and common reasons people get in touch are areas of a flat roof that may hold water and damp that repairs haven’t cured.
Older buildings in small places like Stunts Green may be listed or in a conservation area. A look from the air or with a thermal camera doesn’t touch 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.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

How we price thermal roof surveys
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
What to tell us when you get in touch
We’ll normally ask about:
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- Anything about access we should know
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.
How it works
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It usually takes about one to two hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. In a small place like Stunts Green, access is normally the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start with the roof, its history and any signs of damp or heat loss.
- 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.
- The Premium report reaches you the same day, and we go through it with you in person.
Before we arrive
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Keep pets in another room
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.

When to book a survey in Stunts Green
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. Temperature patterns can help narrow down where to look.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Stains that keep coming back
- Damp around chimneys and parapets
- Cold spots on ceilings under the roof
- Leaks far from where the stain appears
Take a building like Herstmonceux Church of England Primary School: thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Whether you get a written report with photos
Flying and imaging in Stunts Green
With Horselunges Manor about 2.9 miles west, Stunts Green sits in an area with a long building history. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. In Sussex, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, frequently with tile-hanging on the walls below. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings, alongside oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these.
Stunts Green is about 3 miles north-east of Hailsham, in East Sussex.

Common questions in Stunts Green
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Stunts Green?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you cover Stunts Green?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Stunts Green as anywhere else.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Can you check my loft insulation with a thermal camera?
It can show temperature patterns that point to missing or thin insulation. The difference is clearest when the building is heated and it is colder outside. Where we can reach the loft safely, we check there too.
Can a thermal survey trace a roof leak?
It can help narrow down where water may be getting in. Patterns can suggest where trapped water has spread. We combine it with a visual inspection and moisture readings, as the camera alone cannot prove a leak.
How long is the visit?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof, but most surveys take about one to two hours at most homes, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. The written report follows by email.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Stunts Green
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant ahead of time.
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
What a thermal roof survey does not cover
Every survey has limits, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Bear these in mind:
- A formal energy assessment
- Proving moisture from the images alone
- Clear results when the conditions on the day are poor
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll point you to the right survey. The full list of what we check.
