Thermal roof survey in Twineham Green
A thermal survey can point to places where heat is escaping through the roof. Missing or slipped insulation and gaps at the eaves frequently show up as temperature differences. It works best when the building is heated and it’s colder outside. The report shows the images and explains what they may mean. It isn’t an energy rating or a heat loss calculation. If you’re worried about possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering and damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Older buildings in small places like Twineham 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 is a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
Where we can’t see part of the roof, the report says so. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Flying and imaging in Twineham Green
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Older coverings on steep or tall roofs are hard to judge from below, so close-up close-up aerial shots and thermal images help. With Ockenden Manor about 3.8 miles north-east, Twineham Green sits in an area with a long building history. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Twineham CofE Primary School, big roofs are where photos from the air and thermal images show the most at once. For an older house near a landmark like The Parish Church of St Peter, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help.

How the survey works
We’ll ask a few questions first, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes about one to two hours at a typical home, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. In a hamlet or village like Twineham Green, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, 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.
- You let us know about the roof and any damp, leaks or cold rooms.
- We check the conditions and note how they may affect the images.
- We inspect the roof and take thermal images during the same visit.
- We back up the thermal patterns with moisture readings.
- You get the report the same day, with an in-person consultation to follow.
Preparing for the visit
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

Why it’s worth a survey now in Twineham Green
A poorly insulated roof loses heat year after year. Thermal images can show where insulation is missing or has slipped, so you know where to put things right. In a place like Twineham Green, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

Can I check my roof myself?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Before and after the survey
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Talk to us about the weather when booking
- Don’t switch the heating off ahead of the visit
- Check from ground level or a window, never by climbing
- Take photos of stains as they appear, so we can compare
If the images suggest moisture that cannot be confirmed, we’ll say what would help next, like electronic leak detection or opening up a small area.
Consider a repeat survey after major work on the roof, when the conditions are suitable.
Twineham Green questions
How do I find out if my home in Twineham Green is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is Twineham Green in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
Is thermal imaging good for finding leaks?
It’s a useful tool for tracing leaks, but not the only one. What it shows depends on the weather and the roof. Where it can’t be pinned down, the report suggests a next step, like electronic leak detection.
How long will you be at the property?
Most surveys take an hour or two for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. We’ll confirm the timing as you book.
Does thermal imaging work on slate and tile roofs?
It can show heat loss and some damp, but it has more limits there. We explain what the images can and cannot tell you, and back them up with a visual inspection and moisture readings.
Will you photograph what you find?
Yes. The report includes photos of what we found, so you can see exactly what each finding refers to.
