About our thermal roof survey in Wallcrouch
A thermal survey can point to places where heat is escaping through the roof. Missing or slipped insulation and gaps at the eaves often show up as temperature differences. The difference shows most clearly when it’s warm inside and cold outside. The report shows the images and explains what they may mean. It isn’t an energy rating or a heat loss calculation. We survey commercial roofs, ceilings below the roof and flat roofs, and people most frequently book us about areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions and missing or slipped insulation.
Villages like Wallcrouch often stand in open country, where wind can be strong. A small drone cannot fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. The visit is planned around the forecast, along with the journey and access. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Thermal roof surveys around Wallcrouch
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. 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 Wadhurst Castle about 2.2 miles north-west, Wallcrouch 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 the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you look after a building like Stonegate Church of England Primary School, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it. Take an older house close to Shover's Green Baptist Chapel: older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where photos from the air and thermal images help.
Wallcrouch is about 8 miles south-east of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in East Sussex.

What we do, step by step
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. The whole visit normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Somewhere like Wallcrouch needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- We look over the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- Thermal images are taken across the roof and, where there is safe access, in the loft.
- Patterns that stand out are checked with moisture readings.
- Each image is set beside a normal photo and explained in the report.
Before the survey
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Let us know where we can park nearby

Questions from Wallcrouch
Is Wallcrouch within the area you cover?
Yes. Wallcrouch is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Do you cover Wallcrouch?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Wallcrouch as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Will I get photos?
Yes, every report has them. Each finding is shown in a picture where possible, which makes the report easy to follow.
How do I book a survey in Wallcrouch?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you as you book.
What will the report tell me?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos, and ends with what we recommend. Points are put with the most urgent first where relevant.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with the freeholder or managing agent. Let us know about it when you book and we’ll explain what’s needed.
DIY checks: what’s safe
A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
It’s useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
Why act early in Wallcrouch
Without thermal imaging, the only way to see how far water has spread is often to open up the roof. That helps you and your roofer decide what really needs replacing. In a place like Wallcrouch, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Prices start from £150, inc. VAT, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. You will know the price for your roof before booking.
