Warningcamp Thermal Roof Survey
Know where you stand with the roof before you spend money on it. We carry out thermal roof surveys in Warningcamp.
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
- Damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys
- Leaks far from where the stain appears
Thermal roof survey in Warningcamp: what you get
Flat roofs over extensions, garages, flats and commercial buildings are where thermal imaging often helps most. It can show patterns that point to trapped moisture under the membrane. Pitched roofs with slates or tiles are often harder to read, because of the air space beneath, so we also look from the loft where we can reach it safely. We survey flat roofs, loft conversions and commercial roofs, and people most often book us about stains that keep coming back and ceilings that feel colder in places.
In a small place like Warningcamp, open ground can mean strong wind. A small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. A change in the forecast can mean moving the visit to another day.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

What we do, step by step
We’ll ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. For a village or hamlet like Warningcamp, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. 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.
- We start with the roof, its history and any signs of damp or heat loss.
- The weather and surface conditions are recorded.
- We inspect the roof and take thermal images during the same visit.
- We back up the thermal patterns with moisture readings.
- The Premium report reaches you the same day, and we go through it with you in person.
Before the survey
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in

Warningcamp questions
How do I find out if my home in Warningcamp is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Warningcamp?
Yes, Warningcamp is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and South East England. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details.
Will I get photos?
Yes. Photos are part of every report.
How long is the visit?
It typically takes an hour or two at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. The report follows by email.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
How do I arrange a thermal roof survey in Warningcamp?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
What a survey costs
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The size of the roof
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
What we need to know
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- The address and postcode of the property
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- The kind of building and roof involved
- What made you get in touch
We survey roofs on any day of the week. To find a date that works for you, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Flying and imaging in Warningcamp
The coast is about 4 miles or less from Warningcamp, and coastal wind can be strong. Clear thermal results need a dry roof and little wind after a sunny day, so the date depends on the forecast. Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
Ecclesden Manor, about 2.8 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Warningcamp. Older roofs nearby can be steep and hard to see from ground level, and a survey from above or with a thermal imager doesn’t touch the roof itself. Anyone responsible for a site like The Littlehampton Academy will know that big roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images show the most at once.

What we look for on each type of roof
GRP fibreglass roofs
GRP roofs are laid over timber boards, so trapped moisture can affect the deck. The camera can help show where to look.
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
On felt and asphalt flat roofs, wet insulation can show as a temperature difference across the surface. We check those patches with moisture readings.
Checking the roof from ground level
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.

For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, with the most urgent items set out first.
