Thermal Roof Survey in Adisham
Thermal imaging to find moisture and heat loss patterns in a roof across Adisham, using drones and thermal imaging where it applies. Call or email for a price.
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
Thermal roof survey in Adisham
Thermal imaging can also show where a roof is losing heat. Missing or slipped insulation and gaps at the eaves often 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’ve noticed wet areas near outlets and upstands and possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Villages like Adisham often stand in open country, where wind can be strong. Strong wind or a downpour stops a small drone flying, and calm conditions also suit thermal imaging best. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Adisham
If you own several properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To discuss a number of properties, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Before replacing a large flat roof, it helps to know how much of it is actually wet. Images backed by moisture readings show where problems seem to be before you spend. Outbuildings and barns around Adisham are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.

Adisham: your questions answered
Will you come out to Adisham?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Adisham?
Yes, Adisham is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and the South East. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone.
Can you use a thermal camera on a sloping roof?
It can be useful, though pitched roofs are typically harder to read. Slates and tiles over a ventilated space can mask what’s below, so we also look from the loft where it’s safe.
Can you do a thermal survey in any weather?
Conditions on the day affect the results. A sunny day beforehand, a dry surface and calm air all help. Rain and strong wind can make the images less clear, so we talk through the forecast as you book.
How fast do I get the report?
Each package has its own report time. Basic is within 48 hours, Standard is 24–48 hours and Premium is the same day. Mention any deadline when you book.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
The survey, step by step
The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the roof space if there’s safe access. In total, it takes an hour or two for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. Older roofs in small places like Adisham can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- 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.
- The Premium report reaches you the same day, and we go through it with you in person.
Before the survey
- Let us know about parking near the property
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
How to book
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.
Advice
Drones, thermal imaging and Adisham roofs
Many older homes in Kent have handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles held by pegs through two holes, and tile-hanging on their upper walls. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. 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. About 1.6 miles east lies Goodnestone Park, a reminder of how long the area around Adisham has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Adisham Church of England Primary School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.

What a thermal roof survey doesn’t cover
We only report whatever is safely visible on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- What’s inside walls or under coverings, without opening up
- Confirming water without moisture readings
- Whether the deck or roof structure is strong enough
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or email us and we will tell you before booking. What a survey covers and does not.
Roofs we survey in Adisham

- Ceilings below the roof

- Pitched roof slopes
Signs you need a thermal roof survey in Adisham
Some defects simply can’t be seen with the eye. Trapped moisture, missing insulation and hidden heat loss are three examples. Thermal imaging gives us another way to look for them.
Look out for signs like these:
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
If you live in an older home near Church of the Holy Innocents, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- When you’ll get the report
- What they won’t be able to tell you
What you can safely check yourself
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
