About our thermal roof survey in Biddenden Green
Thermal imaging is part of our Premium Survey, which starts from £400. It also includes a drone inspection where it applies, a structural analysis and a same-day report. An in-person consultation and a 12-month follow-up are included too. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a note of what you’ve noticed. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size. If you’ve noticed water getting in at parapets and stacks and leaks far from where the stain appears, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a village or hamlet like Biddenden Green, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you cannot get from ground level. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
It is not only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Leave it or get it looked at?
For buyers, a thermal survey adds detail that a visual inspection cannot give. Finding hidden moisture before exchange gives you facts to raise with the seller. In a small place like Biddenden Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Thermal roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

What a thermal roof survey looks like in Biddenden Green
Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these. Biddenden Green is about 3 miles from Headcorn Aerodrome. If the drone is used for your survey, the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions first.
Anyone responsible for a site like Smarden Primary School will know that big roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images show the most at once. Take an older house close to Church of St Michael: tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
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.

Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Biddenden Green
How do I find out if my home in Biddenden Green is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you cover smaller places like Biddenden Green?
Yes, Biddenden Green is covered. Our area covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How much does a thermal roof survey cost?
Our Premium Survey, from £400, includes thermal imaging. An in-person consultation and a follow-up 12 months later are included too. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size.
How do I arrange a thermal roof survey in Biddenden Green?
To book, phone 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 find a day that suits.
Can you do a thermal survey in any weather?
Conditions on the day have a big effect on what the camera can show. A dry surface, little wind and a sunny spell beforehand help most. Our report notes the conditions and how they affected the findings.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
What does the report include?
You get our findings in writing, part by part, with photos. The most urgent items are made clear.

How it works
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit usually takes about one to two hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. For a village or hamlet like Biddenden Green, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- We look over the roof from wherever it is 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.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

Roof by roof
Loft insulation
Insulation often gets moved during work in the loft. The camera can show where it no longer covers the ceiling.
Pitched slate and tile roofs
On pitched roofs, slates and tiles over a ventilated space can mask what’s happening underneath. We combine the images with an inspection from the loft where there is safe access.
