Thermal roof surveys in Bromley Green from an independent, experienced roof surveyor. More than 20 years and over 5,000 surveys.
- Cold areas below the roof

What we look for on each type of roof
Loft insulation
In the loft space, the camera can pick up gaps and thin areas of insulation. We inspect the loft where it can be reached safely.
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
Thin membranes can show patterns from the layers beneath. Reflections from shiny surfaces can affect readings, which we allow for.
Thermal roof survey in Bromley Green
Thermal imaging is a useful tool, but it has limits. It shows surface temperature, and things like sun, shade, reflections and wind all affect the readings. We back up the images with moisture readings and a careful look at the roof. Our report says plainly what the camera picked up and how sure we can be. Where something cannot be confirmed, we say what would help next. We survey insulated roof spaces, ceilings below the roof and commercial roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are damp around roof outlets and upstands and damp patches with no obvious cause.
In a village or hamlet like Bromley 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 the ground. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

What happens on the day
We’ll ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In a small place like Bromley Green, access is usually the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start with the roof, its history and any signs of damp or heat loss.
- The weather and surface conditions are recorded.
- A full inspection and thermal imaging are carried out together.
- Moisture readings are used to check what the camera shows.
- The Premium report reaches you the same day, and we go through it with you in person.
Preparing for the visit
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street

FAQs for Bromley Green
Is Bromley Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Bromley Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Bromley Green?
Yes, Bromley Green is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Does thermal imaging detect leaks directly?
Thermal imaging shows temperature rather than water. Because wet insulation holds heat for longer, it can show as a different temperature, and moisture readings are used to check it.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable cover most of what’s needed, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
What will the report tell me?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos. The most urgent items are made clear.
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 can’t tell you, and back them up with a visual inspection and moisture readings.

When to book a survey in Bromley Green
After a long-running leak, insulation under a flat roof can stay wet. Knowing how much of the roof is affected helps decide between a local repair and more. A thermal survey, checked with moisture readings, can give a much clearer picture.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
- Missing or slipped insulation
- Damp patches with no obvious cause
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as John Wallis Academy, a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.
What to check before booking
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- What experience they bring
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Which limits apply to the survey
