Thermal Roof Survey in Broomhill
Thermal imaging to find moisture and heat loss patterns in a roof in Broomhill. More than 5,000 surveys completed across London and South East England.
- Heat escaping through the roof
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
- Damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys
What a survey costs
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- Roof area
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.
Getting in touch
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It’s useful to include:
- Anything about access we should know
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- The kind of building and roof involved
Thermal roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can phone 07833 053749 or email us to find out.
Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Broomhill
Our Premium Survey, from £400, brings together a full roof inspection and thermal imaging. It also includes a drone inspection where applicable, a structural analysis and a same-day report. There’s an in-person consultation as well, plus a follow-up 12 months later. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a note of what you’ve noticed. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size. We survey insulated roof spaces, loft conversions and ceilings below the roof, and people most often book us about leaks far from where the stain appears and missing or slipped insulation.
Villages like Broomhill 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.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later.

Thermal roof surveys around Broomhill
If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Older houses across Kent frequently have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. Where a roof is steep, tall or hard to see from the ground, drone photos and thermal images add detail.
Historic houses such as Goodnestone Park, about 2.5 miles south, show how far back building around Broomhill goes. Older roofs nearby can be steep and hard to see from ground level, and a survey from above or with a thermal imager does not touch the roof itself. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near St Mary's Church, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image. Anyone responsible for a site like Wingham Primary School will know that a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.

How it works
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. We inspect what can be seen safely, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. Rural addresses near Broomhill can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe positions.
- We take thermal images of the roof and of the loft where we can reach it.
- 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
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming

Related advice
Leave it or get it looked at?
Without thermal imaging, the only way to see how far water has spread is frequently to open up the roof. That helps you and your roofer decide what really needs replacing. Older and listed buildings around Broomhill may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
For a price for your roof in Broomhill, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.

What we look for on each type of roof
GRP fibreglass roofs
Water under a GRP roof can reach the timber deck. Thermal imaging can suggest where that may be happening.
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
Water under felt or asphalt can stay hidden for years. The camera can give clues to where it is sitting, given suitable conditions on the day.
Broomhill: your questions answered
Do you carry out roof surveys in Broomhill?
Yes, Broomhill is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and the South East. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property.
Is Broomhill within the area you cover?
Yes, Broomhill is covered. We work right across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest.
How does a thermal imaging roof survey work?
It records surface temperature across the roof. Unusual patterns can point to trapped water, gaps in insulation or heat escaping, and we check them with moisture readings.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and visible signs like sagging are noted, but calculations and an engineer’s opinion are outside what we do. If one is needed, the report says so.
How experienced are you?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years.
Does thermal imaging work on slate and tile roofs?
It can help, but the results are often less clear than on a flat roof. The air space under slates and tiles can hide patterns, so we combine it with an inspection from the loft where there’s safe access.
