Crockhurst Street Thermal Roof Survey
We take a careful look at the roof at your property in Crockhurst Street, and put it all in a photo-illustrated written report.
- Water that travels before it shows
- Cold spots on ceilings under the roof
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
Thermal roof survey in Crockhurst Street
Wet insulation under a flat roof covering holds heat for longer than dry. That means a wet area can show up as a different temperature from the rest of the roof. This can give an idea of how far water has travelled beneath the membrane, which is hard to judge by eye. We then check those areas with moisture readings. We survey ceilings below the roof, insulated roof spaces and flat roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are gaps in loft insulation and areas of a flat roof that may hold water.
Some older homes in villages like Crockhurst Street are listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

Why get it checked now?
If a big flat roof may need replacing, knowing the wet areas first is useful. Thermal imaging, checked with moisture readings, gives a clearer picture before you spend. Around Crockhurst Street, older homes frequently have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
Prices start from £400, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, access and which survey you book.

Practical tips
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- File the images with your roof records
- Remember the conditions on the day affect the results
- Check outlets after heavy rain
- Check from ground level or a window, never by climbing
The report explains the conditions on the day and how they affected the images. It helps you judge how firm each finding is.
Keep outlets and gutters clear so water drains off the roof quickly. Less standing water means less chance of it getting under the covering.
When to book a survey in Crockhurst Street
After a long-running leak, insulation under a flat roof can stay wet. Owners want to know how far it has spread before deciding what to do. A thermal survey, checked with moisture readings, can give a much clearer picture.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
- Patches of heat loss across the roof
- Damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys
- Cold areas below the roof
If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that’s where a view by drone or thermal camera helps.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Will the report include photos?

Crockhurst Street: your questions answered
Do you cover Crockhurst Street?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Crockhurst Street as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is Crockhurst Street within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
Is thermal imaging useful on pitched roofs?
It can help, but the results are often less clear than on a flat roof. Slates and tiles over a ventilated space can mask what’s below, so we also look from the loft where it is safe.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. We’ll talk about access when you book.
What do I do with the report?
You’ll get the report by email. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. After that, we check everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. The survey normally takes between one and two hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. For a village or hamlet like Crockhurst Street, the journey is planned ahead of time: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. 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 talk through the roof, any damp or leaks, and the weather expected on the day.
- We check the roof from the ground, from windows and from the roof itself where it is safe.
- We take thermal images of the roof to pick up temperature patterns.
- Any patterns of interest are checked with moisture readings where we can reach them.
- The report sets out the images, what they suggest and what we recommend.
Before the survey
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
How to book

Flying and imaging in Crockhurst Street
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. Steep or complicated roofs are frequently hard to see from ground level, which is where aerial photos and thermal images help. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Capel Primary School, big roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images show the most at once.
