- Reliable images in rain, strong wind or on a wet roof surface
- The condition of timbers we can’t see

Thermal roof survey in Curling Tye Green
We present each thermal image next to a normal photo of the same area, making it clear where on the roof each pattern is. Each one comes with an explanation, the moisture readings and our recommendation. With a Premium Survey, the report reaches you the same day. You can talk the findings through with us at the in-person consultation. A follow-up 12 months later is included too. Common reasons to book are leaks far from where the stain appears and wet insulation beneath the membrane, across insulated roof spaces, ceilings below the roof and pitched roof slopes.
In a small place like Curling Tye Green, open ground can mean strong wind. A small drone cannot fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. The visit is planned around the forecast, along with the journey and access. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photographs show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

Tips from our surveys
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. A few suggestions:
- Clear a path to the loft hatch before we arrive
- Tell us where and when you’ve seen damp or stains
- Keep dated photos of any marks on ceilings
- Clear leaves from outlets and gutters each autumn
If you are buying, the report gives you specific points to raise with the seller or agent. It is your decision how to use it, whether that is asking for work or discussing the price.
Keep outlets and gutters clear so water drains off the roof quickly. Less standing water means less chance of it getting under the covering.
Thermal roof surveys in Curling Tye Green: local notes
The coast is about 3 miles or less from Curling Tye Green. Clear thermal results need a dry roof and little wind after a sunny day, so the date depends on the forecast. With Danbury Place about 3.8 miles west, Curling Tye Green sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Michael are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that’s where a view from above or with a thermal imager helps. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Plume School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.

How the survey works
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. In a small place like Curling Tye Green, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First we go over the roof, the problem you’ve noticed and the conditions forecast for the visit.
- We look at the roof from ground level, from windows and from the roof itself where it’s safe.
- A thermal camera records how the surface temperature varies across the roof.
- Any patterns of interest are checked with moisture readings where we can reach them.
- We write up the thermal images alongside ordinary photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Let us know about parking near the property

Different roofs, different checks
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
Built-up felt and asphalt roofs can hide trapped water for a long time. The camera can give clues to where it is sitting, when the conditions allow.
GRP fibreglass roofs
Cracks in GRP can let water into the boards beneath. We combine a visual check of cracks with the thermal images around them.

Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Curling Tye Green
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Curling Tye Green?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Will you come out to Curling Tye Green?
Yes, Curling Tye Green is covered. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
What will the report tell me?
Written findings with photographs, covering the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check; Premium adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies and structural analysis.
What conditions are best for thermal imaging?
The results depend on the weather. A dry surface, little wind and a sunny spell beforehand help most. Our report notes the conditions and how they affected the findings.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. Visible signs such as deflection or sagging are recorded, but calculations and an engineer’s opinion are outside what we do. The report will say if you need an engineer.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
