We carry out thermal roof surveys in Deerton Street and the rest of Kent. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
- Leaks that are hard to trace
- Damp around roof outlets and upstands
- Thin or uneven insulation in the roof
How a thermal roof survey works in Deerton Street
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 ring 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 ceilings below the roof, insulated roof spaces and flat roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are leaks far from where the stain appears and moisture around outlets and upstands.
Some older homes in villages like Deerton Street are listed or in a conservation area. A look from the air or with a thermal camera does not touch the roof, so it is a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Tips that help
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Let us know where and when you’ve seen damp or stains
- Keep outlets and gutters clear to stop water sitting
- Keep the heating on as usual before a heat loss survey
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
Buyers can use the findings when talking to the seller or agent. It’s your decision how to use it, whether that is asking for work or discussing the price.
Have small defects in the covering fixed early. Water that gets under a covering can spread a long way before it shows.
What you can safely check yourself
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
Questions from Deerton Street
Is Deerton Street within the area you cover?
Yes, Deerton Street is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
How do I find out if my home in Deerton Street is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
What does a thermal roof survey show?
The images show how warm or cool each part of the surface is. Unusual patterns can point to trapped water, gaps in insulation or heat escaping, and we check them with moisture readings.
How many surveys have you done?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and visible signs such as sagging are noted, but calculations and an engineer’s opinion are outside what we do. If one is needed, the report says so.
How do I arrange a thermal roof survey in Deerton Street?
Just phone 07833 053749 or email us. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
What does the report include?
Written findings with photos, covering the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend, with the most urgent first where relevant. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check; Premium adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies and structural analysis.
How we price thermal roof surveys
We confirm the price for your roof before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Helping us price your survey
Before you get in touch, it’s useful to have:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Dates you’re working to, like exchange
- The property’s address and postcode
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
We survey roofs on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
What a thermal roof survey looks like in Deerton Street
Deerton Street is within about 2 miles of the coast, and coastal wind can be strong. Thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof surface and little wind, so the date is chosen with the forecast in mind. The wider area around Deerton Street has a long history of building, with Belmont House and Gardens about 4.1 miles south. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Teynham Parochial Church of England Primary School, a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.

We only report everything that’s safely in view on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- A structural engineer’s assessment
- Reliable images in rain, strong wind or on a wet roof surface
- Seeing water directly, as the camera shows temperature, not moisture

What we do, step by step
We will ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes an hour or two for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. In a hamlet or village like Deerton Street, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We go through the roof, the problem and the weather expected on the day.
- We look over the roof from wherever it is safe.
- We take thermal images of the roof and of the loft where we can reach it.
- We take moisture readings where the images suggest a problem.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
Getting ready for the survey
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Check pets are kept safely away
Getting a price
Unsure which package suits your roof? The easiest way is to phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We will explain the options and the price.
Advice
Signs you need a thermal roof survey in Deerton Street
Unexplained damp is one of the main reasons people ask for thermal imaging. Water can travel under a roof covering or along timbers before it shows inside. The camera helps narrow the search.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
- Leaks that are hard to trace
- Thin or uneven insulation in the roof
- Damp around roof outlets and upstands
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether the price includes VAT
- Are they insured for the work?
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
