About our thermal roof survey in Dunn Street
A thermal imaging roof survey uses a thermal camera to show differences in surface temperature across a roof. The patterns can suggest wet insulation, gaps in insulation or places where heat is getting out. It’s important to know that the camera shows temperature, not water, so we check what it shows with moisture readings. Thermal imaging is included in our Premium Survey, from £400. Conditions on the day affect the results, and the report explains how. Typical surveys look at areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions and stains that keep coming back, on loft conversions, insulated roof spaces and commercial roofs.
Older buildings in small places like Dunn Street may be listed or in a conservation area. A look by drone or thermal camera does not touch the roof, so it is a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Drones, thermal imaging and Dunn Street roofs
Dunn Street is within about 5 miles of the coast, and coastal wind can be strong. Calm, dry conditions after a sunny day suit thermal imaging best, so the visit is planned around the forecast. If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
Anyone responsible for a site like Swingate Primary School will know that a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.
Dunn Street is about 3 miles south-east of Chatham, in Medway. Houses, flats, blocks and commercial buildings in Dunn Street can all book thermal roof surveys. Our Medway coverage includes Dunn Street.

What else we do in Dunn Street
Dunn Street: your questions answered
Is Dunn Street within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Dunn Street?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Dunn Street as anywhere else.
Is thermal imaging good for finding leaks?
It often helps show where to look. Patterns can suggest where trapped water has spread. We combine it with a visual inspection and moisture readings, as the camera alone can’t prove a leak.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Just say which days work for you.
Will the survey show heat loss through my roof?
The camera can point to heat loss and gaps in insulation. The survey isn’t an energy rating or a heat loss calculation, but the images show where improvements may help.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability.
How long does the survey take?
It typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. You’ll then get the report by email.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client, photos included.
With a portfolio of properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To arrange surveys for several addresses, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the addresses.
What a thermal roof survey does not cover
Every survey has limits, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Bear these in mind:
- Seeing water directly, as the camera shows temperature, not moisture
- Whether the deck or roof structure is strong enough
- Readings unaffected by sun, shade or reflections
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll suggest the right survey before you book. What our survey covers.
Roofs we survey in Dunn Street
- Commercial roofs
- Ceilings below the roof
- Pitched roof slopes
- Insulated roof spaces
- Flat roofs
- Loft conversions
Signs you need a thermal roof survey in Dunn Street
After a repair, some owners want to know whether the roof has dried out. A thermal survey with moisture readings can show whether wet areas remain when the conditions on the day are suitable.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
- Damp patches with no obvious cause
- Thin or uneven insulation in the roof
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Peter, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- What experience they bring
- Their insurance cover
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
What happens if roof problems are left?
Without thermal imaging, the only way to see how far water has spread is often to open up the roof. It helps when deciding whether to patch an area or replace the roof. In a place like Dunn Street, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.

How it works
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. Around Dunn Street, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- We talk through the roof, any damp or leaks, and the weather expected on the day.
- We carry out a visual inspection of the roof from wherever it can be seen safely.
- 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.
- We write up the thermal images alongside ordinary photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Keep pets in another room
