Thermal Roof Survey in Eynsford
Thermal roof surveys in Eynsford, backed by more than 20 years’ experience. Every survey ends with a written report and photos.
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
What happens if roof problems are left?
Repeated repairs that do not stop a leak are a sign the source hasn’t been traced. Thermal imaging with moisture readings can help narrow it down, instead of trying repair after repair. In a small place like Eynsford, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

How a thermal roof survey works in Eynsford
Your report sets out the thermal images alongside ordinary photos, so it’s easy to see which part of the roof each one shows. Each one comes with an explanation, the moisture readings and our recommendation. Premium reports are sent 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. Typical surveys look at damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys and wet insulation beneath the membrane, across insulated roof spaces, loft conversions and flat roofs.
Somewhere as small as Eynsford, older roofs are often steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what can’t be reached safely. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first, and the journey is planned in advance. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
After the visit, you get a report with photographs, sent by email. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Eynsford
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.

How it works
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the roof space if there is safe access. In total, it takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Somewhere as small as Eynsford, access is frequently the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You tell us about the roof and any damp, leaks or cold rooms.
- We check the conditions and note how they may affect the images.
- We inspect the roof and take thermal images during the same visit.
- We back up the thermal patterns with moisture readings.
- You get the report the same day, with an in-person consultation to follow.

What we cannot see
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- What’s inside walls or under coverings, without opening up
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer
- Reliable images in rain, strong wind or on a wet roof surface
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will recommend the right survey. The full list of what we check.

Common questions in Eynsford
Will you come out to Eynsford?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is my home in Eynsford listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
How do I book a survey in Eynsford?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
What can thermal imaging tell me about my roof?
The camera records how the surface temperature varies. The patterns can suggest wet insulation, gaps in insulation or heat escaping. Findings are checked with moisture readings.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Does the weather affect a thermal survey?
The results depend on the weather. A dry surface, little wind and a sunny spell beforehand help most. We record the conditions in the report, so you know how much weight to give the images.
Can you check my loft insulation with a thermal camera?
Gaps and thin areas of insulation can show up on the camera. It shows most clearly when it is warm inside and cold outside. We look from the loft as well, where there’s safe access.
What a thermal roof survey looks like in Eynsford
The wider area around Eynsford has a long history of building, with Lullingstone Castle about 1 mile south-west. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Steep or complicated roofs are often hard to see from ground level, which is where aerial photos and thermal images help.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Anthony Roper Primary School, a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit. The streets around a church like Church of Saint Martin are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image.

Different roofs, different checks
Pitched slate and tile roofs
Slate and tile roofs are often harder to read with a thermal camera, because of the air space beneath. We combine the images with an inspection from the loft where there is safe access.
GRP fibreglass roofs
Glossy GRP can reflect heat. We take that into account and check findings with moisture readings.
