The survey, step by step
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes an hour or two for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. You are welcome to ask questions while we are there. Somewhere as small as Felderland, access is frequently the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start with the roof, its history and any signs of damp or heat loss.
- The weather and surface conditions are recorded.
- A full inspection and thermal imaging are carried out together.
- Moisture readings are used to check what the camera shows.
- You get the report the same day, with an in-person consultation to follow.
How to prepare
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

If you’re buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email when you are ready.

Thermal roof survey in Felderland
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. There’s a 12-month follow-up as well. If you are worried about possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering and cold spots on ceilings under the roof, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Some older homes in villages like Felderland are listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on the roof, so it’s 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.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

Airspace, weather and Felderland roofs
Felderland lies within about 4 miles of the sea. Clear thermal results need a dry roof and little wind after a sunny day, so the date depends on the forecast. Within a mile and a half or so of Felderland there are several hotels. If you look after one, a large roof can be surveyed without guests having anyone working above them.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help. If you look after a building such as Sandwich Technology School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.
Felderland is about 4 miles north-west of Deal, in Kent.

Common questions in Felderland
Is Felderland in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Felderland as anywhere else.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Felderland?
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.
What conditions are best for thermal imaging?
The weather makes a real difference. A sunny day beforehand, a dry surface and calm air all help. Rain and strong wind can make the images less clear, so we talk through the forecast as you book.
Will I get photos?
Yes, every report has them. Pictures sit next to the findings they show, so you can see what we mean.
What’s in the report?
Written findings with photographs, covering the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend, with the most urgent first where relevant. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection and a structural check, and the Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable and structural analysis.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when booking.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Repeated repairs that don’t stop a leak are a sign the source hasn’t been traced. Combining the camera with moisture readings can help find it, rather than more guesswork. Outbuildings and barns around Felderland are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.

Before and after the survey
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Keep the heating on as usual before a heat loss survey
- Check from the ground or a window, never by climbing
- Check the loft can be reached safely
- Keep dated photos of any marks on ceilings
You can pass the report to a roofer so they can see where the problem areas seem to be. Because the images are paired with photos, it is easy to find each area on the roof.
Clear outlets and gutters regularly, so water does not sit on the roof. The less water sits, the less can find its way beneath.
Prices for thermal roof surveys in Felderland
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- How big the roof is

Every price we give includes VAT. Thermal roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. You’ll know the price for the job before you book.
What to tell us when you get in touch
There is no need for technical words. It’s enough to tell us:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know the cost up front. Thermal roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. For a price for your roof, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Honest limits
In fairness, a roof survey has limits:

- Whether the deck or roof structure is strong enough
