Thermal imaging roof survey in Frogham, Kent
Thermal imaging to find moisture and heat loss patterns in a roof in Frogham, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. Every survey comes with a written report and photographs.
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
- Heat escaping through the roof
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
Useful tips for Frogham property owners
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Clear a path to the loft hatch before we arrive
- Photograph damp patches with the date
- Ask us about the forecast if rain is expected
- Let us know where and when you’ve seen damp or stains
If the images suggest moisture that can’t be confirmed, we’ll say what would help next, for instance electronic leak detection or a roofer opening up a small section.
Clear outlets and gutters regularly, so water doesn’t sit on the roof. The less water sits, the less can find its way beneath.
Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Frogham
Thermal imaging is frequently most useful on flat roofs, from small extensions to large commercial roofs. It can show patterns that point to trapped moisture under the membrane. Pitched roofs with slates or tiles are frequently harder to read, because of the air space beneath, so we combine the camera with an inspection from the loft where there’s safe access. If you’ve noticed heat escaping through the roof and wet areas near outlets and upstands, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a village or hamlet like Frogham, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what cannot be reached safely. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first, and the journey is planned ahead of time. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Why get it checked now?
Wet insulation under a flat roof does not dry out on its own while the covering stays on. In time, it stops insulating properly and can damage the deck. Finding them early can mean a smaller job. Around Frogham, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

How soon will I get the report?
That depends on the survey you book: the Basic Survey report arrives within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey the same day. The report is emailed to you.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.

We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Is thermal imaging included in your surveys?
It comes with our Premium Survey, which starts from £400. The Premium Survey also covers a full inspection, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and a report on the same day.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes. Photos are taken throughout the survey, and they go into the written report alongside our recommendations.
Drones, thermal imaging and Frogham roofs
With Goodnestone Park about 2.4 miles north, Frogham sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Nicholas are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.
Frogham is about 6 miles north-west of Dover, in Kent. We carry out thermal roof surveys in Frogham for houses, flats, blocks and commercial buildings, with a written report and photographs every time.

Roof by roof
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
Felt and asphalt sit tight to the layers below, which often helps the camera pick up differences. Any patterns are checked with moisture readings.
Pitched slate and tile roofs
Inside the loft space, thermal images can help with damp around stacks, valleys and roof windows. We check any patterns with moisture readings.
What you can safely check yourself
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
It is useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking, as it helps us focus the survey.
How the survey works
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. The survey typically takes between one and two hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. Older roofs in small places like Frogham can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- We start with the roof, its history and any signs of damp or heat loss.
- We check the conditions and note how they may affect the images.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets in another room
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

Advice
Do you need a thermal roof survey in Frogham?
On big commercial and residential flat roofs, thermal imaging helps owners plan. Patterns can point to wet areas and show which parts look sound, so moisture readings can be targeted.
Problems we come across often include:
- Missing or slipped insulation
- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
Anyone responsible for a site like Nonington Church of England Primary School will know that thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.
