Thermal Roof Survey in Godden Green

- Thin or uneven insulation in the roof
- Cold areas below the roof
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
The survey, step by step
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you’d like to know. After that, we check everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. Cottages and farmhouses around Godden Green often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We start with the roof, its history and any signs of damp or heat loss.
- The weather and surface conditions are recorded.
- We inspect the roof and take thermal images during the same visit.
- Moisture readings are used to check what the camera shows.
- The Premium report reaches you the same day, and we go through it with you in person.
Before the survey
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

Thermal roof survey in Godden Green
Wet insulation under a flat roof covering holds heat for longer than dry. That means a wet area can show up as a different temperature from the rest of the roof. It helps us see how far water may have spread under the covering, something you cannot typically tell from the surface. We then check those areas with moisture readings. We survey ceilings below the roof, commercial roofs and pitched roof slopes, and people most frequently book us about moisture around outlets and upstands and damp that repairs haven’t cured.
Some older homes in villages like Godden Green 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.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photograph. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

How the survey changes by roof type
Pitched slate and tile roofs
Even on pitched roofs, the camera can point to heat loss and some damp. The report explains what the images can tell you and what they cannot.
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
On larger commercial single-ply roofs, thermal imaging can help target moisture readings. That makes the survey more focused.
Honest limits
It is a careful look at the roof, not the whole story. Its limits include:
- Hidden layers that need to be opened up to check
- Whether the deck or roof structure is strong enough
- Readings unaffected by sun, shade or reflections
If you are not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking. What our survey covers.

Why act early in Godden Green

For older village homes like those around Godden Green, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.

Thermal roof surveys around Godden Green
Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Across Kent, older roofs are often handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Where a roof is steep, tall or hard to see from the ground, drone photos and thermal images add detail.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Sevenoaks Preparatory School, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.

Common roof problems in Godden Green
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. Temperature patterns can help narrow down where to look.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Cold spots on ceilings under the roof
- Damp around roof outlets and upstands
- Damp around chimneys and parapets
- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
With Knole House about 1 mile south-west, the area around Godden Green has a long history. Aerial photos and thermal images let an old roof be checked without anyone disturbing it.
