Thermal roof survey in Goose Green
We present each thermal image next to a normal photo of the same area, making it clear where on the roof each pattern is. We explain what each pattern may mean, what the moisture readings found and what we recommend. With a Premium Survey, the report reaches you the same day. If you have questions, the in-person consultation gives you time to go through them. There’s a 12-month follow-up as well. Common reasons to book are damp that repairs haven’t cured and patches of heat loss across the roof, on flat roofs, commercial roofs and pitched roof slopes.
In a small place like Goose Green, open ground can mean strong wind. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. The visit is planned around the forecast, along with the journey and access. A change in the forecast can mean moving the visit to another day.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

What we do, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photographs, emailed to you. As for time on site, most surveys take about one to two hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. Rural addresses near Goose Green can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We go through the roof, the problem and the weather expected on the day.
- We look over the roof from wherever it is safe.
- Thermal images are taken across the roof and, where there’s safe access, in the loft.
- We take moisture readings where the images suggest a problem.
- Each image is set beside a normal photo and explained in the report.
Before we arrive
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
How to book
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

What affects the cost of thermal roof surveys
Survey packages start from £150, inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Getting in touch
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. It’s enough to let us know:
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
- What kind of property and roof it is
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
Unsure which package suits your roof? It is easiest to ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We’ll explain the options and the price.
Drones, thermal imaging and Goose Green roofs
If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. You’ll also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Many roofs like these cannot be judged properly from the pavement, and that’s where a view from above or a thermal image earns its place.
If you look after a building such as Hadlow Primary School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Dunstan, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where photos from the air and thermal images help.
Goose Green is about 4 miles north-east of Tonbridge, in Kent. Houses, flats, blocks and commercial buildings in Goose Green can all book thermal roof surveys. Goose Green is one of the towns and villages in Kent we cover for thermal roof surveys. Maidstone is in our area too.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Without thermal imaging, the only way to see how far water has spread is frequently to open up the roof. It helps when deciding whether to patch an area or replace the roof. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Goose Green, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

Goose Green: your questions answered
Do you carry out roof surveys in Goose Green?
Yes, Goose Green is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Goose Green as anywhere else.
How do I find out if my home in Goose Green is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Can a thermal camera see water?
Thermal imaging shows temperature rather than water. Wet insulation holds heat longer than dry, so it can stand out, but we check each finding with moisture readings.
What’s in the report?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, with photographs throughout. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too.
Will you photograph what you find?
Yes. The report includes photographs of what we found.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We look at everything that can be seen safely: from the ground, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
What a thermal roof survey does not cover
We only report everything that’s safely in view on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Hidden layers that need to be opened up to check
- Reliable images in rain, strong wind or on a wet roof surface
- Confirming water without moisture readings
If you are not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will give you a straight answer. The full list of what we check.

- Pitched roof slopes

- Commercial roofs

- Insulated roof spaces
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget.
Landlords and agents in Goose Green book surveys as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photos.
Signs you need a thermal roof survey in Goose Green
Some owners book because the rooms under the roof feel cold. Gaps in loft insulation and poorly insulated roof areas can show up on the camera, particularly when there’s a clear difference between inside and outside.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Water that travels before it shows
- Cold areas below the roof
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
- Water getting in at parapets and stacks
With Old Soar Manor about 2.5 miles north-west, the area around Goose Green has a long history. A drone or thermal survey does not involve any work on the roof, which suits older buildings.
