Green Street Green questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Green Street Green?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Do you cover Green Street Green?
Yes, Green Street Green is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the property.
Will I get photos?
Yes. Photos are part of every report, so you can see each point for yourself.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you when booking.
How experienced are you?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
How long is the visit?
Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. The report follows by email.
Can a thermal survey trace a roof leak?
It is a useful tool for tracing leaks, but not the only one. The results depend on conditions on the day. Where it can’t be pinned down, the report suggests a next step, like electronic leak detection.
How a thermal roof survey works in Green Street Green
Flat roofs over extensions, garages, flats and commercial buildings are where thermal imaging often helps most. Patterns can suggest where water is trapped under the covering. On pitched roofs, slates and tiles over a ventilated space can hide what’s below, so we combine the camera with an inspection from the loft where there’s safe access. If you’ve noticed damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys and gaps in loft insulation, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Older buildings in small places like Green Street Green may be listed or in a conservation area. A look by drone or thermal camera doesn’t touch the roof, so it’s a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof, before anyone decides what work it needs. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, sent by email. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

What a thermal roof survey doesn’t cover

- Readings unaffected by sun, shade or reflections
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll point you to the right survey before you book. What a survey covers and does not.

The survey, step by step
We do not take risks to get a closer look. We inspect what can safely be seen, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for a house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Around Green Street Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We go through the roof, the problem and the weather expected on the day.
- We look over the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- We take thermal images of the roof and of the loft where we can reach it.
- 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
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand

Advice
DIY checks: what’s safe
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Drones, thermal imaging and Green Street Green roofs
Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. 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. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these.
Anyone responsible for a site like Greenlands Primary School will know that thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof. For businesses in and around places such as Bluewater, big, flat commercial roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images help most.

What we look for on each type of roof
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
On larger commercial single-ply roofs, thermal imaging can help target moisture readings. That makes the survey more focused.
Loft insulation
From inside the loft, thermal imaging can show gaps in insulation and cold spots. We inspect the loft where it can be reached safely.
Why get it checked now?
The longer moisture sits in a roof, the more it can affect timbers and finishes below. Looking now, while the damage may still be limited, keeps more options open. For older village homes like those around Green Street Green, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Prices start from £400, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, including VAT, and we can help you choose.

Useful tips for Green Street Green property owners
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Ask us about the forecast if rain is expected
- Don’t switch the heating off ahead of the visit
- Make sure the loft can be reached safely
- Take photos of stains as they appear, so we can compare
After the visit, we put the thermal images, photos and moisture readings into one report. We explain what each image may mean, with our recommendations. With a Premium Survey, you get the report the same day.
Deal with small splits and lifted seams promptly. Once water gets under a membrane, it can travel far before it appears inside.
