Thermal roof survey in Lamberhurst Quarter
A thermal survey isn’t a quick fix for every roof problem. Sun, shade, reflective surfaces and wind can all change what the camera shows. We back up the images with moisture readings and a careful look at the roof. The report is clear about what the images show and what they don’t. If a finding can’t be confirmed, the report suggests a next step. We survey pitched roof slopes, flat roofs and insulated roof spaces, and people most often book us about moisture around outlets and upstands and possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering.
Some older homes in villages like Lamberhurst Quarter are listed or in a conservation area. A look from above or with a thermal imager does not touch the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care, before anyone decides what work it needs. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photo. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Different roofs, different checks
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
Water under felt or asphalt can stay hidden for years. The camera can give clues to where it is sitting, when the conditions allow.
Pitched slate and tile roofs
Even on pitched roofs, the camera can point to heat loss and some damp. We explain what can and cannot be read from them.
What we’re asked to look at in Lamberhurst Quarter
Unexplained damp is one of the main reasons people ask for thermal imaging. A leak may start well away from where the stain appears. Temperature patterns can help narrow down where to look.
We are often asked to look at:
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
- Thin or uneven insulation in the roof
- Leaks far from where the stain appears
Around Lamberhurst Quarter, as everywhere, small roof faults are simplest to sort before they let water in.

Lamberhurst Quarter: your questions answered
Is Lamberhurst Quarter in the area you cover?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Lamberhurst Quarter is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Lamberhurst Quarter?
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.
Can a thermal survey trace a roof leak?
It often helps show where to look. Water can travel under a covering before it shows inside, and temperature patterns can help follow it. It is used alongside a close inspection and moisture readings because the camera cannot confirm water on its own.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when you book.
How does a thermal imaging roof survey work?
It records surface temperature across the roof. Differences can suggest wet areas, missing insulation or heat loss, and we check them with moisture readings.
Are you insured?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
Will the camera show exactly where the water is?
Not directly. It shows surface temperature, and wet areas can show up because they hold heat differently. That is why we check any patterns with moisture readings.
How the survey works
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we check everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. The survey usually takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Rural addresses near Lamberhurst Quarter can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start by discussing the roof, any signs of damp and how the weather may affect the images.
- We carry out a visual inspection of the roof from wherever it can safely be seen.
- We take thermal images of the roof to pick up temperature patterns.
- We check the patterns that stand out with moisture readings where there’s safe access.
- You get a report with thermal images, photos and our recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Tell us where we can park nearby

Flying and imaging in Lamberhurst Quarter
Many older homes in Kent have handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles held by pegs through two holes, and tile-hanging on their upper walls. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. Many roofs like these can’t be judged properly from the pavement, and that is where a view from above or a thermal image earns its place. If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
