Thermal imaging roof survey in Marden Beech, Kent
Thermal imaging to find moisture and heat loss patterns in a roof for Marden Beech and the rest of Kent. We survey on any day of the week.
- Leaks that are hard to trace
- Cold areas below the roof
- Stains that keep coming back
What a thermal roof survey looks like in Marden Beech
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list. If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
Anyone responsible for a site like Marden Primary School will know that thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.

Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Marden Beech
A thermal imaging roof survey uses a thermal camera to show differences in surface temperature across a roof. The patterns can suggest wet insulation, gaps in insulation or places where heat is getting out. The camera does not see water itself, so we check what it shows with moisture readings. It comes as part of our Premium Survey, from £400. The report also notes the conditions on the day, since they affect what the camera can show. We survey ceilings below the roof, flat roofs and loft conversions, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps in loft insulation and heat escaping through the roof.
Somewhere as small as Marden Beech, older roofs are frequently steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you cannot get from ground level. Weather and airspace are checked before the visit, and the journey is planned ahead of time. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

What affects the cost of thermal roof surveys
When we price a survey, we consider:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Which survey package you book
- The size of the roof
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £400, including VAT.
Getting in touch
There is no need for technical words. It’s enough to tell us:
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- When you need the report by
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
Our price is from £400, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.
Signs you need a thermal roof survey in Marden Beech
Unexplained damp is one of the main reasons people ask for thermal imaging. A leak may start well away from where the stain appears. The camera helps narrow the search.
People typically book a survey after spotting something like this:
- Damp around chimneys and parapets
- Leaks that are hard to trace
- Damp around roof outlets and upstands
- Missing or slipped insulation
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near St Michael and All Angels Church, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where aerial photos and thermal images help.
What to check before booking
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Their report turnaround times
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
What we do, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. It normally takes between one and two hours at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Cottages and farmhouses around Marden Beech often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- First we go over the roof, the problem you’ve noticed and the conditions forecast for the visit.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe viewpoints.
- Thermal images are taken to show differences in surface temperature.
- We check the patterns that stand out with moisture readings where there’s safe access.
- You get a report with thermal images, photographs and our recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of

Leave it or get it looked at?
A poorly insulated roof loses heat year after year. The camera can point to gaps and thin areas in the insulation, so improvements can go where they’re needed. Around Marden Beech, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
Why book with us
- Over 5,000 surveys carried out
- An independent view of the roof
