Thermal roof survey in Milebush: what you get
A thermal survey isn’t a quick fix for every roof problem. It shows surface temperature, and things like sun, shade, reflections and wind all affect the readings. That’s why we check findings with moisture readings and a close visual inspection. The report is clear about what the images show and what they don’t. Where something can’t be confirmed, we say what would help next. We survey commercial roofs, ceilings below the roof and insulated roof spaces, and common reasons people get in touch are wet insulation beneath the membrane and missing or slipped insulation.
Older buildings in small places like Milebush may be listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on 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.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

How it works
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take between one and two hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. In a hamlet or village like Milebush, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We talk through the roof, any damp or leaks, and the weather expected on the day.
- We carry out a visual inspection of the roof from wherever it can be seen safely.
- Thermal images are taken to show differences in surface temperature.
- Areas that look unusual on the camera are checked with moisture readings where possible.
- The report sets out the images, what they suggest and what we recommend.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Check pets are kept safely away
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed

Flying and imaging in Milebush
Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. You will 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 is where a view from above or a thermal image earns its place. If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.

Milebush questions
Do you cover Milebush?
Yes, Milebush is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Milebush as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is Milebush within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
What do I do with the report?
The report comes by email, and what you do next is up to you: raise it with a seller, send it to an insurer, brief a roofer or share it with a managing agent.
What insurance do you have?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
What conditions are best for thermal imaging?
The results depend on the weather. A dry surface, little wind and a sunny spell beforehand help most. We record the conditions in the report, so you know how much weight to give the images.
Which survey includes thermal imaging?
It’s part of the Premium Survey, from £400. An in-person consultation and a follow-up 12 months later are included too. For bigger commercial roofs, we quote on size.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Milebush
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out by urgency where it matters.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, with the most urgent items set out first.
What happens if roof problems are left?
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 Milebush, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Prices start from £400, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, access and which survey you book.
Why book with us
- More than 5,000 surveys completed
- An independent view of the roof
- Thermal imaging and drones used where they help
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

Signs you need a thermal roof survey in Milebush
Once a leak has been fixed, people often ask whether the roof is still wet. A thermal survey with moisture readings can show whether wet areas remain when the conditions on the day are suitable.
We’re frequently asked to look at:
- Damp patches with no obvious cause
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
- Damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys
- Cold spots on ceilings under the roof
Take an older house close to St Michael and All Angels Church: steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that’s where a view from above or with a thermal imager helps.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Which limits apply to the survey
- What insurance they carry
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs

Practical tips
You do not need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Remember the conditions on the day affect the results
- Check outlets after heavy rain
- Photograph damp patches with the date
- Keep the heating on as usual before a heat loss survey
If you are buying, the report gives you specific points to raise with the seller or agent. It is your decision how to use it, whether you ask for work before completion or discuss the price.
Watch for new damp patches on ceilings beneath the roof. Catching a leak early stops insulation getting soaked.
