Thermal Roof Survey in Milton Regis
Thermal roof surveys in Milton Regis and the rest of Kent. We survey on weekdays and at weekends.
- Gaps in loft insulation
- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
- Leaks far from where the stain appears
Honest limits
Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, and that sets some limits:
- Readings unaffected by sun, shade or reflections
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer
- Insulation values or heat loss calculations

Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Milton Regis
Our thermal survey records how the surface temperature varies across your roof. The patterns can suggest wet insulation, gaps in insulation or places where heat is getting out. The camera doesn’t see water itself, so we check what it shows with moisture readings. It comes as part of our Premium Survey, from £400. Conditions on the day affect the results, and the report explains how. We survey pitched roof slopes, flat roofs and insulated roof spaces, and people most frequently book us about patches of heat loss across the roof and possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering.
Older buildings in small places like Milton Regis may be listed or in a conservation area. A look from above or with a thermal imager does not touch the roof, so it is a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Common roof problems in Milton Regis
After a repair, some owners want to know whether the roof has dried out. Thermal images and moisture readings can suggest whether moisture is still trapped when the conditions on the day are suitable.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
- Wet areas near outlets and upstands
- Gaps in loft insulation
- Damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys
Take an older house close to Church of All Saints: steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that is where a view from above or with a thermal imager helps.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- What happens after the report arrives
- How soon the report will arrive
What happens on the day
The visit has one job: to see as much of the roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. Rural addresses near Milton Regis 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 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 safely be seen.
- 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
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent

Flying and imaging in Milton Regis
The coast is about 2 miles or less from Milton Regis, and wind off the sea can be strong. Clear thermal results need a dry roof and little wind after a sunny day, so the date depends on the forecast. If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
If you look after a building like Sunny Bank Primary School, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it. A roof leak in a hotel or guest house around Milton Regis means lost rooms as well as repairs, so it’s worth knowing the roof’s condition.

Common questions in Milton Regis
Will you come out to Milton Regis?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Milton Regis?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Milton Regis is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us and tell us about the property.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. We note visible signs such as sagging or deflection, but we are not structural engineers and don’t carry out calculations. If we think you need an engineer, the report says so.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from the building owner or managing agent. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
Does the weather affect a thermal survey?
Conditions on the day affect the results. It works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof surface and little wind. Rain and strong wind can make the images less clear, so we talk through the forecast when you book.
What does a thermal roof survey show?
The images show how warm or cool each part of the surface is. Unusual patterns can point to trapped water, gaps in insulation or heat escaping, and we check them with moisture readings.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Milton Regis
If a big flat roof may need replacing, knowing the wet areas first is useful. Images backed by moisture readings show where problems seem to be before you spend. In a place like Milton Regis, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
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.
