How a thermal roof survey works in Mockbeggar
Our Premium Survey, from £400, brings together a full roof inspection and thermal imaging. You also get a drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and a report on the same day. An in-person consultation and a 12-month follow-up are included too. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a note of what you’ve noticed. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size. We survey ceilings below the roof, insulated roof spaces and pitched roof slopes, and common reasons people get in touch are cold spots on ceilings under the roof and gaps in loft insulation.
Somewhere as small as Mockbeggar, older roofs are often steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what cannot be reached safely. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

What a survey costs
Survey packages start from £150, with VAT included. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
What to tell us when you get in touch
There is no need for technical words. It’s enough to tell us:
- What made you get in touch
- The address and postcode of the property
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- The kind of building and roof involved
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
What we can’t see
To be straight with you, a roof survey has limits:
- A formal energy assessment
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer
- Reliable images in rain, strong wind or on a wet roof surface

Common roof problems in Mockbeggar
Buyers sometimes want more than a visual look at the roof. A Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, a drone inspection where applicable and a same-day report, which suits a purchase that’s moving quickly.
Common reasons to book include:
- Leaks far from where the stain appears
- Damp around roof outlets and upstands
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
- Patches of heat loss across the roof
For businesses in and around places like Pentagon Shopping Centre, big, flat commercial roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images help most.
What to check before booking
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- What exactly goes into their report
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Their insurance cover

What else we do in Mockbeggar
Airspace, weather and Mockbeggar roofs
Mockbeggar lies within about 3 miles of the sea, and wind off the sea can be strong. Thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof surface and little wind, so the date is chosen with the forecast in mind. Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Older coverings on steep or tall roofs are hard to judge from below, so close-up photos from the air and thermal images help.
If you look after a building like Cliffe Woods Primary School, a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit. Historic houses such as Temple Manor, about 2.3 miles south, show how far back building around Mockbeggar goes. A drone or thermal survey doesn’t involve any work on the roof, which suits older buildings.
Mockbeggar is about 2 miles north of Rochester, in Medway. Houses, flats, blocks and commercial buildings in Mockbeggar can all book thermal roof surveys. Mockbeggar is one of the towns and villages in Medway we cover for thermal roof surveys. We also survey roofs in Maidstone.

The survey, step by step
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes about one to two hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Somewhere like Mockbeggar needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect what can be seen safely, inside and out.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe positions.
- Thermal images are taken across the roof and, where there is safe access, in the loft.
- We take moisture readings where the images suggest a problem.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
Before we arrive
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Find any records of previous roof work

Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Mockbeggar
Do you cover Mockbeggar?
Yes, Mockbeggar is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is my home in Mockbeggar listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
How does a thermal imaging roof survey work?
The camera records how the surface temperature varies. The patterns can suggest wet insulation, gaps in insulation or heat escaping. Findings are checked with moisture readings.
Can you do a thermal survey in any weather?
Conditions on the day have a big effect on what the camera can show. 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.
What’s the best way to book?
It is easiest to call 07833 053749 or send us an email. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we will point you to the right survey. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends.
Will you photograph what you find?
Yes. The report includes photos of what we found.
Practical tips
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Make sure the loft can be reached safely
- Talk to us about the weather when booking
- Tell us where and when you’ve seen damp or stains
- File the images with your roof records
If you are buying, the report gives you specific points to raise with the seller or agent. What you do with it is up to you, whether you ask for work before completion or discuss the price.
Keep outlets and gutters clear so water drains off the roof quickly. Less standing water means less chance of it getting under the covering.
