How we price thermal roof surveys
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- Which survey package you book
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
What we need to know
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Anything about access we should know
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- What’s prompted the survey

Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Moor Street
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. There’s an in-person consultation as well, plus a follow-up 12 months later. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a note of what you’ve noticed. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size. We’re frequently asked to look into water that travels before it shows and wet insulation beneath the membrane, on flat roofs, commercial roofs and pitched roof slopes.
In a small place like Moor Street, open ground can mean strong wind. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
We write the report in plain English, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, and recommendations are put by urgency where it matters.

Drones, thermal imaging and Moor Street roofs
Moor Street lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Clear thermal results need a dry roof and little wind after a sunny day, so the date depends on the forecast. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Margaret, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.
Moor Street is about 2 miles east of Gillingham, in Medway. In Moor Street, as across Medway, every roof gets the same careful survey. Our Medway coverage includes Moor Street and the places around it. For surveys nearby, see our Maidstone page.

What we can’t see
It’s useful to know what a survey won’t do before you book:
- What’s inside walls or under coverings, without opening up
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer
- Proving moisture from the images alone
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will suggest the right survey before you book. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
What we look at
- Loft conversions
- Pitched roof slopes
- Flat roofs
- Commercial roofs
- Ceilings below the roof
- Insulated roof spaces
When to book a survey in Moor Street
Flat roofs that have leaked for a while can have wet insulation under the covering. Owners want to know how far it has spread before deciding what to do. Thermal images and moisture readings together can show the likely extent.
Problems we come across often include:
- Water getting in at parapets and stacks
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
- Cold areas below the roof
- Gaps in loft insulation
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Leigh Academy Rainham, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.
Questions to ask before you book
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Is VAT included in the price?
What happens if roof problems are left?
Once insulation under a membrane is wet, it tends to stay wet. In time, it stops insulating properly and can damage the deck. Finding the wet areas sooner keeps the work smaller. For an older or listed building in a place like Moor Street, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
Our price is from £400, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, with VAT included.

Take a look at what a roof survey costs or two real surveys.
The survey, step by step
The visit has one job: to see as much of the roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Notes and photos go into the written report. The visit typically takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. In a hamlet or village like Moor Street, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- 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 be seen safely.
- Thermal images are taken to show differences in surface temperature.
- We check the patterns that stand out with moisture readings where there is safe access.
- We write up the thermal images alongside ordinary photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Check we can get to the back of the property
Booking a survey

FAQs for Moor Street
How do I find out if my home in Moor Street is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Is Moor Street in the area you cover?
Yes, Moor Street is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Moor Street as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How do I book a survey in Moor Street?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
How does a thermal imaging roof survey work?
A thermal camera shows differences in surface temperature. Those patterns can point to trapped moisture, missing insulation or heat loss. We check what it shows with moisture readings.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only if it’s safe. We look at everything that can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
What does the report include?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, backed by photographs. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when booking and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Tips from our surveys
You do not need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Remember the conditions on the day affect the results
- File the images with your roof records
- Keep dated photos of any marks on ceilings
- Keep outlets and gutters clear to stop water sitting
Once we have been, the thermal images, photos and readings go into a single report. Each image is explained in plain words, alongside what we recommend. Premium reports are sent the same day.
Keep outlets and gutters clear so water drains off the roof quickly. Less standing water means less chance of it getting under the covering.
