Thermal roof survey in Mundy Bois
Thermal imaging is part of our Premium Survey, which starts from £400. It also includes a drone inspection where it applies, a structural analysis and a same-day report. An in-person consultation and a 12-month follow-up are included too. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a note of what you’ve noticed. For big commercial roofs, we quote on size and access. If you’re worried about damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys and gaps in loft insulation, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Older buildings in small places like Mundy Bois may be listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on 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.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Mundy Bois
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps when budgeting.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. Access is agreed with the tenant in advance.
Useful tips for Mundy Bois property owners
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Take photos of stains as they appear, so we can compare
- Keep the heating on as usual before a heat loss survey
- Remember the conditions on the day affect the results
Premium Surveys include an in-person consultation, so you can go through the images with us. A follow-up 12 months later is included as well.
Consider a repeat survey after major work on the roof, when the conditions are suitable.

Mundy Bois: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Mundy Bois is listed?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Will you come out to Mundy Bois?
Yes, Mundy Bois is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
How long is the visit?
Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. The report follows by email.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
What can thermal imaging tell me about my roof?
The camera records how the surface temperature varies. Those patterns can point to trapped moisture, missing insulation or heat loss. Findings are checked with moisture readings.
What do I do with the report?
You will get the report by email, with photos and clear recommendations. With Standard there’s a follow-up consultation; with Premium, an in-person consultation, so you can talk the findings through.
Can you use a thermal camera on a sloping roof?
It can show heat loss and some damp, but it has more limits there. Our report is clear about what can be read from them, and we check them with a visual inspection and moisture readings.
Thermal roof surveys in Mundy Bois: local notes
About 5 miles east lies Godinton House, a reminder of how long the area around Mundy Bois has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these.
If you look after a building such as Egerton Church of England Primary School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.

What we do, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes about one to two hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. For a village or hamlet like Mundy Bois, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- 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.
- Patterns that stand out are checked with moisture readings.
- Each image is set beside a normal photo and explained in the report.
How to prepare
- Find any records of previous roof work
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
Arrange a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from the ground or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Common roof problems in Mundy Bois
Not every roof problem shows on the surface. Trapped moisture, missing insulation and hidden heat loss are three examples. A thermal camera adds another way of finding them.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Wet areas near outlets and upstands
- Thin or uneven insulation in the roof
- Damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys
- Cold areas below the roof
If you live in an older home near Church of St James, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.
What to check before booking
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- Whether VAT is added on top
- How long the report takes to arrive
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
Why get it checked now?
Thermal images can suggest the extent of wet areas without cutting into the roof. It helps when deciding whether to patch an area or replace the roof. Older cottages and farmhouses around Mundy Bois can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
To find out what your survey will cost, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.
