Murston Thermal Roof Survey

- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
- Damp patches with no obvious cause
About our thermal roof survey in Murston
Thermal imaging is part of our Premium Survey, which starts from £400. 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. To book, just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you’ve noticed. For big commercial roofs, we quote on size and access. Common reasons to book are water that travels before it shows and ceilings that feel colder in places, across flat roofs, pitched roof slopes and insulated roof spaces.
In smaller places like Murston, many homes are bungalows and houses with roofs you can partly see from the ground. The parts you can’t see, such as rear slopes, valleys and chimney tops, are where a drone or thermal camera adds detail. Both depend on the weather on the day. Even so, a close-up image often shows wear on ridges and flashings that a view from the ground misses.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

Common questions in Murston
Is Murston within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is Murston in the area you cover?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Murston is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Does thermal imaging detect leaks directly?
No, not on its own. It shows temperature, and wet materials often behave differently from dry ones. That’s why we check any patterns with moisture readings.
What conditions are best for thermal imaging?
Conditions on the day affect the results. A sunny day beforehand, a dry surface and calm air all help. Rain and strong wind can make the images less clear, so we discuss the forecast when booking.
What happens after the survey?
The report arrives by email. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation, so you can talk the findings through.
How do I arrange a thermal roof survey in Murston?
It’s easiest to call 07833 053749 or send us an email. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we will suggest the right survey. We survey on any day of the week.

It’s part of the Premium Survey, from £400. You also get an in-person consultation and a 12-month follow-up. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size.
The survey, step by step
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes about one to two hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. You are welcome to ask questions while we are there. A visit to a smaller place like Murston is no different on the day: we look from the ground, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it’s safe. It’s useful to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- We start with the roof, its history and any signs of damp or heat loss.
- The weather and surface conditions are recorded.
- A full inspection and thermal imaging are carried out together.
- Moisture readings are used to check what the camera shows.
- The Premium report reaches you the same day, and we go through it with you in person.
Before we arrive
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

Why it is worth a survey now in Murston
Trapped water can harm decks, timbers and ceilings the longer it stays. Looking now, while the damage may still be limited, keeps more options open. On a bungalow or cottage around Murston, the roof sits close to the rooms below, so water can show inside quickly once it gets past the covering. Finding the cause first saves a second job inside.
Every price we give includes VAT. Thermal roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.

Drones, thermal imaging and Murston roofs
The coast is about 2 miles or less from Murston. 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. Within a mile and a half or so of Murston there are several hotels, and hotels, like offices and blocks of flats, frequently have flat roofs. For hotels and other commercial buildings, large roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images show the most at once.
Anyone responsible for a site like Sunny Bank Primary School will know that a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it. The streets around a church such as Church of All Saints are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image.
Murston is about 1 mile east of Sittingbourne, in Kent. We carry out thermal roof surveys in Murston for houses, flats, blocks and commercial buildings, with a written report and photographs every time. Our Kent coverage includes Murston and the places around it. There’s also a page for Maidstone.
Surveys in ME10 and ME9 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. Whether your property is on Oak Road, Glebe Lane and Leigh Road or anywhere close by, we can help.

Tips that help
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Keep outlets and gutters clear to stop water sitting
- Heat the home normally on the days before
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Check from the ground or a window, never by climbing
Buyers can use the findings when talking to the seller or agent. It is your decision how to use it, whether you ask for work before completion or discuss the price.
Deal with small splits and lifted seams promptly. Once water gets under a membrane, it can travel far before it appears inside.
Signs you need a thermal roof survey in Murston
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.
We are frequently asked to look at:
- Water that travels before it shows
- Cold areas below the roof
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
- Patches of heat loss across the roof
A roof leak in a hotel or guest house around Murston means lost rooms as well as repairs, so it pays to find faults before guests do.
Questions to ask before you book
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Their report turnaround times
For landlords and managing agents
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Bigger roofs take more time.
