Thermal roof survey in Newland Green
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. 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. For big commercial roofs, we quote on size and access. Common reasons to book are damp around chimneys and parapets and wet insulation beneath the membrane, on loft conversions, flat roofs and pitched roof slopes.
Some older homes in villages like Newland Green are listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care, before anyone decides what work it needs. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Common roof problems in Newland Green
Buyers sometimes want more than a visual look at the roof. The Premium Survey brings thermal imaging and a drone inspection where applicable, with a report the same day, which suits a purchase that’s moving quickly.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Wet areas near outlets and upstands
- Cold spots on ceilings under the roof
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
- Patches of heat loss across the roof
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St James, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help.
What to check before booking

- What follow-up you get after the report

What happens if roof problems are left?
Thermal images can suggest the extent of wet areas without cutting into the roof. That helps you and your roofer decide what really needs replacing. For older village homes like those around Newland Green, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.

What happens on the day
The visit has one job: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photographs go into the written report. The visit typically takes about one to two hours for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Somewhere like Newland Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- We start by discussing the roof, any signs of damp and how the weather may affect the images.
- We look at the roof from ground level, from windows and from the roof itself where it is safe.
- 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.
- The report sets out the images, what they suggest and what we recommend.
Before the survey
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

Advice
Flying and imaging in Newland Green
Across Kent, older roofs are frequently handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. You will also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Steep or complicated roofs are often hard to see from ground level, which is where aerial photos and thermal images help. If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
Anyone responsible for a site like Egerton Church of England Primary School will know that a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.

Questions from Newland Green
Do you cover Newland Green?
Yes, Newland Green is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
How do I find out if my home in Newland Green is listed?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
How long is the visit?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof; most visits take roughly 1–2 hours at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. The report is sent afterwards by email.
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.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
Can you use a thermal camera on a sloping roof?
It can be useful, though pitched roofs are normally harder to read. The air space under slates and tiles can hide patterns, so we also look from the loft where it’s safe.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
Different roofs, different checks
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
Felt and asphalt roofs frequently show wet areas as patches that differ from the rest. Moisture readings are used to check them.
Loft insulation
The difference is clearest when the home is heated and it is cold out. We explain in the report how the conditions on the day affected what we saw.
