Thermal roof survey in Pearson's Green
We present each thermal image next to a normal photo of the same area, so it is easy to see which part of the roof each one shows. Each one comes with an explanation, the moisture readings and our recommendation. Premium reports are sent the same day. If you have questions, the in-person consultation gives you time to go through them. A follow-up 12 months later is included too. We survey flat roofs, pitched roof slopes and ceilings below the roof, and people most frequently book us about missing or slipped insulation and damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys.
Older buildings in small places like Pearson's Green may be listed or in a conservation area. A look by drone or thermal camera does not touch the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Pearson's Green
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in Pearson's Green. To discuss a property or a block, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
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.
Common roof problems in Pearson's Green
Some defects simply can’t be seen with the eye. Wet insulation, gaps in insulation and heat loss are often invisible from outside. Thermal imaging gives us another way to look for them.
Problems we come across often include:
- Water getting in at parapets and stacks
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
- Damp patches with no obvious cause
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
Anyone responsible for a site like Mascalls School will know that big roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images show the most at once.
Questions to ask before booking
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Are they insured for the work?
- Their report turnaround times
What we look for on each type of roof
Parapets, valleys and junctions
Water often gets in where roofs meet walls, parapets or valley gutters. The camera can help show damp around these junctions.
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
Water under felt or asphalt can stay hidden for years. The camera can give clues to where it’s sitting, given suitable conditions on the day.
How the survey works
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. All told, expect an hour or two at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. Somewhere like Pearson's Green needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. 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.
- We go through the roof, the problem and the weather expected on the day.
- We look over the roof from wherever it is safe.
- Thermal images are taken across the roof and, where there’s safe access, in the loft.
- Patterns that stand out are checked with moisture readings.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
How to prepare
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey

FAQs for Pearson's Green
Do you cover smaller places like Pearson's Green?
Yes, Pearson's Green is covered. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is my home in Pearson's Green listed or in a conservation area?
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.
Can thermal imaging show missing insulation?
It can show temperature patterns that point to missing or thin insulation. It shows most clearly when it’s warm inside and cold outside. Where we can reach the loft safely, we check there too.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. 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. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Is thermal imaging included in your surveys?
Our Premium Survey, from £400, includes thermal imaging. An in-person consultation and a follow-up 12 months later are included too. For bigger commercial roofs, we quote on size.
What will the report tell me?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, backed by photographs. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us the address and what you need to know. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Airspace, weather and Pearson's Green roofs
Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. You will also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Older coverings on steep or tall roofs are hard to judge from below, so close-up close-up aerial shots and thermal images help. About 5 miles south lies Scotney Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Pearson's Green 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.
Pearson's Green is about 7 miles east of Tonbridge, in Kent. We survey roofs in Pearson's Green and the rest of Kent. Across Kent, we cover Pearson's Green and the places around it. We also survey roofs in Maidstone.

Local landmarks in Pearson's Green
Around Pearson's Green, our work takes us to homes and buildings near The Castle Inn, among other places. The closest station to Pearson's Green is Paddock Wood station, about 2 miles north-west. A little further out are The Hop Farm Museum (2.6 miles north-west) and Tunbridge Wells Hospital (5.1 miles west).
What happens if roof problems are left?
Repeated repairs that don’t stop a leak are a sign the source hasn’t been traced. Combining the camera with moisture readings can help find it, rather than more guesswork. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Pearson's Green, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Prices start from £400, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.
