Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Potters Corner
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. An in-person consultation and a 12-month follow-up are included too. You can phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a note of what you’ve noticed. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size. Typical surveys look at cold areas below the roof and missing or slipped insulation, on flat roofs, insulated roof spaces and loft conversions.
In a village or hamlet like Potters Corner, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you can’t get from the ground. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first, and the journey is planned in advance. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

Can I check my roof myself?
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That is where a survey comes in.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Common roof problems in Potters Corner
On big commercial and residential flat roofs, thermal imaging helps owners plan. It can suggest which areas may be wet and which seem dry, so moisture readings can be targeted.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
- Water that travels before it shows
- Thin or uneven insulation in the roof
- Damp around chimneys and parapets
Take a building like Goat Lees Primary School: a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.
Questions to ask before you book
- How soon the report will arrive
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
How the survey works
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. The whole visit normally takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Cottages and farmhouses around Potters Corner often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We start by discussing the roof, any signs of damp and how the weather may affect the images.
- We look at the roof from the ground, from windows and from the roof itself where it’s safe.
- Thermal images are taken to show differences in surface temperature.
- Any patterns of interest are checked with moisture readings where we can reach them.
- We write up the thermal images alongside ordinary photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Keep pets in another room

Why get it checked now?
A poorly insulated roof loses heat year after year. Thermal images can show where insulation is missing or has slipped, so improvements can go where they’re needed. Outbuildings and barns around Potters Corner are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Thermal roof survey starts from £400, including VAT.

- Independent findings on the roof’s condition

What a thermal roof survey looks like in Potters Corner
About 1.2 miles south-west lies Godinton House, a reminder of how long the area around Potters Corner has been built on. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, 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. Where a roof is steep, tall or hard to see from ground level, drone photos and thermal images add detail.
Shop and office owners around County Square may find that thermal images can show trapped moisture across a wide commercial roof.

Before and after the survey
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Clear a path to the loft hatch before we arrive
- Check outlets after heavy rain
- Ask us about the forecast if rain is expected
- Check from the ground or a window, never by climbing
You also get an in-person consultation with a Premium Survey, so you can go through the images with us. There’s a 12-month follow-up too.
Consider a repeat survey after major work on the roof, when the conditions are suitable.
