Priddy's Hard questions
Will you come out to Priddy's Hard?
Yes, Priddy's Hard is covered. We survey roofs across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How do I find out if my home in Priddy's Hard is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so we need permission from the building owner or managing agent. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
What do I do with the report?
We email you the written report with photographs and recommendations. It’s yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.

Thermal roof survey in Priddy's Hard
On a flat roof, wet insulation holds heat longer than dry insulation. So a wet patch can show as a warmer or cooler area on the camera. This can give an idea of how far water has travelled beneath the membrane, which is hard to judge by eye. We then check those areas with moisture readings. If you’re worried about water getting in at parapets and stacks and areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions, we can find out what’s behind it.
Villages like Priddy's Hard frequently stand in open country, where wind can be strong. Strong wind or a downpour stops a small drone flying, and calm conditions also suit thermal imaging best. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. A change in the forecast can mean moving the visit to another day.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

What we do, step by step
The visit has one job: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It normally takes about one to two hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. Somewhere like Priddy's Hard 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 check 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.
- 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
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear

Related advice
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Airspace, weather and Priddy's Hard roofs
Priddy's Hard is within about 1 mile of the coast, and coastal wind can be strong. 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. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask.
For hotels and guest houses around Priddy's Hard, a roof problem found early is far less disruptive than one found by a guest. If you look after a building like St Vincent College, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.

Honest limits
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- Seeing water directly, as the camera shows temperature, not moisture
- Insulation values or heat loss calculations
- Hidden layers that need to be opened up to check

When to book a survey in Priddy's Hard
After a long-running leak, insulation under a flat roof can stay wet. Knowing how much of the roof is affected helps decide between a local repair and more. Thermal images and moisture readings together can show the likely extent.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Leaks that are hard to trace
- Water getting in at parapets and stacks
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help.

Roof by roof
Loft insulation
From inside the loft, thermal imaging can show gaps in insulation and cold spots. We inspect the loft where it can be reached safely.
Pitched slate and tile roofs
On pitched roofs, slates and tiles over a ventilated space can mask what’s happening underneath. We combine the images with an inspection from the loft where there is safe access.
