- Hidden layers that need to be opened up to check
- An energy rating for the building
- Confirming water without moisture readings

About our thermal roof survey in Priestwood Green
Our Premium Survey, from £400, brings together a full roof inspection and thermal imaging. You also get a drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and a report on the same day. There is an in-person consultation as well, plus a follow-up 12 months later. To book, just ring 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. We survey insulated roof spaces, pitched roof slopes and loft conversions, and people most often book us about wet areas near outlets and upstands and missing or slipped insulation.
Somewhere as small as Priestwood Green, older roofs are often steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what cannot be reached safely. Weather and airspace are checked ahead of the visit, and the journey is planned in advance. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, and recommendations are put in order of urgency where relevant.

What affects the price in Priestwood Green
All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- How big the roof is
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
Getting in touch
What helps most when you contact us:
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
To book a survey, phone 07833 053749 or email us and tell us the address and what’s prompted the survey. You will know the price before anything is booked.
Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Priestwood Green
Do you cover smaller places like Priestwood Green?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Priestwood Green?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. Our survey isn’t a structural engineer’s report. If we see signs that need an engineer’s opinion, we’ll recommend one.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on any day of the week. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not unless it is safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable cover most of what’s needed, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
How fast do I get the report?
It depends on the package: the Basic Survey report arrives within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey the same day. The report is emailed to you.
The survey, step by step
The visit has one job: to see as much of the roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It normally takes an hour or two at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. Around Priestwood Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start with the roof, its history and any signs of damp or heat loss.
- The weather and surface conditions are recorded.
- We inspect the roof and take thermal images during the same visit.
- We back up the thermal patterns with moisture readings.
- You get the report the same day, with an in-person consultation to follow.
Before we arrive
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
How to book
Prices start from £400, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email to find out.

Airspace, weather and Priestwood Green roofs
Cobham College, about 2.9 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Priestwood Green. 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 the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Across Kent, older roofs are frequently handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these.
Take an older house close to Church of Our Lady of the Meadow: thin or patchy insulation under an old roof frequently shows up clearly on a thermal image. Anyone responsible for a site like Culverstone Green Primary School will know that big roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images show the most at once.

Practical tips
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Ask us about the forecast if rain is expected
- Keep the heating on as usual before a heat loss survey
- Keep the report to compare against after any repair
- Check from ground level or a window, never by climbing
Buyers can use the findings when talking to the seller or agent. What you do with it is up to you, whether you ask for work before completion or discuss the price.
Clear outlets and gutters regularly, so water does not sit on the roof. The less water sits, the less can find its way beneath.
Can I check my roof myself?
It is useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
