Thermal imaging roof survey in Sevington, Kent
Wondering about the roof at a property in Sevington? We carry out thermal roof surveys in Sevington and across Kent, with plain-English findings.
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
- Thin or uneven insulation in the roof
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
How a thermal roof survey works in Sevington
A thermal survey is not a quick fix for every roof problem. Sun, shade, reflective surfaces and wind can all change what the camera shows. We back up the images with moisture readings and a careful look at the roof. Our report says plainly what the camera picked up and how sure we can be. Where something cannot be confirmed, we say what would help next. If you’ve noticed areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions and cold areas below the roof, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Older buildings in small places like Sevington may be listed or in a conservation area. A look from the air or with a thermal camera does not touch the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
The report does not just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

How the survey works
We’ll ask a few questions first, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes about one to two hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. For a village or hamlet like Sevington, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe positions.
- We take thermal images of the roof and of the loft where we can reach it.
- We take moisture readings where the images suggest a problem.
- Each image is set beside a normal photo and explained in the report.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
Getting a price
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or email us, and we’ll ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.

What affects the price in Sevington
To price your survey, we look at:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- How big the roof is
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Which survey package you book
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.
Getting in touch
These details help when you contact us:
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and the days you’d prefer.
Airspace, weather and Sevington roofs
Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. 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. Where a roof is steep, tall or hard to see from ground level, drone photos and thermal images add detail.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Willesborough Junior School, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it. Historic houses such as Godinton House, about 3.9 miles north-west, show how far back building around Sevington goes. Close-up aerial shots and thermal images let an old roof be checked without anyone disturbing it. For businesses in and around places such as Ashford Designer Outlet, thermal images can show trapped moisture across a wide commercial roof.
Sevington is about 2 miles south-east of Ashford, in Kent. If you’re in Sevington, booking works exactly as it does anywhere else: a call or an email, a price, then a date. Our Kent coverage includes Sevington and the places around it. We also survey roofs in Canterbury.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Sevington
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed ahead of time. We survey seven days a week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, putting the urgent items at the top.
DIY checks: what’s safe
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Practical tips
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Photograph damp patches with the date
- Don’t switch the heating off ahead of the visit
- Remember the conditions on the day affect the results
- Tell us where and when you’ve seen damp or stains
After the visit, we put the thermal images, photographs and moisture readings into one report. We explain what each image may mean, with our recommendations. With a Premium Survey, you get the report the same day.
Keep outlets and gutters clear so water drains off the roof quickly. Less standing water means less chance of it getting under the covering.
Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Sevington
Do you carry out roof surveys in Sevington?
Yes, Sevington is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Do you cover smaller places like Sevington?
Yes, Sevington is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
How long does the survey take?
Time on site depends on the roof, but most surveys take about 1–2 hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. The written report follows by email.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when booking.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
What will the report tell me?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, with photographs throughout. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely.
Why get it checked now?
A damp patch that keeps coming back usually has a cause that hasn’t been found. Thermal imaging with moisture readings can help narrow it down, rather than more guesswork. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Our price is from £400, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we will tell you which fits.
