Sissinghurst Thermal Roof Survey
Thermal imaging to find moisture and heat loss patterns in a roof in Sissinghurst, with drones and thermal imaging where they help. Get in touch for a price.
- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
- Damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys
How we price thermal roof surveys
When we price a survey, we consider:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Which survey package you book
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £400, including VAT.
What we need to know
There is no need for technical words. It’s enough to tell us:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
Prices start from £400, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.
About our thermal roof survey in Sissinghurst
A thermal survey is not a quick fix for every roof problem. It shows surface temperature, and things like sun, shade, reflections and wind all affect the readings. That’s why we check findings with moisture readings and a close visual inspection. Our report says plainly what the camera picked up and how sure we can be. Where something can’t be confirmed, we say what would help next. Common reasons to book are missing or slipped insulation and stains that keep coming back, across loft conversions, commercial roofs and insulated roof spaces.
Older buildings in small places like Sissinghurst may be listed or in a conservation area. A look by drone or thermal camera doesn’t touch the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care, before anyone decides what work it needs. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

When you need someone else
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Bear these in mind:
- Confirming water without moisture readings
- Reliable images in rain, strong wind or on a wet roof surface
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer

What else we do in Sissinghurst
For landlords and managing agents
With a portfolio of properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To arrange surveys for several addresses, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the addresses.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer, so they’re priced to suit.
Airspace, weather and Sissinghurst roofs
If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Many older homes in Kent have handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles held by pegs through two holes, and tile-hanging on their upper walls. 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 such as Cranbrook School, a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of the Holy Trinity, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help.
Sissinghurst is about 11 miles south of Maidstone, in Kent. Wherever you are in Sissinghurst, we can carry out thermal roof surveys at your property. Our area takes in places right across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. There’s also a page for Maidstone.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Thermal images can suggest the extent of wet areas without cutting into the roof. That helps you and your roofer decide what really needs replacing. Older and listed buildings around Sissinghurst may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.

Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Sissinghurst
How do I find out if my home in Sissinghurst is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Will you come out to Sissinghurst?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Will the survey show heat loss through my roof?
The camera can point to heat loss and gaps in insulation. We do not give energy ratings or heat loss calculations, but the report shows where to look more closely.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
What insurance do you have?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and visible signs such as sagging are noted, but calculations and an engineer’s opinion are outside what we do. The report will say if you need an engineer.
How do I arrange a thermal roof survey in Sissinghurst?
To book, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us the address and what you’d like to know. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Roof by roof
Loft insulation
Heat loss shows most clearly when it’s warm inside and colder outside. We explain in the report how the conditions on the day affected what we saw.
GRP fibreglass roofs
Water under a GRP roof can reach the timber deck. The camera can help show where to look.
How the survey works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, take photos as we go and make notes for the report. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. Somewhere as small as Sissinghurst, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe positions.
- Thermal images are taken across the roof and, where there’s safe access, in the loft.
- We take moisture readings where the images suggest a problem.
- Each image is set beside a normal photo and explained in the report.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
Getting a price
Getting a price is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and give us a few details about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
