Thermal roof survey in St Ann's Green
A thermal survey isn’t 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. The report is clear about what the images show and what they do not. Where something cannot be confirmed, we say what would help next. Common reasons to book are missing or slipped insulation and damp around roof outlets and upstands, on insulated roof spaces, loft conversions and commercial roofs.
Older buildings in small places like St Ann's Green may be listed or in a conservation area. A look from the air or with a thermal camera doesn’t touch the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care, before anyone decides what work it needs. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

FAQs for St Ann's Green
Does a conservation area affect roof work in St Ann's Green?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. 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.
Do you cover smaller places like St Ann's Green?
Yes, St Ann's Green is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
What can thermal imaging tell me about my roof?
The camera records how the surface temperature varies. Those patterns can point to trapped moisture, missing insulation or heat loss. We check what it shows with moisture readings.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We note visible signs like sagging or deflection, but we are not structural engineers and don’t carry out calculations. Where an engineer is needed, we say so in the report.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes. Photographs are taken throughout the survey, and the report uses them to show each finding alongside our recommendations.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed when booking.
How soon will I get the report?
Report times are set by the package. Basic is within 48 hours, Standard is 24–48 hours and Premium is the same day. Mention any deadline when you book.

Checking the roof from the ground
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.
Practical tips
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Check outlets after heavy rain
- Heat the home normally on the days before
- Use the report as a baseline for later checks
- Remember the conditions on the day affect the results
Many people send the report to roofers, who can then quote for the areas shown. Because the images are paired with photos, it is easy to find each area on the roof.
Check that loft insulation is laid evenly and hasn’t been pushed aside. Insulation is often moved when people work in the roof space.
Landlord and commercial surveys in St Ann's Green
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out by urgency where it matters.
Landlords and letting agents in St Ann's Green book surveys as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photos, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
How the survey changes by roof type
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
Water under felt or asphalt can stay hidden for years. The camera can give clues to where it’s sitting, when the conditions allow.
GRP fibreglass roofs
GRP surfaces can be shiny, which affects thermal readings. We allow for reflections and confirm findings with moisture readings.
Airspace, weather and St Ann's Green roofs
Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Steep or complicated roofs are often hard to see from the ground, which is where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help. If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.

When you need someone else

- Reliable images in rain, strong wind or on a wet roof surface
- Hidden layers that need to be opened up to check
- Confirming water without moisture readings

How the survey works
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you’d like to know. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely. Most surveys take between one and two hours on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Cottages and farmhouses around St Ann's Green frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We start with the roof, its history and any signs of damp or heat loss.
- The weather and surface conditions are recorded.
- A full inspection and thermal imaging are carried out together.
- We back up the thermal patterns with moisture readings.
- You get the report the same day, with an in-person consultation to follow.
Getting ready for the survey
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
