Landlords, agents and block managers in Stone Hill
If you own several properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To discuss a number of properties, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the addresses.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed beforehand. We survey on any day of the week, which can make access easier.
Thermal roof survey in Stone Hill: what you get
We present each thermal image next to a normal photo of the same area, making it clear where on the roof each pattern is. We explain what each pattern may mean, what the moisture readings found and what we recommend. With a Premium Survey, the report reaches you the same day. If you have questions, the in-person consultation gives you time to go through them. There’s a 12-month follow-up as well. Common reasons to book are possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering and patches of heat loss across the roof, on pitched roof slopes, commercial roofs and ceilings below the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Stone Hill, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what can’t be reached safely. Weather and airspace are looked at ahead of the visit, and the journey is planned ahead of time. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Prices for thermal roof surveys in Stone Hill
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Height and safe access
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
Getting in touch
These details help when you get in touch:

- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- The property’s address and postcode
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
If you’re buying, it’s useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.
Common questions in Stone Hill
Is Stone Hill in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Is Stone Hill within the area you cover?
Yes, Stone Hill is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Is thermal imaging good for finding leaks?
It can help narrow down where water may be getting in. Patterns can suggest where trapped water has spread. We combine it with a visual inspection and moisture readings, as the camera alone can’t prove a leak.
Can you check my loft insulation with a thermal camera?
It can show temperature patterns that point to missing or thin insulation. It shows most clearly when it’s warm inside and cold outside. We look from the loft as well, where there is safe access.
What do I do with the report?
We email you the written report with photos and recommendations. It is yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.
Which survey includes thermal imaging?
It is part of the Premium Survey, from £400. You also get an in-person consultation and a 12-month follow-up. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size.
What’s the best way to book?
It is easiest to ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we will point you to the right survey. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking and it will help the survey.
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
Practical tips
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Do not climb onto the roof to look for leaks yourself
- Note where damp appears and after what weather
- Talk to us about the weather when booking
Premium Surveys include an in-person consultation, giving you the chance to talk through the images and findings. There’s a 12-month follow-up too.
Deal with small splits and lifted seams promptly. Water that gets under a covering can spread a long way before it shows.
What we can’t see
Every survey has limits, and it’s better to know them up front. Keep these in mind:
- Whether the deck or roof structure is strong enough
- Confirming water without moisture readings
- What’s inside walls or under coverings, without opening up

Flying and imaging in Stone Hill
Stone Hill is within about 5 miles of the coast, and wind off the sea can be strong. Clear thermal results need a dry roof and little wind after a sunny day, so the date depends on the forecast. 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. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these.
With Westenhanger Castle about 2.2 miles south-east, the area around Stone Hill has a long history. A drone or thermal survey doesn’t involve any work on the roof, which suits older buildings. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Sellindge Primary School, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Mary, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.
Stone Hill is about 5 miles north-west of Hythe, in Kent. Wherever you are in Stone Hill, we can carry out thermal roof surveys at your property. Our area takes in places right across Kent. For surveys nearby, see our Canterbury page.

How it works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photographs. On timing, it normally takes an hour or two for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Somewhere as small as Stone Hill, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- We look over the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- We take thermal images of the roof and of the loft where we can reach it.
- Patterns that stand out are checked with moisture readings.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
