Thermal roof survey in Stone Street: what you get
Thermal imaging works best in the right conditions. It is useful to have a sunny day beforehand, a dry surface and calm air. Rain, wind and cloud can all make the patterns weaker. We’ll discuss the weather with you when booking, and the report explains how the conditions on the day affected the results. We survey insulated roof spaces, pitched roof slopes and ceilings below the roof, and common reasons people get in touch are wet areas near outlets and upstands and damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys.
In a small place like Stone Street, open ground can mean strong wind. Strong wind or a downpour stops a small drone flying, and calm conditions also suit thermal imaging best. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

Roof by roof
Loft insulation
In the roof space, the camera can pick up gaps and thin areas of insulation. We look where there is safe access.
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
On big single-ply roofs, the camera helps show where to take readings. That makes the survey more focused.

What happens on the day
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the loft space if there’s safe access. In total, it takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Older rural homes like those around Stone Street can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- You tell us about the roof and any damp, leaks or cold rooms.
- We check the conditions and note how they may affect the images.
- We inspect the roof and take thermal images during the same visit.
- Moisture readings are used to check what the camera shows.
- You get the report the same day, with an in-person consultation to follow.

Related advice
Stone Street: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Stone Street?
Yes, Stone Street is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Stone Street?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Can you use a thermal camera on a sloping roof?
On pitched roofs, the camera can point to heat loss and some damp patterns. We explain what the images can and can’t tell you, and we check them with a visual inspection and moisture readings.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
Will the survey show heat loss through my roof?
Thermal images can suggest where heat is escaping and where insulation may be missing. The survey isn’t an energy rating or a heat loss calculation, but the report shows where to look more closely.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or email us and let us know the address and what you’d like to know. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Will the camera show exactly where the water is?
The camera does not see water itself. Wet insulation holds heat longer than dry, so it can stand out, and moisture readings are used to check it.
Practical tips
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Talk to us about the weather when booking
- Check outlets after heavy rain
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Note where damp appears and after what weather
If the images suggest moisture that can’t be confirmed, we will say what would help next, such as electronic leak detection or opening up a small area.
Consider a repeat survey after major work on the roof, when the conditions are suitable.
How we price thermal roof surveys
We confirm the price for the job before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Which survey package you book
- How big the roof is
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
All our prices include VAT. Our price is from £400, including VAT. We confirm the exact price before booking.
Booking your survey
If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- What made you get in touch
To get a price for thermal roof surveys in Stone Street, call 07833 053749 or send us an email. The address, the type of property and what you need to know help us give you an accurate price.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
Honest limits
This is not a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer
- Reliable images in rain, strong wind or on a wet roof surface
- Insulation values or heat loss calculations

Thermal roof surveys around Stone Street
If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Across Kent, older roofs are frequently handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. Steep or complicated roofs are often hard to see from ground level, which is where photos from the air and thermal images help.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Lawrence, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement. Ightham Mote lies about 1.1 miles south-east, so building around Stone Street goes back a long way. For older roofs nearby, a look from above or with a thermal imager is a hands-off way to check condition. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Lawrence Church of England Primary School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.
