Thermal imaging roof survey in Stonestreet Green, Kent

How a thermal roof survey works in Stonestreet Green
We present each thermal image next to a normal photo of the same area, so it’s easy to see which part of the roof each one shows. We explain what each pattern may mean, what the moisture readings found and what we recommend. Premium reports are sent the same day. You can talk the findings through with us at the in-person consultation. A follow-up 12 months later is included too. We are often asked to look into damp around chimneys and parapets and missing or slipped insulation, across ceilings below the roof, pitched roof slopes and commercial roofs.
Older buildings in small places like Stonestreet Green may be listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on 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.
It isn’t only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

Stonestreet Green: your questions answered
Is my home in Stonestreet Green listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is Stonestreet Green in the area you cover?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Stonestreet Green is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
What does a thermal roof survey show?
The camera records how the surface temperature varies. The patterns can suggest wet insulation, gaps in insulation or heat escaping. Findings are checked with moisture readings.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Can a thermal survey trace a roof leak?
It is a useful tool for tracing leaks, but not the only one. The results depend on conditions on the day. Where it can’t be pinned down, the report suggests a next step, like electronic leak detection.
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, but we check each finding with moisture readings.
Thermal roof surveys in Stonestreet Green: local notes
If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Older houses across Kent frequently have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. 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 aerial photos and thermal images help.
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Martin, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that is where a view from the air or with a thermal camera helps. Historic houses like Westenhanger Castle, about 3.7 miles east, show how far back building around Stonestreet Green goes. Aerial photos and thermal images let an old roof be checked without anyone disturbing it. Shop and office owners around Ashford Designer Outlet may find that big, flat commercial roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help most.

How we price thermal roof surveys
When we price a survey, we consider:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Which survey package you book
- Height and safe access
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Thermal roof survey starts from £400, including VAT.
What we need to know
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you get in touch, it is useful to mention:
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- The kind of building and roof involved
- When you need the report by
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.
For landlords and managing agents
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan.

What we look at
- Commercial roofs
- Pitched roof slopes
- Insulated roof spaces
- Ceilings below the roof
- Loft conversions
- Flat roofs
What happens if roof problems are left?
Wet insulation under a flat roof doesn’t dry out on its own while the covering stays on. In time, it stops insulating properly and can damage the deck. Finding the wet areas sooner keeps the work smaller. Older and listed buildings around Stonestreet Green may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
Thermal roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we will tell you which fits.
What you get with us

Can I check my roof myself?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
How it works
You don’t need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll take it from there. The survey itself takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Stonestreet Green frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- First we go over the roof, the problem you’ve noticed and the conditions forecast for the visit.
- We carry out a visual inspection of the roof from wherever it can safely be seen.
- A thermal camera records how the surface temperature varies across the roof.
- Any patterns of interest are checked with moisture readings where we can reach them.
- We write up the thermal images alongside ordinary photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
Book a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
