Teynham Street Thermal Roof Survey
Thermal imaging to find moisture and heat loss patterns in a roof for Teynham Street, from an experienced roof surveyor. You get a clear written report with photographs.
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
What we do, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes about 1–2 hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. In a small place like Teynham Street, access is normally the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- 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.
- A full inspection and thermal imaging are carried out together.
- We back up the thermal patterns with moisture readings.
- The Premium report reaches you the same day, and we go through it with you in person.
Getting ready for the survey
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of

Advice
Thermal roof survey in Teynham Street: what you get
Thermal imaging works best in the right conditions. It’s useful to have a sunny day beforehand, a dry surface and calm air. Rain, a strong wind or heavy cloud can make the images less clear. We’ll discuss the weather with you when booking, and the report explains how the conditions on the day affected the results. We survey pitched roof slopes, ceilings below the roof and loft conversions, and people most often book us about patches of heat loss across the roof and damp around chimneys and parapets.
Villages like Teynham Street often stand in open country, where wind can be strong. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. The visit is planned around the forecast, along with the journey and access. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Why act early in Teynham Street
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 them early can mean a smaller job. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

Airspace, weather and Teynham Street roofs
Teynham Street lies within about 2 miles of the sea, and coastal wind can be strong. Clear thermal results need a dry roof and little wind after a sunny day, so the date depends on the forecast. 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. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these.
Take a building like Teynham Parochial Church of England Primary School: thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof. Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.

Useful tips for Teynham Street property owners
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- File the images with your roof records
- Clear a path to the loft hatch before we arrive
- Do not switch the heating off ahead of the visit
- Keep outlets and gutters clear to stop water sitting
We note the weather and surface conditions, and how they may have affected the results. It helps you judge how firm each finding is.
Deal with small splits and lifted seams promptly. Once water gets under a membrane, it can travel far before it appears inside.

Other services in Teynham Street
Do you need a thermal roof survey in Teynham Street?
Some buyers want extra detail before they commit to a purchase. A Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, a drone inspection where it applies and a same-day report, which helps when timescales are tight.
Problems we come across often include:
- Water that travels before it shows
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
- Wet areas near outlets and upstands
- Water getting in at parapets and stacks
With Belmont House and Gardens about 4.8 miles south, the area around Teynham Street has a long history. Older roofs nearby can be steep and hard to see from ground level, and a survey by drone or thermal camera does not touch the roof itself.

Teynham Street questions
Is my home in Teynham Street listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Do you cover smaller places like Teynham Street?
Yes, Teynham Street is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
What’s the best way to book?
Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
How long will you be at the property?
It typically takes about 1–2 hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. You’ll then get the report by email, on the timescale of your package.
When does the report arrive?
That depends on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. The report is emailed to you.
Can you check my loft insulation with a thermal camera?
The camera can point to heat loss and gaps in insulation. The survey isn’t an energy rating or a heat loss calculation, but the report shows where to look more closely.
What a survey costs
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Roof area
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.

These details help when you get in touch:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- What made you get in touch
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
Our price is from £400, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email to find out.
