Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Wierton
Will you come out to Wierton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Wierton?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Wierton is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
What will the report tell me?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, with photographs throughout. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too.
What happens next?
The report arrives by email, with photographs and clear recommendations. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation.
Does thermal imaging work on slate and tile roofs?
On pitched roofs, the camera can point to heat loss and some damp patterns. Our report is clear about what can be read from them, and we check them with a visual inspection and moisture readings.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
How long is the visit?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof; most visits take between one and two hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. The written report follows by email.
Thermal roof survey in Wierton: what you get
Flat roofs over extensions, garages, flats and commercial buildings are where thermal imaging often helps most. Patterns can suggest where water is trapped under the covering. Pitched roofs with slates or tiles are often harder to read, because of the air space beneath, so we combine the camera with an inspection from the loft where there’s safe access. We survey loft conversions, commercial roofs and flat roofs, and people most often book us about cold spots on ceilings under the roof and missing or slipped insulation.
Somewhere as small as Wierton, older roofs are often steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you cannot get from ground level. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first, and the journey is planned in advance. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Wierton
Letting agents frequently book on a landlord’s behalf, with the report sent to whoever needs it. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer.
What you can safely check yourself
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
How the survey works
We do not take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. The survey usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Older rural homes like those around Wierton 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.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe positions.
- We take thermal images of the roof and of the loft where we can reach it.
- We take moisture readings where the images suggest a problem.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
Getting ready for the survey
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
Book a survey
We survey roofs seven days a week. To find a date that works for you, phone 07833 053749 or email us.

Airspace, weather and Wierton roofs
With Stoneacre about 2.5 miles north-east, Wierton sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
Anyone responsible for a site like Boughton Monchelsea Primary School will know that a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit. If you run a business near The Mall Maidstone, big, flat commercial roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help most. The streets around a church like Church of St Peter are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that’s where a view by drone or thermal camera helps.
Wierton is about 3 miles south of Maidstone, in Kent. In Wierton, as across Kent, every roof gets the same careful survey. We cover towns and villages across Kent.

What a survey costs
We confirm the price for your survey before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Height and safe access
- The size of the roof
- House, block, shop or office
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.
What we need to know
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
To get a price for thermal roof surveys in Wierton, ring 07833 053749 or email us. Some details about the property and the roof help us give you an accurate price.
Roof by roof
GRP fibreglass roofs
Water can get through cracked GRP into the deck. We look at cracks by eye and use the images to see whether there’s a pattern around them.
Pitched slate and tile roofs
Slate and tile roofs are often harder to read with a thermal camera, because of the air space beneath. We combine the images with an inspection from the loft where there is safe access.
Useful tips for Wierton property owners
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Note where damp appears and after what weather
- Keep dated photos of any marks on ceilings
- Use the report as a baseline for later checks
- Don’t switch the heating off before the visit
Once we’ve been, the thermal images, photos and readings go into a single report. Each image is explained in plain words, with our recommendations. With a Premium Survey, you get the report the same day.
Keep an eye on ceilings under the roof for new stains. Catching a leak early stops insulation getting soaked.
