Thermal imaging roof survey in Wilsley Pound, Kent
Thermal imaging to find moisture and heat loss patterns in a roof across Wilsley Pound, using drones and thermal imaging where it applies. Get in touch for a price.
- Thin or uneven insulation in the roof
- Heat escaping through the roof
- Leaks that are hard to trace
Thermal roof survey in Wilsley Pound
On a flat roof, wet insulation holds heat longer than dry insulation. So a wet patch can show as a warmer or cooler area on the camera. It helps us see how far water may have spread under the covering, which is hard to judge by eye. We then check those areas with moisture readings. Typical surveys look at thin or uneven insulation in the roof and stains that keep coming back, on ceilings below the roof, loft conversions and flat roofs.
Some older homes in villages like Wilsley Pound are listed or in a conservation area. A look from above or with a thermal imager doesn’t touch the roof, so it is a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof, before anyone decides what work it needs. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

How the survey changes by roof type
Parapets, valleys and junctions
Water often gets in where roofs meet walls, parapets or valley gutters. Thermal imaging can help show damp patterns around them.
GRP fibreglass roofs
GRP roofs are laid over timber boards, so trapped moisture can affect the deck. The camera can help show where to look.
How it works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. It usually takes between one and two hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. Around Wilsley Pound, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- We talk through the roof, any damp or leaks, and the weather expected on the day.
- We carry out a visual inspection of the roof from wherever it can be seen safely.
- We take thermal images of the roof to pick up temperature patterns.
- We check the patterns that stand out with moisture readings where there’s safe access.
- The report sets out the images, what they suggest and what we recommend.
Preparing for the visit
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in

FAQs for Wilsley Pound
Will you come out to Wilsley Pound?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Is Wilsley Pound in the area you cover?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and Wilsley Pound is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
What happens after the survey?
You’ll receive the report by email, and what you do next is up to you: use it with a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent.
Are you insured?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and details are available on request.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Is thermal imaging included in your surveys?
Thermal imaging is included in our Premium Survey, from £400. The Premium Survey also covers a full inspection, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and a report on the same day.
Checking the roof from the ground
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
What affects the cost of thermal roof surveys
All our prices include VAT. What changes the price is:
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Roof area
- Height and safe access
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Booking your survey
You do not need to know any roofing terms. It is enough to tell us:
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- The address and postcode of the property
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Thermal roof surveys in Wilsley Pound: local notes
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask. If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
If you live in an older home near Church of the Holy Trinity, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that is where a view from above or with a thermal imager helps. Take a building like Cranbrook Church of England Primary School: big roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images show the most at once.

Before and after the survey
Small things make a difference. Our tips:
- Tell us where and when you’ve seen damp or stains
- Check the loft can be reached safely
- Keep dated photos of any marks on ceilings
- Keep outlets and gutters clear to stop water sitting
If the images suggest moisture that cannot be confirmed, we will say what would help next, like electronic leak detection or opening up a small area.
Make sure loft insulation covers the whole area and hasn’t been disturbed. Insulation is often moved when people work in the roof space.
