Thermal Roof Survey in Wingham Green
Thermal imaging to find moisture and heat loss patterns in a roof in Wingham Green, using drones and thermal imaging where applicable. Call or email for a price.
- Damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys
- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
- Gaps in loft insulation
Tips from our surveys
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Keep dated photos of any marks on ceilings
- Clear leaves from outlets and gutters each autumn
- Use the report as a baseline for later checks
- Keep a record of when stains appear
Buyers can use the findings when talking to the seller or agent. It is your decision how to use it, whether you ask for work before completion or discuss the price.
Keep an eye on ceilings under the roof for new stains. Catching a leak early stops insulation getting soaked.
Thermal roof survey in Wingham Green: what you get
Thermal imaging is useful when a damp patch has no clear cause. Water can travel some distance under a roof covering before it shows inside, and temperature patterns can help us trace where it may have come from. We combine the images with a visual inspection and moisture readings, so no conclusion rests on one method alone. Common reasons to book are damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys and damp around roof outlets and upstands, on insulated roof spaces, commercial roofs and ceilings below the roof.
Villages like Wingham Green often stand in open country, where wind can be strong. A small drone can’t fly safely in high 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. A change in the forecast can mean moving the visit to another day.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. It is useful straight away, and a good reference for later.

Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Wingham Green
Is Wingham Green within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Wingham Green?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and Wingham Green is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
How much does a thermal roof survey cost?
It’s part of the Premium Survey, from £400. You also get an in-person consultation and a 12-month follow-up. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size.
Are you structural engineers?
No. Visible signs such as deflection or sagging are recorded, but we do not provide calculations or an engineer’s opinion. The report will say if you need an engineer.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
Is thermal imaging useful on pitched roofs?
On pitched roofs, the camera can point to heat loss and some damp patterns. We explain what the images can and cannot tell you, and we check them with a visual inspection and moisture readings.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Landlords, agents and building managers in Wingham Green and across Kent can book any of our surveys. For a price for a let property or a block, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Leave it or get it looked at?
If a big flat roof may need replacing, knowing the wet areas first is useful. Images backed by moisture readings show where problems seem to be before you commit. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Wingham Green, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.

Common roof problems in Wingham Green
Unexplained damp is one of the main reasons people ask for thermal imaging. Water can travel under a roof covering or along timbers before it shows inside. The camera helps narrow the search.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
- Thin or uneven insulation in the roof
- Cold areas below the roof
- Water that travels before it shows
For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's Church, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that’s where a view by drone or thermal camera helps.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Whether the price includes VAT
- Their report turnaround times
Roof by roof
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
Thin membranes can show patterns from the layers beneath. Reflections from shiny surfaces can affect readings, which we allow for.
Parapets, valleys and junctions
Junctions where roofs meet walls, parapets and valleys are common places for water to get in. The camera can help show damp around these junctions.
Drones, thermal imaging and Wingham Green roofs
Goodnestone Park, about 2.1 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Wingham Green. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
Anyone responsible for a site like Wingham Primary School will know that thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.

How the survey works
The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. In total, it takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Wingham Green frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We start with the roof, its history and any signs of damp or heat loss.
- 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.
- The Premium report reaches you the same day, and we go through it with you in person.
Getting ready for the survey
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
