Thermal roof survey in Wingham Well
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. This can give an idea of how far water has travelled beneath the membrane, which is hard to judge by eye. Moisture readings are then used to check what the camera suggests. We survey commercial roofs, loft conversions and ceilings below the roof, and common reasons people get in touch are wet areas near outlets and upstands and areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions.
Older buildings in small places like Wingham Well may be listed or in a conservation area. A look from above or with a thermal imager does not touch the roof, so it’s a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

Different roofs, different checks
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
On felt and asphalt flat roofs, wet insulation can show as a temperature difference across the surface. We check those patches with moisture readings.
Parapets, valleys and junctions
Problems where roof slopes and walls meet are often hidden. A careful visual inspection goes alongside the images.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Once insulation under a membrane is wet, it tends to stay wet. Over time, it insulates less well and can harm the deck. Finding them early can mean a smaller job. In a place like Wingham Well, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.

How the survey works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes about 1–2 hours at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Rural addresses near Wingham Well can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start by discussing the roof, any signs of damp and how the weather may affect the images.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe viewpoints.
- We take thermal images of the roof to pick up temperature patterns.
- Areas that look unusual on the camera are checked with moisture readings where possible.
- The report sets out the images, what they suggest and what we recommend.
Before the survey
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Jot down any questions you want answered

Advice
Drones, thermal imaging and Wingham Well roofs
If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. You’ll also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Many roofs like these cannot be judged properly from the pavement, and that’s where a view from above or a thermal image earns its place.
Goodnestone Park, about 1.8 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Wingham Well. Photos from the air and thermal images let an old roof be checked without anyone disturbing it. Take a building like Wingham Primary School: big roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images show the most at once.

Common questions in Wingham Well
Is Wingham Well within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Do you cover Wingham Well?
Yes, Wingham Well is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and South East England. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We carry out surveys on any day of the week. To arrange a date, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What conditions are best for thermal imaging?
The weather makes a real difference. A sunny day beforehand, a dry surface and calm air all help. Rain, wind and heavy cloud can weaken the patterns, so we discuss the forecast when booking.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach.
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 can’t tell you, and we check them with a visual inspection and moisture readings.
What can thermal imaging tell me about my roof?
A thermal camera shows differences in surface temperature. The patterns can suggest wet insulation, gaps in insulation or heat escaping. Findings are checked with moisture readings.

What we are asked to look at in Wingham Well
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.
Common reasons to book include:
- Stains that keep coming back
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
- Water that travels before it shows
- Damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys
Take an older house close to St Mary's Church: tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
What we cannot see
It helps to know what a survey won’t do before you book:
- A formal energy assessment
- What’s inside walls or under coverings, without opening up
- Readings unaffected by sun, shade or reflections
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will tell you before you book. What a survey covers and does not.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses

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.
