About our thermal roof survey in Woodside Green
Thermal imaging can also show where a roof is losing heat. Missing or slipped insulation and gaps at the eaves often show up as temperature differences. It works best when the building is heated and it’s colder outside. The report shows the images and explains what they may mean. It isn’t an energy rating or a heat loss calculation. We survey ceilings below the roof, loft conversions and commercial roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are areas of a flat roof that may hold water and cold areas below the roof.
Older buildings in small places like Woodside Green may be listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

FAQs for Woodside Green
How do I find out if my home in Woodside Green is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Is Woodside Green in the area you cover?
Yes, Woodside Green is within the area we cover. We work right across London and South East England. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details.
Will the camera show exactly where the water is?
No, not on its own. It shows temperature, and wet materials often behave differently from dry ones. That’s why we check any patterns with moisture readings.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Can you check my loft insulation with a thermal camera?
It can show temperature patterns that point to missing or thin insulation. It shows most clearly when it is warm inside and cold outside. Where we can reach the loft safely, we check there too.
What does a thermal roof survey show?
The camera records how the surface temperature varies. Those patterns can point to trapped moisture, missing insulation or heat loss. We check what it shows with moisture readings.

Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
Landlords and letting agents in Woodside Green book surveys as well as homeowners. A written report with photographs gives you a clear record of the roof.
Why act early in Woodside Green
Repeated repairs that do not stop a leak are a sign the source hasn’t been traced. Thermal imaging with moisture readings can help narrow it down, instead of trying repair after repair. 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. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you need to know.

Thermal roof surveys around Woodside Green
If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. You’ll also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Where a roof is steep, tall or hard to see from ground level, drone photos and thermal images add detail.
Take a building like The Lenham School: big roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images show the most at once. For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's Church, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.

What you can safely check yourself
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
The survey, step by step
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey usually takes an hour or two for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. Older rural homes like those around Woodside Green 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, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe positions.
- Thermal images are taken across the roof and, where there is safe access, in the loft.
- Patterns that stand out are checked with moisture readings.
- Each image is set beside a normal photo and explained in the report.
Before we arrive
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

When to book a survey in Woodside Green
After a repair, some owners want to know whether the roof has dried out. Thermal images and moisture readings can suggest whether moisture is still trapped when the conditions on the day are suitable.
Common reasons to book include:
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
- Water that travels before it shows
- Damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys
- Damp around roof outlets and upstands
With Leeds Castle about 4.3 miles west, the area around Woodside Green has a long history. A drone or thermal survey doesn’t involve any work on the roof, which suits older buildings.
