How we price thermal roof surveys
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Roof area
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
Booking your survey
A little information up front helps. It helps to include:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
If you are buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email when you’re ready.
About our thermal roof survey in Worth
A thermal camera can help when the cause of damp isn’t obvious. Leaks frequently run along a roof before they appear on a ceiling, and the camera can show patterns that help us follow it. The images are used alongside a visual inspection and moisture readings, so the findings don’t rely on the camera alone. If you’ve noticed missing or slipped insulation and leaks that are hard to trace, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a village or hamlet like Worth, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you can’t get from the ground. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first, and the journey is planned beforehand. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Worth
Do you carry out roof surveys in Worth?
Yes, Worth is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and the South East. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details.
Is my home in Worth listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What conditions are best for thermal imaging?
The results depend on the weather. Dry, calm weather after some sun gives the best chance of clear images. Our report notes the conditions and how they affected the findings.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you when you book.
How soon will I get the report?
Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24–48 hours and Premium reports on the same day. Each one is emailed, ready to forward.
How do I arrange a thermal roof survey in Worth?
Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Before replacing a large flat roof, it is useful to know how much of it is actually wet. Images backed by moisture readings show where problems seem to be before you spend. Outbuildings and barns around Worth are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Prices start from £400, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.

- Surveys on any day of the week
- Customer satisfaction of 98%

Airspace, weather and Worth roofs
Worth lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Calm, dry conditions after a sunny day suit thermal imaging best, so the visit is planned around the forecast. With Walmer Castle about 4.5 miles south-east, Worth sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Anyone responsible for a site like Worth Primary School will know that thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Peter and St Paul, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that’s where a view from the air or with a thermal camera helps. For hotels and guest houses around Worth, a roof problem found early is far less disruptive than one found by a guest, so it pays to find faults before guests do.
Worth is about 3 miles north-west of Deal, in Kent. Worth gets the same service as everywhere else we work: a careful inspection, photos and a written report. Worth is one of the towns and villages in Kent where we work. For surveys nearby, see our Canterbury page.

Roofs we survey in Worth
- Pitched roof slopes
- Insulated roof spaces
- Ceilings below the roof
- Loft conversions
- Flat roofs
- Commercial roofs
What we do, step by step
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. In total, it takes between one and two hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. For a village or hamlet like Worth, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We go through the roof, the problem and the weather expected on the day.
- We look over the roof from wherever it is safe.
- Thermal images are taken across the roof and, where there’s safe access, in the loft.
- We take moisture readings where the images suggest a problem.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets in another room
- Find any records of previous roof work
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed

Checking the roof from the ground
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.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
