Expert Surveyors, Not Just Inspectors
Non-Invasive Roof Inspections Using Infrared Technology
Above Ground Surveys provides advanced thermal imaging across Kent, using infrared (IR) technology to assess the condition of commercial flat roofs quickly and without disruption.
Our specialised cameras detect temperature differences that reveal hidden issues like moisture, insulation failure, and water ingress—often missed by standard inspections.
Ideal for property managers, surveyors, insurers, and homeowners, our surveys deliver accurate insights for informed decision-making.
Smarter Diagnostics. Safer Buildings. Lower Costs.
Why Choose Thermal Imaging for Flat Roof Surveys?
Thermal imaging brings several unique benefits when it comes to inspecting commercial flat roofs:
Early Leak Detection
Moisture trapped beneath the surface changes the thermal signature of a roof. Our imaging identifies these anomalies early—before they become expensive repairs.
Improved Energy Efficiency
Poor insulation leads to energy loss. Thermal surveys reveal exactly where heat is escaping, helping you improve performance and reduce bills.
Non-Destructive Testing
No drilling, no disruption. Our method is completely non-invasive, meaning your operations can continue uninterrupted while we inspect.
Fast & Accurate Reporting
We deliver clear visual data and concise reports, outlining problem areas and recommended next steps—all without the need for scaffolding or manual access.
Infrared Roof Surveys Explained
Thermal imaging cameras detect infrared radiation (heat) emitted by surfaces. During a survey, our drones capture these temperature differences across the roof. Warmer areas can indicate trapped moisture or insulation failure, while cooler zones may suggest dry, unaffected areas.
We typically conduct surveys in the early evening, when heat retained by wet insulation is more visible against the cooling roof. Surveys are scheduled for dry, clear days to avoid inaccurate readings from recent rainfall or cold weather.
