Baldock Thermal Roof Survey
Thermal roof surveys across Baldock, with over 20 years’ experience behind it. You get a clear report with photos.
- Cold spots on ceilings under the roof
- Leaks far from where the stain appears
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
Thermal roof survey in Baldock
Your report sets out the thermal images alongside ordinary photos, making it clear where on the roof each pattern is. Each one comes with an explanation, the moisture readings and our recommendation. Premium reports are sent the same day. You can talk the findings through with us at the in-person consultation. There’s a 12-month follow-up as well. We’re often asked to look into stains that keep coming back and leaks far from where the stain appears, on pitched roof slopes, flat roofs and loft conversions.
Older cottages and houses around Baldock may have little insulation, and some have extensions with their own roofs. Thermal patterns and close-up photos together give a fuller picture of the roof. Anything that looks like moisture is checked with a meter. Calm, dry weather suits both methods, so the date is set with the forecast in mind.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Honest limits
A survey is a careful look at the roof, but it cannot do everything. The main limits are:
- Clear results when the conditions on the day are poor
- A structural engineer’s assessment
- Insulation values or heat loss calculations

What happens if roof problems are left?
A poorly insulated roof loses heat year after year. The camera can point to gaps and thin areas in the insulation, so improvements can go where they’re needed. Blocked gutters on homes around Baldock overflow and soak walls, particularly where trees overhang. Dealing with the cause is simple; drying out a wall is not.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Our price is from £400, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

Thermal roof surveys around Baldock
About 3.6 miles north lies Hinxworth Place, a reminder of how long the area around Baldock has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Where a roof is steep, tall or hard to see from the ground, drone photos and thermal images add detail.
Anyone responsible for a site like Hartsfield Junior Mixed and Infant School will know that a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit. Take an older house close to Church of St. Mary the Virgin: thin or patchy insulation under an old roof frequently shows up clearly on a thermal image.

Questions from Baldock
Do you cover Baldock?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Baldock is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Baldock?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
What’s in the survey report?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos, and ends with what we recommend. Points are put by urgency where it matters.
How do I book a survey in Baldock?
Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Will I get photos?
Yes. Photographs are part of every report, so you can see each point for yourself.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.

Surveys run on any day of the week. To arrange a date, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
What affects the cost of thermal roof surveys
Survey packages start from £150, including VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- The size of the roof
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
For a price for your roof in Baldock, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Booking your survey
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you get in touch, it helps to mention:
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
Thermal roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form to find out.
How it works
We check the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the roof space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey normally takes between one and two hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. In a smaller place like Baldock, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. Low roofs on bungalows can often be seen well from ground level, and the loft shows the rest, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where it applies.
- You let us know about the roof and any damp, leaks or cold rooms.
- We check the conditions and note how they may affect the images.
- A full inspection and thermal imaging are carried out together.
- We back up the thermal patterns with moisture readings.
- You get the report the same day, with an in-person consultation to follow.
How to prepare
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Find any records of previous roof work

What else we do in Baldock
Different roofs, different checks
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.
Loft insulation
In the loft space, the camera can pick up gaps and thin areas of insulation. We look where there is safe access.
Tips that help
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Keep dated photos of any marks on ceilings
- Don’t switch the heating off ahead of the visit
- Keep a record of when stains appear
- Ask us about the forecast if rain is expected
Premium Surveys include an in-person consultation, giving you the chance to talk through the images and findings. A follow-up 12 months later is included as well.
Deal with small splits and lifted seams promptly. Once water gets under a membrane, it can travel far before it appears inside.
