Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Mount Pleasant
Our Premium Survey, from £400, brings together a full roof inspection and thermal imaging. You also get a drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and a report on the same day. An in-person consultation and a 12-month follow-up are included too. You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a note of what you’ve noticed. For big commercial roofs, we quote on size and access. We are often asked to look into cold areas below the roof and damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys, on flat roofs, pitched roof slopes and insulated roof spaces.
In a small place like Mount Pleasant, open ground can mean strong wind. A small drone cannot fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

Thermal roof surveys around Mount Pleasant
The flight restriction zone around Stansted Airport comes within about 2 miles of Mount Pleasant. Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the exact boundary for the address before flying. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Manuden Primary School, big roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images show the most at once. For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Mary the Virgin, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that’s where a view from above or with a thermal imager helps.
Mount Pleasant is about 4 miles north of Bishop's Stortford, in Hertfordshire. Roofs in Mount Pleasant get the same thorough look as anywhere else in Hertfordshire. Our Hertfordshire coverage includes Mount Pleasant and the places around it. Chelmsford is in our area too.

Tips that help
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Ask us about the forecast if rain is expected
- Check outlets after heavy rain
- Use the report as a baseline for later checks
- Let us know where and when you’ve seen damp or stains
Where a pattern cannot be confirmed, the report says what could help, such as electronic leak detection or opening up a small area.
Deal with small splits and lifted seams promptly. Once water gets under a membrane, it can travel far before it appears inside.
Mount Pleasant questions
Are there drone restrictions around Mount Pleasant?
Usually it comes down to two things: the airspace at the address and the weather. Mount Pleasant is about 2 miles from the edge of the flight restriction zone around Stansted Airport. The exact boundary is checked for each address before any flight, and a roof inside it needs permission before we fly. Strong wind or heavy rain also stops a small drone flying, though the rest of the survey goes ahead either way.
Is my home in Mount Pleasant listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Are you insured?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
What’s in the survey report?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, with photos throughout. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, so you know exactly what was covered.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We carry out surveys seven days a week. To find a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. Access is agreed with the tenant beforehand.
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget.

What we do, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes about 1–2 hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. For a village or hamlet like Mount Pleasant, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect what can safely be seen, inside and out.
- We talk through the roof, any damp or leaks, and the weather expected on the day.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe viewpoints.
- We take thermal images of the roof to pick up temperature patterns.
- Any patterns of interest are checked with moisture readings where we can reach them.
- You get a report with thermal images, photos and our recommendations.
Preparing for the visit

- Check the loft hatch can be reached

Advice
Honest limits
No survey can tell you everything, and it is better to know them up front. Keep these in mind:

Why act early in Mount Pleasant
A poorly insulated roof loses heat year after year. Thermal images can show where insulation is missing or has slipped, so improvements can go where they’re needed. Outbuildings and barns around Mount Pleasant are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
