Thermal Roof Survey in Mundon
Not sure what state the roof is in? We carry out thermal roof surveys in Mundon and across Essex, with plain-English findings.
- Water getting in at parapets and stacks
- Cold spots on ceilings under the roof
- Wet areas near outlets and upstands
How the survey works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a report with photos, sent to you by email. As for time on site, most surveys take an hour or two on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In a hamlet or village like Mundon, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You tell us about the roof and any damp, leaks or cold rooms.
- We check the conditions and note how they may affect the images.
- We inspect the roof and take thermal images during the same visit.
- Moisture readings are used to check what the camera shows.
- The Premium report reaches you the same day, and we go through it with you in person.
Preparing for the visit
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Note where any stains or damp appear
Arrange a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Advice
Thermal roof survey in Mundon: what you get
Our Premium Survey, from £400, brings together a full roof inspection and thermal imaging. It also includes a drone inspection where applicable, a structural analysis and a same-day report. There is an in-person consultation as well, plus a follow-up 12 months later. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a note of what you’ve noticed. For big commercial roofs, we quote on size and access. We survey insulated roof spaces, commercial roofs and loft conversions, and people most often book us about wet insulation beneath the membrane and damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys.
Some older homes in villages like Mundon are listed or in a conservation area. A look from the air or with a thermal camera does not touch the roof, so it’s a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Before and after the survey
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Keep outlets and gutters clear to stop water sitting
- Check from the ground or a window, never by climbing
- Keep the heating on as usual before a heat loss survey
- Talk to us about the weather when booking
You also get an in-person consultation with a Premium Survey, giving you the chance to talk through the images and findings. There’s a 12-month follow-up too.
Watch for new damp patches on ceilings beneath the roof. Catching a leak early stops insulation getting soaked.
DIY checks: what’s safe
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
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.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Mundon
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Bigger roofs take more time.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Drones, thermal imaging and Mundon roofs
The coast is about 2 miles or less from Mundon, and coastal wind can be strong. Calm, dry conditions after a sunny day suit thermal imaging best, so the visit is planned around the forecast. If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near St Mary's Church, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that is where a view by drone or thermal camera helps. Around Mundon, as everywhere, small roof faults are simplest to sort before they let water in.

Prices for thermal roof surveys in Mundon
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The roof’s overall size
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
What we need to know
You do not need to know any roofing terms. Just tell us:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. You’ll know the price before anything is booked.
FAQs for Mundon
How do I find out if my home in Mundon is listed?
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.
Do you cover smaller places like Mundon?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you as you book.
Can you use a thermal camera on a sloping roof?
It can help, but the results are often less clear than on a flat roof. Slates and tiles over a ventilated space can mask what’s below, so we also look from the loft where it is safe.
What happens next?
You will get the report by email, with photographs and clear recommendations. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation, so you can talk the findings through.
Does the weather affect a thermal survey?
The weather makes a real difference. It works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof surface and little wind. Rain, wind and heavy cloud can weaken the patterns, so we talk through the forecast as you book.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and visible signs such as sagging are noted, but calculations and an engineer’s opinion are outside what we do. The report will say if you need an engineer.
Leave it or get it looked at?
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. For an older or listed building in a place like Mundon, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
All our prices include VAT. Our price is from £400, including VAT. You’ll know the exact price before booking.
