Thermal imaging roof survey in Wigginton, Hertfordshire
Wondering about the roof at a property in Wigginton? You can book a thermal roof survey in Wigginton and across Hertfordshire.
- Cold areas below the roof
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
- Wet areas near outlets and upstands
The survey, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photos. On timing, most surveys take about one to two hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. For a village or hamlet like Wigginton, the journey is planned in advance: tell us 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’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- You tell us about the roof and any damp, leaks or cold rooms.
- The weather and surface conditions are recorded.
- We inspect the roof and take thermal images during the same visit.
- We back up the thermal patterns with moisture readings.
- The Premium report reaches you the same day, and we go through it with you in person.
Getting ready for the survey
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Let us know about parking near the property

Thermal roof survey in Wigginton
Thermal imaging is part of our Premium Survey, which starts from £400. It also includes a drone inspection where it applies, a structural analysis and a same-day report. An in-person consultation and a 12-month follow-up are included too. To book, just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you’ve noticed. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size. Common reasons to book are cold spots on ceilings under the roof and damp patches with no obvious cause, across loft conversions, ceilings below the roof and flat roofs.
Some older homes in villages like Wigginton are listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care, before anyone decides what work it needs. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

What happens if roof problems are left?
A damp patch that keeps coming back typically has a cause that hasn’t been found. Thermal imaging with moisture readings can help narrow it down, rather than more guesswork. For older village homes like those around Wigginton, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Every price we give includes VAT. Prices start from £400, including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.

Questions from Wigginton
Do you cover smaller places like Wigginton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you cover Wigginton?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Wigginton is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details.
Will thermal imaging find my leak?
It often helps show where to look. Patterns can suggest where trapped water has spread. We combine it with a visual inspection and moisture readings because the camera cannot confirm water on its own.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Will I get photos?
Yes, every report has them. Pictures sit next to the findings they show, so you can see what we mean.
What insurance do you have?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and details are available on request.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. Our survey isn’t a structural engineer’s report, and it does not include calculations. If we see signs that need an engineer’s opinion, we will recommend one.
What we look for on each type of roof
Pitched slate and tile roofs
Thermal images of a pitched roof can still show heat loss patterns and some damp areas. The report explains what the images can tell you and what they cannot.
Loft insulation
The difference is clearest when the home is heated and it is cold out. Our report notes how the conditions affected the images.
Useful tips for Wigginton property owners
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- File the images with your roof records
- Photograph damp patches with the date
- Keep outlets and gutters clear to stop water sitting
- Keep the heating on as usual before a heat loss survey
After the visit, we put the thermal images, photos and moisture readings into one report. Each image is explained in plain words, alongside what we recommend. Premium reports are sent the same day.
Watch for new damp patches on ceilings beneath the roof. Catching a leak early stops insulation getting soaked.

DIY checks: what’s safe
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
What a thermal roof survey looks like in Wigginton
The wider area around Wigginton has a long history of building, with Cholesbury Manor House about 2 miles south. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
Take a building like Bishop Wood Church of England Junior School: a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it. Take an older house close to Church of St Bartholomew (church of England): older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help.
