The aim of this paper is to show the results of applying non-destructive inspection techniques (thermography, ultrasounds and microdrilling) during the inspection works of a protected building. These non-destructive techniques have been applied in the inspection of the wooden roof to identify deterioration, density loss and defects as a means of assessing its conservation status. This work concludes that the union of these nondestructive techniques constitutes an accurate diagnostic tool for the on-site inspection of wooden structures and the evaluation of their conditions. Thermography allows to distinct moisture contents while ultrasound detects density loss in areas of the wood with high moisture content.
