Unlock your property’s true energy-saving potential with a professional Thermographic Survey/Thermal Imaging Survey. Whether you want to cut bills, increase home comfort, or meet modern energy standards, a thermal imaging survey pinpoints invisible issues costing you money and comfort every year.
What Is a Thermographic Survey?
A thermographic survey uses cutting-edge infrared cameras to visually detect heat loss, air leaks, missing insulation, and damp spots in your home or building. These non-invasive thermal images (called thermograms) instantly reveal hidden inefficiencies—showing you exactly where your property is leaking warmth, letting cold in, or risking condensation and mould.
Why Thermographic Surveys Matter for UK Properties
- Most UK homes are less energy-efficient compared to the rest of Europe.
- Around 26% of the UK’s total energy is consumed by domestic properties, with 80% going into heating and hot water[1].
- Many homes lose significant heat through small gaps, poor insulation, or undetected construction flaws.
A thermal imaging survey is the fastest, most accurate way to create a genuine, actionable energy improvement plan for your property.
Key Benefits of a Professional Thermographic Survey
- Slash your energy bills: Find and fix thermal bridges, draughts, and hidden cold spots.
- Increase indoor comfort: Eliminate chilly rooms, uneven heating, or cold draughts for a more stable, cosy home.
- Prevent condensation and mould: Early detection of cold patches helps protect health and prevent damp issues.
- Ensure insulation is working: Quality-assure new or existing insulation and spot missing or poorly installed sections now.
- Prepare for net zero: Get ahead of legislation, add value to your property, and achieve BREEAM or other sustainability standards[1].
- Ideal for home buyers, landlords, businesses and retrofit projects.
What to Expect During Your Survey
- Tailored consultation: We discuss your priorities, property type and specific concerns.
- Flexible scheduling: Surveys are most effective in colder months or during periods of temperature difference (morning/evening)[1].
- Comprehensive assessment: Trained thermographers scan both inside and outside your property for a complete heat loss analysis.
- Detailed report: Receive a clear, illustrated report highlighting findings, problem areas, and practical solutions—delivered within days.
- Expert advice: We’ll help you prioritise improvements for maximum efficiency and return on investment.
