Heat Loss Surveys

We often conduct heat loss surveys for private clients who find that their heating costs have soared or who have a particular concern with a room, extension or the whole house. We can carry out a survey on your home or property and produce a report which will clearly identify heat loss or energy wastage. Very often the problems are not what the home owner thought they would be.

Commercial Building Thermographic Surveys & Investigations

Please take a look at this commercial building thermographic survey sample report which provides examples of the many types of defect we are able to detect within commercial buildings using our technology.

Residential Building Thermographic Surveys

Please feel free to download this sample report which provides examples of the many types of defect we are able to detect within residential buildings using our technology.

Image shows heat loss from the old (right) part of the building with the new building (left) having much better levels of insulation.

Here is a list of the typical problems we can detect for you:

• Missing or discontinuous insulation.
• Thermal bridging.
• Air leakage.
• Air infiltration (drafts).
• Defective seals in doors or windows
• Water ingress / leaks.
• De-lamination of rendering.

Thermal bridging, air leakage and air infiltration are all ways in which heat is lost or energy is wasted. We highlight these areas and give you recommendations on how to improve the thermal performance of your building.

Air Infiltration or drafts can have a major impact on the heating within a property and can significantly increase heating bills. We are able to locate these areas and recommend actions to stop or restrict them.

We are able to detect missing, sagged or wet areas of insulation within walls, structures and ceilings. These areas not only lose heat but can also allow condensation to form which can cause mould growth.

We have developed an inspection procedure for residential properties and commercial premises which allows us to survey a property both internally and externally to highlight heat loss and energy wastage. We will carry out the survey and produce a clear professional report within 4 working days.

Our survey package is extremely cost effective and easy to set up so Contact us today for a free quote to carry out a survey on your property.

We are able to detect buried pipes, inspect under floor heating systems, locate hidden structures and find leaks within buildings. We will produce a report containing thermal images, digital images and analysis from our survey.

We have a range of additional test and inspection equipment including Blower door used to create a negative pressure in buildings to locate the source of drafts, borescopes and flexible camera systems.

Using a range of inspection methods allows us to provide accurate and detailed information to you and ensure that cost is minimised when conducting repairs or alterations.
