See How We Conduct Our Thermal Imaging Surveys
We offer a quick and efficient service to identify problem areas and provide you tailored information to rectify any issues
Initial Assessment
Step One
On arrival to your property, we will require your consent to access every room in the house. We then invite you to show us around your home, pointing out any areas that trouble you like drafts, cold spots or rooms that are difficult to keep warm.
Prepearation and Setup
Step Two
All planned ventilation will then be sealed to ensure the home is made airtight for our inspection.
Once we set up our blower door system at an external door, It generates a vacuum inside the house, drawing cold air from outside in. This stimulates a strong wind hitting the house from all directions and will reveal any areas where heat is quicklky escaping to our thermal camera.

Step Three
Once setup is complete, we will proceed to survey each of the rooms to identify any areas where heat is escaping, any potential leaks or dampness as well as inspect the level of insulation.
After our inspection is complete we will provide you with a detailed report of our findings as well as advise you on steps to fix any issues found in the survey.
