Pre-Purchase Heat Loss Thermal Surveys

Pre-Purchase Heat Loss Thermal Survey

We are an independent company specialising in Pre-Purchase Heat Loss Thermal Imaging Surveys for new and old properties in the following counties: London, Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Surrey, Bedfordshire, Kent, Essex, Suffolk, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Sussex, Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and Manchester.

At Pre Purchase Survey we conduct heat loss / thermal imaging surveys. This is a non-disruptive survey using a specialist device called an infrared camera. This camera detects infrared energy emitting from an object and assigns a colour based on the surface temperature of that object. 

When multiple objects are within focus the camera will display an array of different colours creating a ‘thermal image’. We collate these ‘thermal images’ into a report which include our analysis and recommendations for your property.

It is worth noting that although a thermal imaging survey can identify heat loss it can also identify the following:

• Missing / discontinuous insulation

• Performance of underfloor heating system

• Water ingress

• Condensation

• Damp

• Air infiltration / air leakage 

• Cold / thermal bridging

• Pipe leaks

• Performance of windows and frames

• Inadequate fixings

Conditions for a thermal image survey must be right and normally can only be conducted between November and February. However once having a thermographic survey at a pre purchase stage you will be fully informed on the measures required and could utilise such works as an element of negotiation with the seller.

A thermal image survey ranges from £200 - £500 depending on the size of your property. To find out availability and to book your Pre-Purchase thermal imaging survey please select the button below ‘Book Your Inspection’.
