Beyond a thermal image.
Observe
Understand the property and the reported problem.
Measure
Record relevant conditions and thermal or moisture indicators.
Explain
Distinguish observations from possible causes and further tests.
Illustrative methodology. A thermal image alone is not a definitive diagnosis of water ingress, moisture content or insulation performance.

A specialist service for every stage of your building problem.
Need answers on site, a thermal model for your drawings, or a better-performing junction detail? Choose what you need below. Every enquiry begins with a free initial conversation and no-obligation quotation.
Find out why a room is cold, damp or uncomfortable.
Investigate cold surfaces, condensation conditions and suspected heat-loss or moisture patterns. A site visit can bring together thermal images, relevant environmental readings and observations of the building fabric.
Common reasons to enquire
- Why is this room colder than the others?
- Is condensation contributing to recurring mould?
- Could an insulation or junction issue warrant closer inspection?
What you could receive
Site investigations depend on suitable survey conditions, appropriate equipment and an agreed scope.
THERMAL & MOISTUREOn-site thermography and comparative thermal/visual assessment to investigate cold surfaces, condensation conditions and suspected moisture patterns.
Every commission is scoped before work begins. Travel, modelling assumptions, report depth and any additional specialist checks are agreed in advance.
Start with the problem
What are you noticing at your property?
Choose the issue that sounds familiar. Each explanation outlines how a targeted investigation could help, and where further testing may be needed.
A room stays cold
Cold walls, uneven temperatures or discomfort despite heating.
Explore the investigationMould keeps returning
Condensation and mould recurring at corners, ceilings or window reveals.
Explore the investigationA damp patch keeps appearing
Staining after rain, moisture by windows or unexplained dampness.
Explore the investigationStandards, compliance & technical guidance
Understand the standards behind building investigations.
Practical guidance for homeowners and property professionals. Learn when surveys or calculations may be useful, what evidence they can provide and what they cannot establish on their own.

Tell us about your building concern or the exact project brief. Any specified competence, assessor approval and deliverable will be confirmed before work is agreed. Referencing a standard here is not a claim of certification or accreditation.
Clear starting fees
Desktop reports from £100 · Focused site investigations from £350
For a straightforward single-build-up U-value calculation or initial junction review, or a focused site investigation respectively. Detailed modelling and other work are individually quoted.
Our approach
Clear scope. Relevant evidence. Useful reporting.
We agree the question, methods, reporting deliverables and fees before work begins. Findings distinguish observations from possible explanations and identify relevant limitations.
UK-wide enquiries
Your project does not need to be local.
Enquiries are welcome from across the UK. Travel, inspection scope and availability would be agreed individually before a visit.
Tell us about your building or technical detail
Send your project details, photographs or drawings for a free initial conversation and a no-obligation quotation.
Every investigation is individually scoped and quoted before work begins. Findings are reported with their limitations; thermal images alone cannot establish the cause of a concealed defect.
