At Thermal Imaging Inspection, we offer advanced infrared diagnostic services to help homeowners and businesses across the UK uncover hidden faults quickly, safely, and without disruption.

Using high-resolution thermal cameras, we detect critical issues such as heat loss, moisture ingress, electrical faults, pipe leaks, and insulation deficiencies, before they become major problems.

Whether you’re tracing a leak, evaluating roof performance, or undertaking routine maintenance, our thermographers provide clear, actionable insights through fully certified reports.

How Is a Thermal Imaging Inspection Used for Properties?

Thermal imaging inspections are often used to check how well energy is kept inside buildings, find gaps in insulation, spot water damage, and detect problems in systems like underfloor heating, plumbing, or electrical work.

These inspections produce detailed thermal images, called thermograms, which reveal irregular temperature patterns not visible to the naked eye. This method is trusted in a wide range of property types, including residential buildings, commercial premises, industrial spaces, and heritage properties.

Which Types of Buildings Can Benefit From Thermal Imaging Inspections?

We conduct thermal imaging inspections across a diverse range of buildings, each with its own set of needs, including:

• Domestic homes – Ideal for pinpointing cold spots, damp patches, and heating inefficiencies.
• Commercial buildings – Used to assess HVAC systems, electrical installations, and thermal performance.
• Schools and public buildings – Assist with planned maintenance, energy monitoring, and compliance.
• Industrial facilities – Help detect overheating components and structural energy loss.
• Heritage or older buildings – Provide a non-invasive way to assess moisture, heat bridging, and insulation issues.

How Much Does a Professional Thermal Imaging Inspection Cost?

The cost of a thermal imaging inspection ranges between £350 and £750, depending on the size of the building, the scope of the inspection, and the depth of the report required.

Costs may vary based on whether you’re surveying a small home or a larger commercial or industrial property and whether you need a basic assessment or full diagnostic documentation.

Can Thermal Imaging Be Used to Identify Heat Loss or Damp Problems?

A thermal imaging inspection is one of the most effective ways to identify heat loss and damp-related issues in both residential and commercial properties.

Cold zones on internal walls often indicate missing insulation or water ingress, while exterior scans can highlight areas of significant energy loss. This technology also detects early signs of condensation and hidden moisture buildup, helping to prevent mould and long-term damage.

What Issues Can Be Detected Through Thermal Imaging?

Thermal imaging inspections can detect a wide variety of hidden problems within your property, including:

• Heat loss – Escaping warmth through walls, roofs, windows, or poorly insulated zones.
• Thermal bridging – Cold spots caused by structural elements transferring heat.
• Air leakage – Draughts and unsealed openings reducing efficiency.
• Damp or moisture ingress – Water trapped in walls, ceilings, or flooring.
• Leaking pipework – Faults in concealed plumbing or central heating systems.
• Underfloor heating issues – Uneven heat, broken loops, or poor performance.
• Electrical faults – Hotspots in fuse boxes, circuits, or wiring that could pose a risk.

How Do Surveyors Ensure Accuracy With Thermal Imaging Scanning Equipment?

At Thermal Imaging Inspection, all inspections are performed in line with BS EN 13187 and ISO 6781 standards to ensure reliable results.

Our thermographers account for environmental conditions, surface emissivity, and reflective materials. Where necessary, we may heat or cool the space beforehand to maximise thermal contrast. Every thermogram is carefully analysed by trained professionals experienced in defect detection and building science.

What’s the Process for Booking a Residential or Commercial Thermal Inspection?

Booking a thermal imaging inspection starts with a brief consultation to determine your property type, the areas of concern, and access requirements. We’ll then arrange a convenient appointment, usually during early mornings or evenings for better thermal contrast.

On inspection day, a certified technician will perform a full infrared scan. Your report, which includes thermal imagery, expert analysis, and next steps, is typically delivered within 48 hours.

Do Reports From Thermal Imaging Inspections Meet Insurance or Compliance Standards?

All reports produced during thermal imaging inspections are compliant with UK industry standards, which include:

• Building Regulations compliance – Including documentation for Part L.
• ESOS audits – Helping organisations fulfil energy efficiency obligations.
• Insurance and legal claims – Providing clear evidence for damp or structural disputes.
• Planned maintenance – Supporting facility managers with condition assessments.
• Health & safety compliance – Identifying thermal risks in electrical or structural systems.

Are Thermal Imaging Inspections Suitable for Electrical Systems, Roofs, or Pipework?

Thermal imaging inspections are widely used to evaluate overheating circuits or loose connections, highlight areas of trapped moisture or poor insulation in roof surfaces, and trace faults or leaks in underfloor heating systems, all without removing finishes or causing disruption.
