Thermal Heat Loss Survey

Shape Divider - Style tilt

What our New-Build Heat Loss Survey checks for:

Draughts

Draughts from poorly installed windows, doors and can vastly increase your heating bills. We use a thermal camera to check for this alongside thermal bridging externally and internally.

Underperforming heating

There is only one way of checking for heating efficiency and that is also using a thermal camera (whether wall-mounted or under floor systems). We check for air pockets and areas missing.

Insulation Voids

We check loft insulation for any gaps and we use a borescope camera to check for areas of cavity wall insulation issues (traditional block & brick houses only).

Why choose us:

​Our surveyors understand the building pathology of a new-build house and are qualified in Applied Building Thermography - a Diploma which exclusively suited to the building thermography practise.

No other snagging company offering this service are qualified, so be wary! We only carry out heat loss surveys in the winter to avoid misdiagnosing issues. 

​We use a borescope camera to check any anomalies with cavity wall insulation. This is important to provide proof to the developer of an issue alongside the thermal imaging.  We also integrate any relevant guidance into the report to help you and the developer understand the potential issue... see some of the following images for examples

Please note that we only carry out thermal heat loss surveys on new-build houses, constructed within the past 10 years. This is because it is our expertise and we want to to ensure our findings are relevant within the NHBC (or other) 10 year warranty.
