What is a thermal imaging survey?
Thermal images work best when the house is heated and the outdoor temperature is low, ideally at least 10°C lower than indoors, so surveys are booked for cold mornings or evenings. We image the top-floor ceilings, the room-in-roof if you have one and the loft, and explain what each cold patch is likely to be. More about a thermal imaging survey.

This work is not an energy-saving material for VAT, so it is standard-rated if VAT applies. Where it is done alongside insulation, the quote shows each part separately.
Building regulations in England
In England, a loft insulated across more than half its area should reach a U-value of 0.16 W/m²K. Insulation alone is not usually notified to building control. How the rules work across the UK.
Questions about a thermal imaging survey in Barking
How do I pay for work in Barking?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
Can you visit Barking outside working hours?
Ask about early, late or weekend appointments when you get in touch, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can a landlord in Barking book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
Can thermal imaging find gaps in loft insulation?
Yes. Missing or thin insulation shows as colder patches on the ceiling below.
When is the best time for a thermal imaging survey?
On a cold, still, dry day with the heating on for several hours. Bright sun or rain on the roof makes outside images unreliable.
