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.

How much does a thermal imaging survey cost in Failsworth?
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 Failsworth
Can a landlord in Failsworth book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
Do you cover all of M35?
Yes, we cover the M35 postcode district and the districts around Failsworth.
Do you charge extra to travel to Failsworth?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Failsworth. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
Is a thermal imaging survey worth it?
It is most useful where a problem is hard to find or you want to check someone else's work. For a simple loft you can see into, a standard survey is usually enough.
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.
