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.

We explain what we find in plain English, and say so when nothing needs doing.
How much does a thermal imaging survey cost in Manchester?
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 Manchester
How do I pay for work in Manchester?
Payment terms are set out on your quote. We never ask for payment on the doorstep or in cash.
Do you charge extra to travel to Manchester?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Manchester. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
Do you take on jobs outside Manchester?
Yes. We also work in Failsworth and Droylsden and elsewhere in Greater Manchester.
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.
Can thermal imaging find gaps in loft insulation?
Yes. Missing or thin insulation shows as colder patches on the ceiling below.
