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 Oldham?
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 Oldham
Can a landlord in Oldham book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.

How do I pay for work in Oldham?

Can thermal imaging find gaps in loft insulation?
Yes. Missing or thin insulation shows as colder patches on the ceiling below.
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.
