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 Hitchin?
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 Hitchin
Do you take on jobs outside Hitchin?
Yes. We also work in Letchworth Garden City and Stevenage and elsewhere in Hertfordshire.
Will I get a written quote for work in Hitchin?
Yes. Every quote is in writing with the work, the price and what is included, so you can compare it properly.
Can a landlord in Hitchin book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.
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.
