It helps you spot hidden moisture issues behind walls before they cause structural decay or harmful black mould growth.Quality Assurance on Home Improvements: If you have recently had new cavity wall insulation, a new roof, or double-glazed windows fitted, our infrared survey can verify the quality of the installation and ensure there is no thermal bridging.Non-Invasive Hidden Leak Detection: We can seamlessly find hidden leaks in your water systems, central heating network, and underfloor pipes without pulling up expensive flooring or damaging your interior decor.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to book a thermal imaging survey?For the most accurate heat loss readings, there needs to be a noticeable temperature difference between the inside and outside of your property. Because of this, the colder autumn and winter months are the ideal times to conduct an infrared scan.Will the thermal imaging equipment damage my walls or floors?Not at all. Infrared thermography is a completely non-invasive, non-destructive diagnostic tool. It simply reads the surface temperatures of your walls, ceilings, and floors without making any physical contact.Can your survey find underfloor heating leaks?Yes. Thermal imaging is highly effective for hidden leak detection. We can trace the exact layout of your underfloor heating pipes and pinpoint the precise location of a leak, saving you from unnecessary and costly floor excavations.

What Our Clients Say About Fact Services

"Called Fact Services when our Worcester boiler broke down in the middle of the night. The Gas Safe engineer arrived within the hour, diagnosed the fault immediately, and had our heating back on before morning. Genuine, professional, and very fairly priced. Highly recommend them!"

Mark T. / Wolverhampton

"We had a persistent damp patch that another plumber couldn't find the source of. Fact Services came out to us in Dudley, used their thermal imaging camera, and pinpointed the hidden leak under the floorboards in minutes. Saved us from ripping up the whole living room floor. Outstanding 24/7 service!"

Sarah J. / Dudley

"Fact Services installed a brand new gas interlock system and issued a CP42 safety certificate for our restaurant kitchen. Top-class commercial gas engineers—they knew exactly what the building controls required and worked around our opening hours to minimize disruption. Great honest tradesmen."

When is the best time to have a thermal imaging survey?

+

For the most accurate results, there needs to be a significant temperature difference between the inside and the outside of the building (usually at least 10 degrees). This makes winter, late autumn, or early spring the ideal times. It is also best to conduct the survey early in the morning before the sun warms up the external walls.

Do you have to move furniture or lift floorboards?

+

One of the best things about infrared thermography is that it is non-invasive. We can see through most surfaces to detect temperature changes without moving your furniture or damaging your decor. However, we may ask you to clear items away from external walls before we arrive to get the clearest possible reading.

Can thermal imaging find water leaks?

+

Yes, it is an excellent tool for leak detection. Water has a different thermal mass than building materials like wood or plasterboard. Whether it is a leaking pipe behind a wall or a damp patch caused by a roof leak, the camera will show the temperature variance, allowing us to pinpoint the source.

How long does a survey take?

+

A typical domestic survey for a three-bedroom house usually takes between one and two hours. This gives us enough time to inspect all external walls, windows, doors, and the heating system thoroughly.

Will the report help me lower my energy bills?

+

Absolutely. The report identifies "low-hanging fruit"—improvements you can make immediately, such as adding draught proofing or top-up insulation, which have a fast payback period through lower monthly heating costs.
