How Our Thermal Imaging Survey Works

We have designed our heat loss surveys to be completely stress-free, providing you with actionable data without causing any disruption to your day-to-day life.Initial Consultation: We begin by discussing your specific concerns, whether that involves high energy bills, suspected damp ingress, or a drop in your boiler's performance.Comprehensive Infrared Scanning: Our experienced technicians use advanced thermal cameras to scan the interior and exterior of your property. This allows us to visualise heat patterns, detecting missing cavity wall insulation, draught sources around windows, and hidden plumbing leaks.Data-Driven Reporting: Once the survey is complete, we compile a detailed report of our findings. This includes visual evidence of the problem areas and practical, expert recommendations on how to resolve them.Because we are also highly experienced heating engineers, we can immediately identify if a heat loss issue is related to your central heating system or a structural property defect.

Frequently Asked Questions About Thermal Imaging

What exactly does a heat loss survey show?A heat loss survey uses infrared technology to capture thermal images of your property. These images display different temperatures as various colours, allowing us to clearly see cold spots caused by missing insulation, structural gaps causing draughts, and heat escaping through poorly fitted windows or doors.Is the thermal imaging process messy or disruptive?Not at all. The process is completely non-invasive and contact-free. We simply walk around your property with a handheld thermal camera. There is no need to move heavy furniture, lift carpets, or cause any damage to your decor.Can infrared technology detect hidden plumbing leaks?Yes. Thermal imaging is highly effective for hidden leak detection. Hot water leaks will appear clearly on the scan as a distinct heat signature, while cold water leaks or damp patches will show up as abnormal cold spots behind walls or under floors.

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."

David R. / Birmingham

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our professional thermal imaging and heat loss surveys in Wolverhampton & West Midlands.

    We take a consultative approach. We don't just hand you a report and leave; we talk you through the findings and help you decide on the next steps to improve your property’s comfort and value.

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.
