Frequently Asked Questions About Thermal Surveys

What is the absolute best time of year to have a thermal imaging survey?Surveys are most effective when there is a significant temperature difference (at least 10 degrees) between the inside and outside of your property. Therefore, the colder autumn and winter months are ideal for detecting heat loss. However, leak detection, damp surveys, and underfloor heating checks can easily be conducted all year round.Can thermal imaging technology genuinely detect hidden water leaks?Yes, absolutely. Moisture and dampness fundamentally alter the thermal properties of building materials. Our highly sensitive infrared cameras can map hidden moisture pooling inside walls and detect microscopic leaks from pipes buried under solid concrete floors, allowing for highly targeted plumbing repairs without causing unnecessary damage to your home.Will the thermal survey process disrupt my daily routine?Not at all. The entire process is entirely non-invasive, safe, and contact-free. Our professional engineers will simply walk through the property with a handheld thermal imaging camera, causing zero mess, noise, or disruption to your busy day.How long does a standard residential heat loss survey take?For a standard three-bedroom property in Oldbury, the onsite scanning process typically takes between one to two hours, depending on the complexity of the layout and the specific issues being investigated. The detailed written report is then compiled and sent to you shortly afterwards.

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.

Why Choose Fact Services?

+

Choosing Fact Services means choosing local expertise and technical precision. We aren't just camera operators; we are highly experienced heating and plumbing professionals.

  • Expert Credentials: We are Gas Safe registered and officially accredited installers for leading brands like Bosch, Worcester, and Vaillant.
  • Advanced Technology: We use high-resolution infrared cameras that provide much more detail than basic consumer models.
  • Comprehensive Knowledge: Because we also specialise in boiler installations and plumbing, we can offer practical solutions to the problems we find during the survey.
  • Full Insurance: We carry full Public Liability Insurance, giving you peace of mind while we are working in your home or business.
    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.
