Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly does a thermal imaging heat loss survey show?An infrared camera detects surface temperature variations. It creates a visual map showing cold spots (where heat is escaping or draughts are entering) and warm areas. This clearly highlights missing insulation, thermal bridging, and poorly fitted windows or doors.Can your thermal cameras detect hidden damp?Yes. Moisture holds a different temperature to dry building materials. Our cameras can identify the subtle temperature differences caused by condensation, hidden leaks, and penetrating damp, making them an excellent tool for non-destructive damp detection in Solihull properties.Do I need to prepare my home before the inspection?For the best results, we usually ask that you turn your heating on to a set temperature a few hours before we arrive. A good temperature difference between the inside and outside of the property makes thermal anomalies much easier to accurately identify.How long does the thermographic survey take?A typical domestic survey takes between one and two hours, depending on the size of your property. We will then spend time analysing the data to produce your comprehensive report.

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

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.
