How Our Thermal Imaging Survey Works

Our diagnostic process is designed to be comprehensive, fast, and entirely non-destructive. When our Gas Safe engineer arrives at your Tipton property, we conduct a systematic scan of both the interior and exterior using advanced infrared technology.First, we assess the external envelope of the building to spot areas where heat is bleeding through the brickwork, roof space, or window frames. Next, we move indoors to map out precise temperature variations on your walls, ceilings, and floors. This process instantly highlights hidden issues such as failed double glazing, missing cavity wall insulation, or draught sources around skirting boards and external doors.Because thermal imaging relies on detecting temperature differences, we may ask you to turn your central heating on for a short period before we arrive. Once the scanning is complete, we provide a detailed analysis of the results. We will show you exactly where the thermal leaks are located and offer professional, practical advice on the most effective heating and insulation solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Heat Loss Surveys

Do I need to move heavy furniture before the survey?In most cases, no. Our thermal cameras are highly sensitive and can detect thermal patterns even if some areas are partially obscured. However, moving large items away from external walls can sometimes provide a clearer, uninterrupted picture of potential damp or insulation issues.Can thermal imaging detect hidden water leaks?Yes, absolutely. Moisture holds temperature differently than dry building materials like brick and plaster. Our infrared survey can easily pinpoint the source of hidden plumbing leaks or damp patches behind plasterboard and under solid floors, saving you from highly disruptive and destructive physical investigations.When is the best time to have a thermal survey completed?The technology yields the clearest results when there is a noticeable temperature difference between the inside and outside of your property. For this reason, surveys are highly effective during the colder winter months or early in the morning, though our advanced NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) cameras can achieve highly accurate results year-round under the right controlled conditions.

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.
