The Benefits of Professional Infrared Inspections

Investing in a professional heat loss survey or leak detection service offers significant advantages for property owners in Burntwood. First and foremost, it takes the guesswork out of property maintenance. By identifying exactly where heat is escaping, you can make targeted improvements to lower your heating bills and boost your home's energy efficiency.For plumbing and heating issues, the benefits are even more immediate. Instead of tearing up flooring or breaking through walls to find a suspected broken pipe, our underground leak detection uses thermal mapping to locate the exact source of the problem. This not only saves you significant repair costs but also minimises stress and disruption. Furthermore, early detection of structural damp helps prevent costly long-term damage and protects your family's health from mould.

Local Compliance and UK Building Regulations

When conducting home energy efficiency surveys and diagnostics, strict adherence to national and local regulations is paramount. Our thermal imaging reports are designed to align seamlessly with Part L of the UK Building Regulations, which governs the conservation of fuel and power. This ensures that any subsequent insulation or heating upgrades meet the required legal standards for energy performance.Furthermore, because our technicians are fully Gas Safe Registered (Registration No: 149167), we can safely assess and service your heating infrastructure alongside your thermal survey. Whether we are advising on compliance with the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 or ensuring that your water systems meet the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999, Fact Services guarantees that all diagnostics and recommended repairs satisfy Lichfield District Council building control standards.

Frequently Asked Questions About Thermal Imaging

Can thermal cameras see directly through walls?Thermal cameras do not see 'through' walls in the way an X-ray does. Instead, they detect the surface temperature of the wall. If there is a cold water leak or missing insulation behind the plaster, it changes the surface temperature, which our highly sensitive infrared cameras can clearly detect.How long does a home energy efficiency survey take?For a standard domestic property in Burntwood, a comprehensive thermal imaging survey typically takes between one to two hours. This allows us enough time to inspect all rooms, the heating system, and the exterior of the building.Do you provide repairs if a leak is found?Absolutely. Because we are fully qualified emergency plumbers and Gas Safe engineers, we can seamlessly transition from non-destructive leak detection to carrying out the necessary plumbing repairs, saving you the hassle of hiring multiple contractors.

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 leak detection services in Wolverhampton & West Midlands and across the West Midlands.

Can thermal imaging find a water leak under my floor?

+

Yes, it is one of the best tools for this. If you have a leak in a hot water pipe or an underfloor heating system, the heat from the escaping water spreads through the flooring material. Our cameras see this "heat signature," allowing us to identify the leak's location without any digging.

What is the best time of year to have a thermal survey?

+

While we can find leaks year-round, the best time for a heat loss survey is during the colder months (typically October to April). This is because we need a significant difference between the indoor and outdoor temperatures to see clearly how the building is losing heat.

How long does a typical survey take?

+

For a standard three-bedroom house in Wolverhampton, a survey usually takes between 1 and 2 hours. This gives us enough time to scan all rooms, check the loft space, and inspect the exterior of the property.

Do I need to do anything before the surveyor arrives?

+

To get the best results, we recommend turning your heating on a few hours before we arrive to make sure the building is thoroughly warmed through. We also ask that you clear any clutter away from external walls or radiator areas so we have a clear line of sight for the camera.

Will I get a written report after the visit?

+

Yes. We provide a detailed report that includes the thermal images captured during the visit, along with an explanation of what those images mean and our expert recommendations for any necessary repairs or improvements.
