How Our Thermal Imaging Service Works

Our infrared inspection process is completely non-destructive, meaning no floors to lift, no walls to break, and zero disruption to your daily routine. When you book a thermal imaging survey with Fact Services, our meticulous diagnostic approach ensures nothing is missed.1. Initial Consultation & Assessment: We begin by discussing your concerns, whether that involves a drop in boiler pressure indicating a hidden pipe leak, or noticeable draughts and cold spots in a specific room.2. Advanced Infrared Scanning: Our expert technicians use high-resolution thermal cameras to map the temperature differentials across your property's surfaces. This sensitive equipment visualises missing insulation, escaping heat, trapped moisture, and underground hot water pipework.3. Data Analysis & Boiler Efficiency Checks: As Gas Safe registered heating experts, we do not just hand you a picture. We actively interpret the thermal data to assess your central heating system's performance, identifying sluggish radiators, boiler inefficiencies, or damp penetration.4. Comprehensive Reporting: You receive a detailed breakdown of our findings alongside practical, professional recommendations on the best steps to resolve any discovered issues.

Our infrared cameras locate underground plumbing leaks and hidden central heating faults effortlessly, preserving your flooring and walls.Targeted Energy Efficiency: By identifying exact points of heat loss around windows, roofs, and poorly insulated cavities, we provide the insights needed to effectively lower your energy bills.Early Damp Detection: Moisture in walls and ceilings cools faster than dry areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly does a thermal imaging heat loss survey involve?A thermal imaging heat loss survey uses an infrared camera to capture the thermal signature of your property. By measuring the surface temperatures of walls, ceilings, and floors, we can visually identify missing insulation, thermal bridging, and severe draughts, providing a clear roadmap to improving your home's energy efficiency.Can infrared inspections find hidden water leaks?Absolutely. Hidden or underground water leaks alter the temperature of the surrounding building materials. Our high-tech cameras can detect these subtle temperature differences, allowing us to pinpoint the exact location of a burst pipe under concrete or behind plasterboard without any destructive digging.How long does a building energy audit take?The duration depends on the size of the property, but a standard domestic thermal imaging survey typically takes between 1 to 2 hours. We require the heating to be turned on prior to our arrival to ensure a strong temperature contrast, which provides the clearest, most accurate diagnostic results.

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.
