Thermal imaging and insulation scans

A thermal camera shows where heat is escaping from your home: missing insulation, draughts, damp spots and more. It’s rarely where people expect.

A common sign

“One room is always freezing and nobody can tell us why.”
A thermal scan can show what you can’t see. Missing insulation, hidden gaps or damp patches show up clearly on the camera.

About thermal imaging and insulation scans

See where the heat is going.

Thermal imaging cameras show differences in surface temperature. Cold spots on a wall or ceiling can point to missing insulation, air leaks or moisture. Warm spots can show heat escaping.

Scans work best when there’s a big difference between inside and outside temperatures, usually on a cold morning or evening. You get images and notes showing where the problems are.

Book the scan for a cold day if you can. The bigger the temperature difference, the more the camera can show.
