This is a great time of year to book a Thermal Imaging Survey. This will identify:
  • Heat loss from draughty doors and windows
  • Poor or blown double glazing
  • Poor wall, loft & floor insulation
And help to identify simple things which reduce the cost of your heating:
  • Secondary glazing film. Window and door seals
  • Draught excluding
  • Radiator foil insulation
  • Thick curtains
  • Thermostatic valves (properly heating one or two rooms)
  • Loft insulation
  • Underfloor insulation
A comment from a recent client:
“We both found the thermal imaging survey informative and easy to understand.
Tim and Andrew suggested ways in which we could insulate the parts of our house that need improving, some of which are easy and affordable. Tim sent us information regarding under floor insulation which we are looking into, but there is no pressure put on you to buy particular products.  We would definitely recommend having thermal imaging undertaken.”

In winter 24/25 UDCE thermal Imaging illuminated home efficiency possibilities for a further 13 homes. Our third year of thermal imaging has taken us to over 60 homes! This winter we moved from a free of charge service to a £30 a survey or whatever you can pay – see below. A quote from one home owner was “I found it satisfying to learn more about how the house was performing.  The report and recommendations have brought my focus to aspects I wasn't aware of and the improvements won't be as costly as I'd feared.”
​
We have helped in particular two homes that easily could save a significant amount of energy from relatively low-cost improvements. That meant however, that these homes had been unnecessarily cold and lacking comfort for many years. Our surveys aren't just about locating cold spots. Our surveyors, given their experience, can identify causes and help to point towards potential solutions. For more extensive improvements we can explain the retrofit process and direct you to appropriate professions.
