Who needs a Thermal Imaging Survey?
Our industry-leading surveys – undertaken by thermographic specialists and eco-friendly building experts – are the perfect solution if you are:
- Living in a pre-1990 houses and are looking at improving comfort, reducing energy bills and cutting your carbon footprint?
- Looking to invest in redevelopment and retrofit opportunities and need to know where your money should be spent?
- Concerned about health conditions caused by fungi and moulds – a frequent issue in poorly insulated homes?
- Planning to install double / triple glazing, extra insulation or high-efficiency boilers, thermostats and timers but want to know before and after costs?
- Fed up with living in a house that’s far too hot in summer, cold and damp in winter?
If the answer to any of those is yes, an Eco Tiffin energy assessment is the ideal next step – with prices starting from just £495+VAT, our surveys will reveal exactly where your house is hurting your wallet, your comfort levels, and the environment.
Our Thermal Imaging surveys include…
- an overview of the property as to its year, construction type and architectural historical significance
- an energy loss survey when the walls are wet (and therefore, cold)
- highlighting any cold bridging, poorly fitted / applied insulation, and draughts
- a strategy for improving the thermal envelope, covering suggestions for loft, roof areas, all habitable spaces, and walls & floors
- ventilation requirements for improved insulation levels
- a full specification on the works needed to solve the problems, along with detailed costs, projected savings, and timescales for the retrofitting.

What is a thermal envelope?
I want solar panels or heat pump; would a thermal survey still be beneficial?
This will involve knowing how to retrofit the huge collection of insulation materials in the marketplace today. Some, more appropriate than others depending on the architectural heritage and construction type of each building. Upgrading or introducing modern heat pumps, for example including necessary alterations and adaptations to the existing systems can easily be 20/30k. Therefore, a heating engineer will need to know how you have improved the insulation to calculate and to recommend the smallest appropriate boiler/ heat pump which will save you insulation costs and running costs. Identifying and assessing the existing condition and thermal performance of the existing envelope and specifying the improvements is called “fabric first approach” and must be the beginning part of the improvement process. This process is best carried out by experienced, qualified thermographers and building surveyors.
What is a thermal bridge?
A cold bridge is also known as a thermal bridge or a thermal bypass. In simple terms it is an area where heat loss occurs. Thermal bridges in buildings impact the amount of energy required to heat and cool a space, they cause condensation, mould and damp within the building envelope, in turn creating an unhealthy living environment.
A thermal bridge is an area which has higher thermal conductivity than the surrounding materials, creating a path of least resistance for heat transfer. We discuss the term thermal bridge in the context of the building’s thermal envelope where thermal bridges result in heat transfer into or out of a conditioned (living) space.
The common areas for a cold bridge are:
- Window and door reveals
- Lintel positions
- Floor and wall intersections and abutments
- Wall and ceiling intersections and abutments
- Eaves details
- Dormer, cheeks, aprons, eaves and reveals
- Suspended ground floors
- Flat roofs
How long will a thermal survey take?
Depending on the size of the property and the complexity of it we would expect it to take anywhere between 3-5 hours on site.
