A thermal imaging survey is a non-invasive inspection that uses infrared camera technology to detect temperature variations throughout your home. By capturing thermal images, the survey can reveal hidden issues such as heat loss, poor insulation, cold spots, water ingress and electrical faults. 

Our Ignite Property Group surveyors use advanced Seek Thermal Cameras to assess the condition of your property and can deliver a detailed, easy-to-understand thermal report within 48 hours.

A thermal imaging survey from Ignite Property Group, is one of the most effective ways to understand how well your home retains heat. It helps identify areas where energy is being lost, such as through poorly insulated walls, draughty windows or unsealed doors. 

These insights allow homeowners to make targeted improvements, which can save money, such as reducing heating bills and improving comfort by targeting problem areas rather than having to do the whole house. Thermal imaging is also useful for detecting water leaks, damp problems and overheating electrical components that could pose safety risks. Whether you're buying a property or looking to improve your current home, this survey is a valuable tool for increasing energy efficiency and preventing future issues.

When you schedule a thermal imaging survey, a qualified Ignite Property Group technician will visit your property and carry out a full thermal inspection using high-resolution infrared cameras. The process involves using a thermal imaging camera to scan both the interior and exterior of the building to detect heat loss and identify any structural concerns or insulation problems. After the thermal inspection, you’ll receive a comprehensive report that includes annotated thermal images, detailed findings and recommendations for next steps. The entire process is non-disruptive and you’ll usually receive your report within 48 hours of the survey. 

Once you receive your thermal imaging report, you’ll have a clear picture of how your property is performing in terms of energy efficiency and thermal comfort. You may find your home is well-insulated and very energy-efficient, so you may not need to take further action. However, if the survey identifies problems such as missing insulation, air leaks or signs of damp, we can guide you on the most effective ways to fix them. You might choose to upgrade your loft or cavity wall insulation, reseal windows and doors or address any detected moisture issues. Our expert team is also available to discuss your results and offer tailored recommendations for improving your property’s thermal performance.

Thermal imaging reports are a cost-effective investment in your home’s long-term energy efficiency and safety. Prices can start from £250 for a flat and £299 for a house, whilst larger, more complex commercial projects are quoted on a case-by-case basis. While there is an upfront cost, the savings on heating bills and the ability to detect hidden issues early often make the investment worthwhile. You’ll not only improve comfort and reduce energy waste but also lower your carbon footprint over time.

Yes, thermal imaging surveys are suitable for almost any type of property. Whether you live in a modern apartment, an older house, a rental property or have a commercial space you own, thermal technology can help uncover energy inefficiencies and maintenance concerns. In light of rising energy costs and growing interest in sustainable living, more homeowners and landlords are turning to thermal surveys to ensure their properties are performing at their best.
