Insulation & Damp Diagnostic Surveys

Before drilling, stripping or refilling anything, we find out what's actually going on. Borescope inspection, calibrated thermal imaging and moisture readings give you a proper diagnosis instead of a guess.

Overview

Diagnose first - then decide

Most damp, cold-spot and mould problems in UK homes get misdiagnosed. Rising damp is blamed for what's actually failed cavity insulation. Condensation is blamed for what's actually a bridged wall tie. A proper survey stops you paying for the wrong fix.

We combine a borescope - a tiny camera pushed into the cavity through a discreet hole - with a thermal imaging camera that shows exactly where heat is leaking. Moisture meters confirm whether high readings are surface condensation or a genuine bridging problem.

You get a written report with photos, thermal images and moisture readings. If we recommend work, we tell you exactly what and why. If we don't, we say so - plenty of surveys end with 'you don't need anything doing'.

What the survey actually tells you

  • Confirms fill type, condition and coverage inside the cavity
  • Identifies cold bridges, missing insulation and thermal loss
  • Distinguishes condensation from genuine damp bridging
  • Photo, thermal and moisture report you can keep
  • Independent - we don't recommend work you don't need
  • Useful for insurance, mortgage and pre-purchase queries

Our process

How a diagnostic survey runs

01

Brief & walkaround

You show us the problem rooms, we look at the elevation externally and note construction age and type.

02

Borescope inspection

Small discreet holes at strategic points let us see the cavity condition directly with a camera.

03

Thermal & moisture

Calibrated thermal camera and moisture meters build a full picture of heat loss and dampness.

04

Written report

You receive a plain-English report with photos and clear recommendations - or a clear no-action verdict.
