Why Choose Our Thermal Imaging Surveys in Surrey?
What Our Thermal Imaging Surveys Reveal
- Missing or Inadequate Loft Insulation: Identify gaps in roof insulation causing up to 25% of your home’s heat loss
- Cavity Wall Insulation Defects: Detect sagging, voids, or missing cavity wall insulation reducing thermal efficiency
- Air Leakage & Draughts: Pinpoint cold air infiltration through gaps around windows, doors, skirting boards, and floorboards
- Thermal Bridging: Locate structural cold bridges at wall junctions, lintels, and window frames causing condensation
- Moisture Ingress: Identify hidden water leaks, rising damp, and penetrating moisture before visible damage occurs
- Underfloor Heating Faults: Detect breaks, cold spots, and performance issues in underfloor heating systems
- Flat Roof Defects: Discover trapped moisture, membrane failures, and insulation deterioration in flat roofs
- Electrical Hotspots: Identify overheating circuits, loose connections, and overloaded components preventing fire hazards
- Window & Door Heat Loss: Assess the thermal performance and air-tightness of glazing and door installations
- Construction Defects: Reveal poor workmanship, installation errors, and building regulation non-compliance in new builds

Why Thermal Imaging is Essential for Energy Efficiency
The UK housing stock remains among the least energy-efficient in Europe, with heating and cooling accounting for 63% of total residential energy consumption. In Surrey alone, approximately two-thirds of properties have EPC ratings of D or below, costing homeowners thousands in unnecessary energy bills annually while contributing significantly to carbon emissions.
Traditional visual inspections cannot detect the hidden energy inefficiencies lurking within your property’s fabric. Thermal imaging technology makes the invisible visible, providing objective evidence of insulation gaps, thermal bridging, air leakage, and moisture problems that standard surveys miss completely. This non-invasive diagnostic method requires no destructive investigation, drilling, or removal of building materials.
The Science Behind Thermal Imaging
Thermal imaging cameras detect infrared radiation emitted by all objects based on their surface temperature. When pointed at your property during suitable conditions (minimum 10°C temperature differential between interior and exterior), these specialised cameras create colour-coded thermograms where warm areas appear in yellow, orange, or red, whilst cold areas show as blue or purple. Our Level 2 certified thermographers analyse these thermal patterns to identify anomalies indicating energy loss, structural defects, or moisture issues.
Compliance with Building Regulations & BREEAM Standards
Thermal imaging surveys conducted to BS EN 13187 standards support compliance with Building Regulations Part L (conservation of fuel and power) and can contribute credits toward BREEAM sustainability assessments. For landlords and property managers, our surveys provide essential evidence for EPC improvements, planned preventative maintenance programmes, and regulatory compliance with the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES).
Thermal Imaging for EPC & Retrofit Projects
As specialists in both thermal imaging and Energy Performance Certificates, Micro Green Energy Ltd uniquely understands how thermographic surveys integrate with EPC assessments and retrofit projects. Our thermal imaging data provides crucial evidence for PAS 2035 retrofit assessments, helping you plan cost-effective improvement measures that deliver maximum energy savings.
Pre-Retrofit Assessment
Before investing in expensive retrofit measures like external wall insulation or heat pump installation, our thermal surveys reveal your property’s actual thermal performance. This baseline assessment ensures you prioritise improvements addressing your specific heat loss patterns, avoiding costly mistakes and maximising grant funding eligibility.
Post-Installation Quality Assurance
Thermal imaging provides independent verification that insulation, glazing, or other energy efficiency measures have been installed correctly. New build homeowners and renovation projects particularly benefit from post-completion thermal surveys, which can identify construction defects, missing insulation, or thermal bridging issues whilst still under warranty.
Grant Application Support
Our detailed thermal imaging reports support applications for ECO4, Local Authority Delivery (LAD) schemes, Great British Insulation Scheme, and Boiler Upgrade Scheme grants. The visual evidence of heat loss strengthens funding applications, demonstrating genuine need for energy efficiency improvements worth thousands of pounds.
Why Choose Our Thermal Imaging Surveys in Surrey?
🔍 Precision Heat Loss Detection
Our high-resolution FLIR thermal cameras (462×348 pixels, 0.03°C sensitivity) detect the smallest temperature variations, revealing exactly where your property is losing heat through poor insulation, thermal bridging, or air leakage.
💧 Moisture & Damp Identification
Identify hidden moisture ingress, water leaks, and damp patches behind walls and ceilings before they cause structural damage, mould growth, or health issues for your family.
🏠 Insulation Performance Analysis
Assess the effectiveness of loft, cavity wall, and solid wall insulation. Detect missing, poorly installed, or degraded insulation that’s silently increasing your energy bills.
⚡ Electrical Fault Detection
Spot overheating electrical components, overloaded circuits, and high-resistance connections that pose fire risks, ensuring your property’s electrical safety and compliance.
🌡️ Thermal Bridging Solutions
Locate cold bridging at junctions, window lintels, and wall corners that create cold spots, condensation, and mould growth, compromising your indoor air quality.
📈 EPC Enhancement Support
Improve your Energy Performance Certificate rating with targeted recommendations based on actual thermal performance data, increasing property value and marketability.
