Thermal Imaging Surveys
We show surveyors, asset managers, and housing associations how to save time and money by using thermal imaging technology to plan retrofits that result in energy-efficient homes.
Predictably Find Defects Without Breaching Your Warranty
Act on Independent Advice - Not a Veiled Sales Pitch
Whether you are making repairs or refurbishments, your decision should be based on facts – not on what someone wishes to sell you.
You also need a housing survey that doesn’t damage the building fabric thereby creating more expensive problems.
IRT uses the latest infra-red technology to accurately measure areas of moisture, leaks and energy loss without mess, disruption or scaffolding.
The thermal images provide hard data – free from the assumption or bias that you risk with a traditional building survey.
Drone Surveys
Safe and non-intrusive inspections using high resolution thermal and visual imaging provide a fast, cost-effective solution with minimal disruption. Ideal for large projects, unsafe and hard to access areas.
We provide fully compliant drone surveys for buildings of all types, delivering high-resolution thermal imaging and structural assessments without the need for scaffolding, cherry pickers, or manual inspections. Our CMI Aviation Authority (CAA)-approved drone pilots ensure that every survey is conducted safely, legally, and in line with UK regulations.
- CAA drone regulation compliant
- Access hard-to-reach areas
- Comprehensive aerial data
- Safe and fully compliant
