Thermal Scan Survey
Our Thermal Scan Survey uses thermal imaging to detect and highlight areas of heat loss, helping you improve energy efficiency and reduce heating costs without the need for a full heat loss survey.
THERMAL SCAN
At Snagging Solutions, we do not offer full heat loss reports or extensive energy assessments, as we are not specialised heat loss experts. However, over many years of conducting surveys, we have noticed a growing demand from homeowners for peace of mind regarding potential air leaks and insulation quality. In response, we’ve added a thermal Scan Service designed to meet this need effectively and affordably.
Our thermal scan focuses on key areas such as windows, doors, and loft insulation to identify any major air leaks or insufficient insulation. This simple yet targeted approach helps detect common heat loss issues without the high costs associated with full energy audits. It’s a practical solution that gives you confidence in your home’s thermal efficiency, ensuring there are no significant heat escape points in areas where it shouldn’t occur.
With our thermal Scan Service, you get a quick, focused check-up at a fraction of the cost, providing valuable insights into the performance of your home’s insulation.
Why Opt for a Thermal scan?
This survey is particularly effective for spotting air leaks around windows and doors, detecting hidden water leaks, diagnosing overheating electrical components, and even identifying potential pest infestations. Incorporating a thermal imaging scan into your snagging process ensures that your home is not only new but also well prepared to stand the test of time.

Heat Loss Inspection Survey FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Get the answers you need to better understand our Heat Loss Inspection surveys.
What is a Thermal scan inspection?
A thermal scan is a survey that uses thermal technology to identify temperature variations across surfaces. While not a full heat loss survey (as we are not heat loss experts), it helps pinpoint potential areas of heat loss around doors, windows, and water leaks, providing a visual representation of temperature differences. This scan can highlight issues like drafts or moisture ingress without providing detailed energy efficiency analysis
When is the best time to have a Thermal Scan done?
The best time for a thermal scan is during colder months when there is a greater temperature difference between the inside and outside of your home. This contrast makes it easier to identify areas of heat loss.
How long does the survey take?
A thermal scan usually takes around 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the size of your property and the areas you want us to inspect.
How much does the Thermal Scan Service cost?
Our Thermal Scan Service is offered as an affordable add-on to your standard inspection. It provides a targeted check at a fraction of the cost of a full heat loss survey, currently set at £49.00.
Can I use the results of the Thermal Scan for insulation improvements?
Yes, the results of our thermal scan can be a helpful starting point for making targeted insulation improvements. You can use the information to discuss potential fixes with your builder or insulation contractor.
