Add On Diagnostic Services
Thermal Imaging • Data Logging • Ventilation Testing Advanced Moisture & Airflow Diagnostics Across London, Kent and East Sussex
Our add‑on diagnostic services provide deeper insight into moisture behaviour, airflow performance, and thermal efficiency within your property. These optional extras enhance any damp, timber, condensation, or waterproofing survey, giving you stronger evidence, clearer diagnosis, and more accurate recommendations.
Whether you’re dealing with a complex moisture issue, a tenant dispute, a mortgage requirement, or simply want the most comprehensive assessment possible, these tools offer precision, clarity, and confidence.
Thermal Imaging
Identify Hidden Moisture, Cold Bridging & Insulation Defects
Thermal imaging is a powerful diagnostic tool that reveals temperature variations across walls, ceilings, floors, and junctions. These variations help identify issues that may not be visible to the eye, including:
- Hidden moisture behind plaster or finishes
- Cold bridging and thermal weak points
- Insulation defects or missing insulation
- Air leakage and draught pathways
- Areas at risk of condensation
- Dampness masked by recent decoration
Using a high‑resolution thermal camera, we capture detailed thermal images that help pinpoint the exact location and cause of moisture or heat loss.
Why Thermal Imaging Helps
Thermal imaging provides:
Non invasive investigation
no need to open walls or lift floors
Clear visual evidence
for reports, contractors, or insurers
Accurate identification of cold spots
contributing to condensation
Enhanced diagnosis
for damp, mould, and waterproofing issues
This add‑on is particularly valuable for condensation, and hidden leak investigations.
Data Logging
Monitor Humidity, Temperature & Dew‑Point Over Time
Data logging provides long‑term monitoring of environmental conditions within your property. Small, discreet sensors are installed for a set period (typically 7–14 days) to record:
- Humidity levels
- Temperature variations
- Dew point conditions
- Heating patterns
- Ventilation performance
- Daily moisture behaviour
This produces a detailed dataset showing how the property performs under real-world living conditions, rather than simply at the time of the survey. This can be particularly useful in landlord and tenant disputes where long-term environmental conditions need to be evidenced.
Why Data Logging Helps
Data logging is ideal for:
Condensation and mould disputes (landlord vs tenant)
Properties with inconsistent heating or ventilation
Flats and apartments with limited airflow
Complex moisture issues that vary throughout the day
Providing evidence for insurers, agents, or solicitors
Your final report includes graphs, analysis, and clear conclusions based on actual environmental performance.
Ventilation Testing
Measure Extractor Fan Performance & Airflow Rates
Ventilation testing measures the performance of extractor fans and airflow pathways using a vane anemometer. Poor ventilation is one of the most common causes of condensation and mould, and this add‑on provides measurable, objective data on how well your ventilation system is working.
We test:
- Bathroom extractor fans
- Kitchen extractors
- Utility room ventilation
- Passive vents and trickle vents
- Airflow pathways between rooms
- Sub floor ventilation (where accessible)
Why Ventilation Testing Helps
Ventilation testing provides:
Accurate airflow readings
in litres per second (L/s)
Performance ratings
against Building Regulations
Clear evidence
for tenant disputes or compliance checks
Identification
of underperforming or faulty extractors
Practical recommendations
for improving airflow
This add‑on is particularly valuable for condensation, mould, bathroom moisture issues, and rental properties.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need add ons for every survey?
Not always — they are recommended for complex or unclear cases.
Is thermal imaging invasive?
No — it is completely non‑invasive and does not damage surfaces.
How long does data logging take?
Typically 7–14 days depending on the issue.
Do you test extractor fans to Building Regulations?
Yes — we compare airflow readings to current standards.
Are these add ons useful for disputes?
Absolutely — they provide objective, measurable evidence.
