Thermal and Air Infiltration Investigations

Our Level 2 thermographers can interpret thermal anomalies captured with thermal imaging cameras. Using both thermal drones and depressurisation equipment, our thermal investigations capture data at a level few others can match.

Data is only half of the equation

At Buildnostics we understand that some of our clients only want data, while others would like us to provide the analysis, explaining defects, options and exactly what the data means. Our clients can then make decisions based on accurate information.

Discuss the situation before instructing

Thermography, while an important diagnostic tool, is one of many available testing protocols. Contact us to discuss the best testing methodology for your needs. As-built testing often highlights performance and quality control issues, only possible after the work is completed.

Request a technical call-back

Briefly describe the issue and the context. If you have documents or photographs, note what you have. We will confirm whether a desktop evidence review is proportionate or whether a site investigation is required.
