You can book a BREEAM thermographic survey by contacting a Level 3 Certified Thermographer who specialises in BS EN 13187-compliant inspections. At Thermography Services (UK) Ltd, we provide fast, reliable, UK-wide surveys, ensuring compliance with BREEAM certification standards. Simply call us at [Insert Contact Number] or request a quote online, and our team will schedule your survey at the earliest available date.

The duration of a thermographic survey depends on the size and complexity of the building. Most surveys can be completed in a few hours, with reporting and analysis taking an additional 3-5 working days. Larger or more complex buildings may require multiple survey sessions to capture all necessary thermal data under optimal environmental conditions.

If a building fails a BREEAM thermographic survey, the identified issues must be rectified before certification is granted. This may involve improving insulation, sealing air leaks, or modifying construction details to reduce thermal bridging. A follow-up thermographic inspection is typically required to verify that all remedial work has been successfully completed before final approval.

Thermographic surveys contribute to BREEAM credits under: Ene 01 (Energy Efficiency) – Ensures insulation and airtightness meet energy performance requirements. Hea 04 (Thermal Comfort) – Verifies internal temperature stability for occupant comfort. Man 04 (Commissioning & Handover) – Confirms correct installation of insulation and airtightness measures in the building fabric. If major thermal anomalies are detected, rectification may be required before these credits are awarded.

A thermographic survey can reveal heat loss through poorly insulated walls and roofs, thermal bridging at structural junctions, air leakage from windows and doors, and insulation defects. These findings are critical for meeting BREEAM thermal efficiency requirements and ensuring a building’s energy performance aligns with design specifications. If issues are found, corrective actions must be taken before final certification.
