Independent Heat Loss Surveys in Salisbury Wiltshire
A Heat Loss Survey On Your Property Could Save You A Small Fortune.
There is an ever increasing concern over the cost of energy, with more increases expected in the near future. Our energy Heat Loss Surveys can save you money. We are being advised that energy costs per household could rise to as much as £3000 per year, and with so many properties not assessed for savings, there are increased levels of unnecessary financial costs and losses.
What is a Heat Loss Survey?
- A heat loss survey can detect heat loss through the cavity walls
- Check the suitability of the insulation within the cavity walls, if fitted
- Check the effectiveness and efficiency of the loft/roof insulation
- Ensure that you have an adequate thickness of insulation within the property
- Locate and detect areas of increased thermal escape, for example, windows, doors and walls
- Provide advice on how to reduce heat loss by as much as 50%, potentially reducing your heating costs by just as much.
CUSTOMERS REVIEWS FROM CHECKATRADE
Heat Loss Survey
I wanted a report to see where I was losing heat from my house (or gaining cold). They provided a very comprehensive report with great pictures to show where the problems were. Now just need a well known double glazing company to fix the issues.
Damp Survey
Alpine Surveys completed a damp survey on our house and I honestly couldn’t be more complimentary. The surveyor took his time, listened to me about the house, explained what he was doing, what his recommendations were, and why. Read more…
A detailed comprehensive Heat Loss Survey report along with recommendations is provided after the completion of the survey
EXTERNALLY
We assess the exterior of the property, to ascertain any defects that could be allowing heat loss.
- This includes the roof, walls, windows and doors.
- We undertake external Thermal Imaging where possible to confirm where heat is being lost around the windows / doors, and through the elevations.
- In the South we will also undertake Aerial Thermography, weather and location depending.
- Where required we will undertake a cavity survey, in order to check for insulation, or ascertain the condition of the insulation.
INTERNALLY
We will undertake a thorough internal survey, in order to ascertain what insulation is currently in place.
- We will undertake Thermal Imaging throughout the property or rooms of concern, in order to ascertain cold areas, damp areas, or locations where there is cold air ingress.
- We will assess the roof space in order to understand the current level of insulation.
- We will assess all other insulation that is present on the walls, or beneath the floors.
REPORTING
We will provide a detailed Heat Loss Survey report of our findings, which will include the following
- Our external assessment and Thermal Imaging
- Our internal Thermography
- Our assessment of existing insulation, and any areas where we consider improvements can be made
- Our recommendations of improved insulation and heat loss reductions.

- The windows and doors are assessed for condition and defects
- Thermal Imaging is undertaken in order to confirm areas of heat loss
- A cavity inspection is undertaken if required to confirm the presence of insulation, or to check the insulation
Internal Assessment:
- The roof space is assessed for insulation and the levels of insulation
- Thermal Imaging is undertaken to confirm areas of cold air ingress
- Thermal Imaging is undertaken to assess the spread of cavity insulation if present
- The windows and doors are assessed internally
- Underfloor insulation is assessed
Our surveyors will also assess any other elements of insulation and will advise on where insulation can be increased and heat losses can be reduced.

What Equipment Do We Use?
Using the latest in Flir Thermal Imaging technology with MBX, we are able to view not only heat pools within your property, but also cold pools.
Buildings can be thoroughly scanned using our Flir Thermal Imaging camera, identifying problem areas that cannot be seen with the naked eye.
Thermal Imaging can facilitate repairs quickly and thoroughly, and is much more cost effective than other conventional methods that can be intrusive.
We utilise the very best, and specifically designed cameras for building inspections, the Flir Ebx models. The cameras are specifically designed for building inspections, such as moisture detection, leak detection, insulation problems, and much more.
We also use the DJI Mavic Enterprise Thermal Imaging Drone, which, produces thermal representations of your roof and walls and identifies major heat loss areas that you would never of known existed without this amazing technology
Energy Efficiency Grants And Support Schemes
There are currently a number of government and energy supplier grants and funding available. Some will provide free upgrades to your insulation within your home, others offer to install cavity wall insulation.
It pays to do some research and find out if there is any help and support available to you.
Alpine Surveys Are Totally Independent
Once Alpine Surveys have provided a report detailing the current heat loss from your property you should then consult a builder to carry out the works needed to reduce the loss of heat.
In many cases, this could be a simple DIY project involving installing another layer of insulation within the roof.
Will I Get A Detailed Report?
You will receive a detailed Heat Loss Survey Report of our surveyors findings. Within the Heat Loss Survey Report, there will be recommendations to reduce the loss of energy from your property, detailed explanations and images of any concerns illustrating any issues picked up by the thermal imaging camera
