Thermographic Inspections/ Surveys In Leeds

By choosing Build IR Ltd, you will receive a large range of benefits whilst we carry out your thermal surveys, whether for personal or commercial use.

Our thermal imaging cameras can capture thermographic measurements as we go around your structure and record the varied temperatures of your building’s envelope.

Our team may suggest a quality control survey to confirm that your insulation has been correctly installed and no heat is able to escape during these surveys.

Residential Homeowners: Assessments of your home can help to quickly identify areas which are costing you money, or leading to uncomfortable living conditions.

Facility Managers: Losing heat from your properties, whether they are small or large, can have a substantial financial impact for both you and any tenants. Using our cameras to identify areas of heat loss will help instil confidence with your tenants as you are addressing the heating issues and reducing your carbon footprint.

Commercial Developers: As you come to the end of your project, confirm the completion and ensure that there are no defects or issues within the building before finalising and handing over the building!

Moisture / Water Leak Inspections In Leeds

The damaging effects that moisture or water leaks may have on our buildings’ façades are something that many of us are aware of.

Unfortunately, your construction materials, fixtures, and fittings will have a significantly shorter lifespan than typical if water or moisture gets inside of them, which also raises safety and health issues.

With the use of our cameras, we can find any leaks, moisture, or condensation inside your buildings before they become a major problem.

Manually performing these visual inspections with only your unaided eye will not reveal whether or how severe the water damage is.

These inspections can be performed by our staff on both household and commercial structures in Leeds.

Underfloor Heating Thermal Imaging In Leeds

New underfloor heating can be surveyed to make sure it is operating properly after installation and commissioning.

Our thermal imaging cameras allow us to inspect the floor and pinpoint the precise problem areas. Our imaging technology can inspect for underfloor leaks, heat dispersion, and malfunctioning regions.

Existing underfloor heating systems can also benefit from thermal imaging to ensure that the system is functioning properly, to look for leaks, and to visualise and map the location of UFH pipes.

We can determine whether your heating system is operating appropriately and effectively.

Freezer / Cold Stores In Leeds

Costly energy is needed to maintain the proper temperature in a commercial freezer or cold storage facility. The lifespan of the building’s components would be shortened and prices would increase if there was a heat loss area.

We assess your industrial cold store or freezer while it is still running at full capacity for you to get the most out of its overall efficiency, whether it is new or old.

If you do not have your cold store or freezer surveyed and correctly assessed, you run the risk of:

• Increased cooling costs
• Build-up of ice which is hazardous to people and goods
• Moisture inside the façade reduces your lifespan of the materials and insulation

Don’t run the risk of damage forming and the lifespan dramatically reducing, get our team to survey your cold store / freezer!

Air Tightness Testing In Leeds

Throughout the construction phase, our staff is available to provide you with air tightness guidance. Building Regulations Part L currently mandates air tightness testing, sometimes referred to as air leakage or air permeability testing, for all new household and commercial structures.

We will provide guidance throughout the entire design and construction process to ensure that you will save time and money as well as reduce the likelihood of a failed initial air test, avoid remedial work, extend the completion date, and reduce the likelihood that your building will need to be retested.

We can examine your initial design in three different ways which are:

Desktop Design Review: Allow our team to evaluate your construction drawings early on in the project, ideally before any work even commences. We can look at the air tightness strategy and ensure that this has been considered from the very beginning and not once everything has started and it is too late to rectify.

On-Site Design Review: Let our team and your design and project team get together with any relevant subcontractors and discuss your project plans in person. Therefore, changes can be discussed and made there and then.

Site Advice Visit: Another type of face-to-face appointment, however we will examine your site ourselves to inspect the air tightness. This can vary from one inspection to several, depending on the complexity.

If you have a new commercial or domestic building which requires an air tightness Inspection, look no further than Build IR Ltd for a reliable, professional, and fully insured team!
