Thermographic Inspections/ Surveys In Sheffield

Gain access to numerous benefits by choosing Build IR Ltd to carry out your thermal surveys for your commercial or residential property.

As we survey your building, our thermal imaging camera will take thermographic images which record varying temperatures across your building’s envelope.

Once the survey is complete, our engineers can inform you of your buildings thermal performance to help inform you where remedial work is required, and which areas need to be specifically targeted.

These surveys are not just for issues and faults, we can also carry out quality control surveys to ensure that your insulation has been appropriately installed and no heat is being lost.

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 Sheffield

Many of us are aware of the disastrous consequences which moisture or water leaks can have on our buildings and the façades.
Unfortunately, if water or moisture enters your building materials, fixtures, and fittings they will have a much shorter lifespan than usual as well as creating safety and health concerns.
With our cameras, we can detect any leaks, moisture, or even condensation within your structures before this becomes a serious issue.
Carrying these visual tests out manually with just your naked eye will not provide a true picture of the presence or severity of water damage.
Our team can carry these surveys out on both commercial and domestic buildings in Sheffield.

Underfloor Heating Thermal Imaging In Sheffield

Once new underfloor heating has been installed and commissioned, we can survey the system to check that it is functioning correctly.

By using our thermal imaging cameras, we can assess the floor and identify the exact areas which need addressing. Our imaging equipment can check for heat distribution, underfloor leaks and identify areas that are not working.

Thermal imaging is also useful for existing underfloor heating systems to check the system is working, to check for leaks and to visualise and map the location of UFH pipes.

We can identify if your heating system is not only correctly working but efficiently working also.

Freezer / Cold Stores In Sheffield

The energy required to keep a commercial freezer / cold store running at the appropriate temperature comes with enormous costs. If there was an area of heat loss, this would amplify your costs even greater and reduce the lifespan of the building’s components.

Whether you have a new or old commercial cold store or freezer, we survey them for you whilst they are still in full operations to maximise the total efficiency.

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 Sheffield

Our team can support you with air tightness advice during your construction process. Air tightness testing, also known as air leakage or air permeability testing, is now a requirement for new commercial and domestic buildings to comply with Building Regulations Part L.

We will offer advice throughout the entire design and build process which will make sure that you will save time and money as well as reducing the chances of a failed first-time air test, avoiding remedial work, running over completion date, and limiting the chances of requiring a re-test on your building.

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!
