Thermal Imaging Defect Analysis allows you to Act on Independent Advice – Not on What a Contractor Wants to Sell You
Whether making repairs or refurbishments your decision should be based on facts –
Visual Perspectives uses the latest infra-red technology to accurately measure areas of moisture, leaks and energy loss without mess, disruption or scaffolding.
The thermal images provide hard data – free from the assumption or bias that you risk with a traditional building survey.

Commercial Building Envelope Assessments

Surveying commercial properties quickly and cost effectively can be a challenge. Most are in continual operation meaning access to certain areas can be problematic. A Thermographic Survey can be the perfect solution to determine any regions of weakness in the waterproofing and insulation of a commercial property. Thermal surveying is a form of non-destructive testing (NDT) and can therefore be carried out without any risk to health and safety, staff, or equipment.

This is an economic targeted approach to locate defected areas quickly, visually and can be used as a guide to save time and money when a more intrusive inspection is instructed.

We specialise in:

• Full Envelope Heatloss/Energy Loss Assessment
• Building Condition
• Damp and Water Ingress

Surveying dangerous unsafe roofs or areas of asbestos can be problematic. Cherry pickers can be used but when a detailed survey is required sometimes they can’t do the job.

Visual Perspectives offer the best quality full radiometric thermographic surveys and analysis, whether for roofs, elevations or the whole building envelope internally and externally to allow you to ‘see’ and quantify the building’s defects.

Building Defects: Flat roof leak detection, poor detailing, missing or damaged insulation, delaminating render, moisture tracking, all easily identifiable.

We have full Civil Aviation Authority permissions to operate drones for commercial aerial work – are fully insured – and are experts in gathering aerial images using remote controlled multi-rotor aerial systems, also known as UAV, Drones. We process and edit in-house using the latest commercially licensed post-production applications.

We provide national coverage offering a responsive and personalised service.

We are market leaders in Aerial thermography. We offer an entirely new and unique perspective.  We can get closer, are more manoeuvrable and go where traditional aircraft can’t.

We provide the quickest and most effective method for identifying performance issues in buildings. From air leakage and poor cavity insulation to cold rooms, missing insulation, and damp – our team of ITC Level 2 Thermographers give you actionable insight into how your buildings are really performing. This approach assists you in targeting the properties with actual identifiable defects as opposed to spreadsheet data so streamlining your maintenance budget where its needed most…Quick, Reactive and Affordable.

Our team can complete large stock surveys in a short amount of time and with minimum disruption to the residents. We take your stock list and prioritise the properties into the most efficient survey route.

Once completed, our in-house Level 2 analyst will deliver valuable insight for retrofitting and energy savings. Tailored for non-building professionals, our detailed reports will identify:

·       Air leakage

·       Poor fixtures and fittings

·       Inconsistent or damaged/wet insulation

·       Damp and mould

·       External Wall Insulation water ingress.

Electrical inspections can often be slow and only carried out during downtime or when a failure occurs. Many insurance companies now insist on an annual thermal inspection for compliance. Visual Perspectives can provide a cost-effective solution whereby we provide a suitable report and information to allow electricians and engineers to carry out repairs.

Companies who practice infrared predictive maintenance regularly check the temperature of critical equipment, allowing them to track operating conditions over time and quickly identify unusual readings for further inspection.

By monitoring equipment performance and scheduling maintenance when needed, we can reduce the likelihood of unplanned downtime due to equipment failure, spend less on “reactive” maintenance fees and equipment repair costs, extend the lifespan of machine assets, and further maximise maintenance and production.

Heat is often an early symptom of equipment damage or malfunction, making it a key performance parameter monitored in predictive maintenance programmes.

Infrared thermography cameras are the first line of defence in a predictive maintenance program.

Visual Perspectives can quickly measure and compare heat signatures for each piece of equipment on the inspection route, without disrupting operations.

Need to safely and quickly check the condition of a roof? We can help.

Surveying a roof conventionally using platforms or cherry pickers can be costly and a breach of the working at height regulations. The modern method of roof inspection utilises drones, which can provide exceptional data that you need from ground level.

Visual Perspectives work alongside building surveyors to undertake detailed surveys and provide high quality photos, videos, and reports. Our drone operators are certified to CAA regulations and carry £5 million insurance to put your mind at rest.

With over 1,500 surveying assignments under our belt, including thermal imaging, topographical surveys, 3D scans and models, and more, you can trust our team to pay attention to every detail of your project.
