Building Defect Thermography

thermography and drone inspection services

Service Overview

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.

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.
