Care Home Heat Loss and Building Inspections

Protect resident comfort and reduce energy costs with thermal and visual surveys tailored for care homes.

Why Heat Loss Inspections Matter

Heating is one of the biggest costs in care homes. With residents relying on warm, stable environments, many sites overspend on energy without realising it. The UK currently has some of the highest energy prices in the world, making efficiency more important than ever.

Our thermal drone surveys provide a non-invasive way to detect heat loss, insulation gaps, and hidden leaks, helping you cut unnecessary spending while improving resident comfort.

  • Identify insulation failures and thermal bridges.

  • Detect drafts, leaks and damp areas before they escalate.

  • Gain clear evidence to prioritise repairs and upgrades.

Example Savings

Independent studies show that care homes can reduce heating costs by 15–30% after identifying and fixing insulation issues highlighted in thermal surveys.

  • A 60-bed care home spending £120,000/year on energy could save £18,000–£36,000 annually.

  • Smaller facilities can still achieve £5,000–£10,000 in yearly savings, often with simple remedial works.

Benefits for Care Homes

  • Lower Energy Bills — significant savings that can be reinvested into care.

  • Improved Resident Comfort — consistent warmth without drafts or cold spots.

  • Regulatory Compliance — independent reports support CQC, insurance, and audit needs.

  • Future-Proofing — protect buildings against rising costs and energy regulations.

Cut Time, Cut Costs, See More

Our aerial survey method gives you high-quality thermal and visual insights without the disruption or expense of traditional inspections. It's faster, safer and captures far more detail, especially in places no person can safely or easily reach.

We offer both full thermal and visual surveys or visual-only options, depending on what you need. Our team works with homeowners, landlords, housing developers and retrofit professionals to deliver clear, accurate information you can act on.

A full survey typically includes:

  • Aerial thermal and high-resolution visual photography

  • Non-invasive inspections with no need for scaffolding or ladders

  • Side-by-side comparisons of thermal and daylight imagery

  • A detailed digital report with annotated visuals and key findings

  • Recommendations for repairs, upgrades or further investigation

  • Faster turnaround than conventional survey methods

Survey Deliverables

After your survey, you'll receive a professionally prepared digital report designed to give you total clarity.

Your report includes:

  • Clear identification of issues like heat loss, insulation failure or cold bridging

  • Visual evidence of structural concerns, water ingress or moisture buildup

  • High-resolution images with location tagging and annotations

  • Side-by-side thermal and visual comparisons where applicable

  • Recommended next steps for remedial action or further investigation

  • Suitable documentation for insurance, planning or contractor disputes

 

Whether you're making upgrade decisions, responding to tenant concerns or preparing evidence for claims, this report gives you the insight and credibility to act with confidence.
