What is a Thermographic Inspection?
Our expert electrical thermographic inspections use advanced thermal imaging to detect hidden faults before they cause downtime, safety risks, or costly repairs. Whether you manage a factory, office, or retail space, regular thermographic inspections keep your systems safe, efficient, and compliant. By detecting faults early, you reduce risks of fire, equipment damage, and business interruptions.

When Should You Get Your Annual Thermographic Survey in the UK?
Regular thermographic inspections are essential to keep electrical systems safe, efficient, and compliant. We recommend an annual thermographic survey for all commercial and industrial facilities, offices, retail spaces, healthcare buildings, and warehouses.
Even if your systems seem fine, heat patterns can reveal problems that aren’t visible to the naked eye. An annual thermographic survey is a cost-effective way to protect your business and staff.
In London, annual thermographic inspections are typically carried out between October and March, when temperature differences provide the clearest imaging for detecting heat loss. For electrical equipment, a yearly survey is the minimum recommended, though the ideal timing can vary depending on your business, equipment, and risk profile. Additional surveys may also be valuable following maintenance work or significant events, such as storms or fires.
Optimal Timing for Thermographic Surveys
Building Heat Loss Surveys
Winter Months (October–March): Colder months create a stronger temperature difference between the interior and exterior, making thermal imaging more accurate for detecting heat loss.
Early Morning: Conducting surveys before sunrise helps avoid the effects of solar heat and ensures the building’s internal temperature is stable.
Electrical Equipment Surveys
Annual Checks: For electrical systems and high-use equipment, carrying out a survey at least once a year is recommended.
Risk-Based Scheduling: The best frequency depends on the type of equipment, how it’s used, and a careful risk assessment by the property owner or manager.
Other Factors to Consider
After Maintenance or Events: Surveys are particularly useful before or after external maintenance, or following significant incidents such as storms or fires.
Insurance Considerations: While not legally mandatory, some insurance policies require regular thermal inspections.
Professional Guidance: Thermal imaging specialists can advise on the ideal timing, taking into account seasonal conditions and your specific operational needs.
