Unlock Critical Insights with a Professional Thermal Imaging Survey
At Balmore Group, we deliver advanced thermal imaging surveys and thermographic inspections designed to uncover structural faults and building inefficiencies that traditional inspections often miss. Using UAV drones equipped with infrared cameras, we provide fast, accurate, and safe assessments for residential, commercial, and industrial properties. Whether you need to identify heat loss, trace roof leaks, or uncover water ingress, our state-of-the-art drone survey technology gives cost-effective results.
With the ability to capture high-resolution thermographic data from the air or underwater, our surveys help detect early-stage issues, saving you time, money, and stress.
Our services are available across Scotland, including Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Dundee, and surrounding areas.
What is a Thermal Imaging Survey?
A thermal imaging survey (also known as a thermographic survey) uses infrared cameras to measure surface temperature variations across a building or structure. These subtle changes in heat signatures can reveal hidden issues that are not visible during a standard visual inspection.
Whether you’re experiencing unexplained damp patches, struggling with energy inefficiencies, or require a roof condition survey, thermal imaging offers a non-destructive and highly accurate diagnostic method.
Common Problems We Identify:
- Thermal bridging (unintentional heat transfer)
- Heat loss through windows, walls or roofing
- Roof leaks and water ingress from damaged tiles or flashing
- Missing insulation or poorly installed insulation
- Damp and mould risk areas
- Pipe leaks within walls or under floors
- Structural weaknesses or concealed cracks in materials
Thermal imaging is particularly effective for flat roof surveys, industrial roof inspections, and commercial roof surveys, where non-invasive techniques are essential for accurate diagnostics.

How Thermal Imaging Surveys Are Conducted
Our UAV drones are fitted with calibrated FLIR thermal imaging cameras capable of identifying temperature anomalies with pinpoint precision. Our pilots are fully CAA-approved, ensuring safe flight operations even in difficult environments such as urban rooftops or restricted access zones.
We typically carry out thermal imaging surveys during early morning or late evening, when internal and external temperature contrasts are at their highest, maximising the accuracy of heat loss and leak detection.
Post-flight, our team analyses the data using advanced imaging software and provides you with a comprehensive, easy-to-understand report.
Transparent Pricing – No Hidden Costs

Specialist Thermal Imaging Surveys Services & Use Cases
Our thermographic building surveys are used in a wide range of applications, including:
Roof Leak Detection:
Uncover hidden roof leaks without removing tiles or disrupting tenants. Our thermal drone roof leak surveys detect moisture build-up, cracked slates, faulty flashing, and hidden pooling, even beneath felt or insulation layers.
Heat Loss & Energy Efficiency Surveys:
Struggling with rising energy bills? Our heat loss surveys can identify the exact locations where your building is losing heat, helping you plan targeted insulation improvements. These surveys are often used to meet EPC requirements or for renovation planning.

Thermographic Building Surveys:
We provide thermographic building surveys for pre-purchase inspections, ongoing maintenance planning, or structural diagnostics. Particularly valuable for heritage properties, social housing, and commercial facilities.
Industrial & Commercial Roof Surveys:
Large-scale industrial buildings and warehouses are prone to hidden issues due to their size. Our drone roof surveys reduce downtime, improve safety, and help identify issues without the need for expensive scaffolding.
