Building Performance Diagnostics in Camden
Camden combines Georgian and Victorian terraces, dense period conversions and the converted warehouses around the canal at Camden Lock and Kentish Town. Heritage fabric, basements and large industrial volumes each demand a measured, building-physics-led approach.
Investigation only, remedial works, or a complete retrofit — your choice.
RetrofitIQ is not only a diagnostics company. We take projects from first investigation through to verified improvement — and you decide how far we go. Engage us for an investigation on its own, for an investigation plus targeted remedial works, or for a complete building-performance and retrofit project in Camden.

The buildings of Camden, and how they perform.
The bulk of Camden's housing is solid-wall and pre-cavity, much of it subdivided into flats with lower-ground floors that suffer damp and condensation. Warehouse and industrial conversions add heavyweight masonry, large single-glazed openings and hard-to-heat open-plan volumes with their own ventilation challenges.
- Georgian & Victorian solid-wall terraces
- Period houses converted into flats
- Lower-ground-floor flats
- Canal-side warehouse & industrial conversions
- Mansion blocks and conservation-area homes
Thermal Imaging Surveys in Camden
In Camden, thermal imaging maps solid-wall heat loss and checks the cold junctions typical of warehouse conversions.
- Mapping heat loss through walls, roofs and floors
- Locating missing, slumped or incomplete insulation
- Identifying thermal bridging and cold spots
- Highlighting surfaces at risk of condensation
- Revealing hidden defects behind finishes
Damp, Condensation & Mould Investigations in Camden
We separate condensation from genuine ground and penetrating damp in Camden's basements and conversions using measured readings.
- Separating condensation from penetrating and rising damp
- Finding mould behind wardrobes, furniture and in cold corners
- Measuring relative humidity, surface temperature and dew point
- Assessing ventilation provision and moisture sources
- Combining thermal imaging with a building-physics review
Heat Loss & Energy Efficiency Surveys in Camden
Solid walls, single glazing and large conversion volumes drive Camden's heat-loss picture.
- Pinpointing where heat escapes — walls, floors, roofs, windows and doors
- Setting fabric-first retrofit priorities in the right order
- Quantifying the impact of each potential improvement
- Assessing heat pump readiness where relevant
- Producing a clear, costed improvement plan
Blower Door Testing & Airtightness in Camden
Blower door testing helps Camden's period conversions and warehouses where leakage paths are extensive and hidden.
- Measuring air leakage and uncontrolled heat loss (ACH₅₀)
- Locating draughts with smoke tracing
- Identifying leakage paths through floors, lofts and services
- Guiding targeted airtightness improvements
- Verifying performance before and after retrofit works
Retrofit & Building Physics Advice
From draught-proofing sash windows to modelled internal insulation and ventilation upgrades, we can deliver and verify the works.
- A fabric-first, Passive House-informed approach
- Retrofit advice aligned with PAS 2035 principles
- Internal and external wall insulation risk assessment
- Thermal-bridge reduction and condensation-risk modelling
- A coherent ventilation strategy to protect health and fabric
