Building Performance Diagnostics in Edmonton
Edmonton is a densely populated N9/N18 neighbourhood of Victorian and inter-war terraces, council estates and non-traditional construction, with a large rented sector. Condensation, mould and heat loss dominate, and we tackle them with measurement and, where wanted, the works to fix them.
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 Edmonton.

The buildings of Edmonton, and how they perform.
Edmonton's housing ranges from solid-wall Victorian terraces to inter-war cavity homes and post-war estates, including pockets of non-traditional concrete and steel-framed construction. High occupancy and limited ventilation make condensation and mould the most common complaints across the area.
- Victorian solid-wall terraces
- Inter-war cavity-wall semis & terraces
- Post-war council & ex-council estates
- Non-traditional concrete / steel-framed homes
- Let properties and HMOs
Thermal Imaging Surveys in Edmonton
In Edmonton, thermal imaging is especially useful on non-traditional homes, where wall construction and the right insulation strategy are not obvious from outside.
- 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 Edmonton
We measure surface temperatures and humidity to confirm whether Edmonton homes are suffering condensation or genuine damp.
- 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 Edmonton
Solid, cavity and non-traditional walls, plus lofts and floors, lead heat loss across Edmonton's mixed stock.
- 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 Edmonton
Blower door testing quantifies draughts common in older terraces and helps verify works.
- 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 ventilation upgrades to careful wall, loft and floor insulation, we can specify, install 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
