Building Performance Diagnostics in Greenwich
Greenwich combines a UNESCO World Heritage core of Georgian and Victorian buildings with the airtight new-build apartments of the Peninsula. We diagnose and improve both — heritage-safe retrofit for the period homes, overheating and ventilation work for the new stock.
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 Greenwich.

- General building-fabric improvements
The buildings of Greenwich, and how they perform.
Greenwich's historic streets are solid-wall, often Listed or conservation-protected, with sash windows and lower-ground floors. The Peninsula and riverside developments deliver tight, mechanically-ventilated flats where overheating and ventilation commissioning are the main concerns.
- Georgian & Victorian conservation-area homes
- Listed period buildings near the town centre
- Period houses converted into flats
- Greenwich Peninsula new-build apartments
- Riverside mechanically-ventilated flats
Thermal Imaging Surveys in Greenwich
In Greenwich, thermal imaging maps solid-wall loss in the old town and checks thermal bridges in the Peninsula flats.
- 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 Greenwich
We measure to separate condensation from genuine damp across Greenwich's heritage and new-build stock.
- 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 Greenwich
Solid walls and sash windows lead heat loss in the period homes; glazing and overheating lead the new-builds.
- 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 Greenwich
Period homes need leakage testing; new flats need ventilation commissioning and airflow measurement.
- 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
We can deliver heritage-safe insulation or re-commission new-build ventilation, then verify the result.
- 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
