Building Performance Diagnostics in Hammersmith
Hammersmith pairs dense Victorian terraces and mansion blocks with riverside apartments around the Thames. Solid-wall period homes and converted flats define the area, and we diagnose their heat-loss and damp issues by measurement before recommending works.
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 Hammersmith.

The buildings of Hammersmith, and how they perform.
Much of Hammersmith is solid-wall Victorian terracing, heavily converted into flats, alongside red-brick mansion blocks and newer riverside developments. Lower-ground-floor flats are prone to damp, while conversions often suffer condensation where ventilation is poor.

Thermal Imaging Surveys in Hammersmith
In Hammersmith, thermal imaging maps solid-wall heat loss and checks cold junctions in conversions and mansion blocks.
- 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 Hammersmith
We confirm whether Hammersmith damp is condensation or genuine ground/penetrating damp using measured data.
- 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 Hammersmith
Solid walls, sash windows, floors and lofts lead heat loss across W6's period 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 Hammersmith
Blower door testing helps Hammersmith's converted houses where inter-floor leakage is common.
- 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
