Building Performance Diagnostics in Reigate

Reigate is an affluent Surrey town of period homes, large detached houses and conservation properties beneath the North Downs. With substantial heat-loss budgets and heritage considerations, owners here want careful, building-physics-led retrofit advice.

One company, the whole process

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 Reigate.

Local building stock · Reigate

The buildings of Reigate, and how they perform.

Reigate combines solid-wall period and tile-hung homes with larger early-cavity detached houses. Conservation status and the scale of these properties mean a sequenced, condensation-safe approach to insulation, glazing and airtightness is essential.

Typical properties in Reigate
  • Period and tile-hung homes
  • Large detached houses
  • Conservation-area properties
  • Early-cavity inter-war detached homes
  • Extended and converted family homes

Thermal Imaging Surveys in Reigate

In Reigate, thermal imaging surveys large period and detached homes to prioritise insulation and airtightness work.

  • 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 Reigate

We give Reigate homes an accurate condensation-versus-damp diagnosis from 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 Reigate

Solid walls, glazing and large roofs lead the substantial heat-loss budgets typical of Reigate.

  • 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 Reigate

Blower door testing locates the draughts in large homes that extra heating never overcomes.

  • 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 plan and deliver sequenced, condensation-safe retrofit and verify the comfort gain.

  • 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
What we see locally

Common building performance problems in Reigate.

High heating demand across large period and detached homes
Cold solid and tile-hung walls prone to condensation
Condensation on original windows and cold reveals
Heritage constraints limiting external insulation
Thermal bridging at extensions, bays and loft conversions
Damp at solid-wall ground level misread as rising damp
Cold, draughty large rooms despite ample heating
