Building Performance Diagnostics in Tottenham
Tottenham is a regenerating North London neighbourhood of Victorian terraces, large council estates and a substantial rented sector. Heat loss, condensation and mould — often tied to affordability and ventilation — are the defining issues, and we provide measured diagnosis and remediation.
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 Tottenham.

The buildings of Tottenham, and how they perform.
Tottenham's terraces are solid-wall with suspended floors, while its estates bring concrete-framed and panel construction with linear thermal bridges. A high proportion of homes are let, where high occupancy and closed-up ventilation drive humidity and mould harder than the fabric alone.

- Concrete-framed and panel council estates
- Period houses converted into flats
- Landlord-let flats and HMOs
- Regeneration-area new-build apartments
Thermal Imaging Surveys in Tottenham
In Tottenham, thermal imaging distinguishes genuinely cold, under-insulated surfaces from rooms that simply need better ventilation.
- 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 Tottenham
Our measured condensation and mould investigations give Tottenham landlords and owners a diagnosis that stands up and informs a real fix.
- 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 Tottenham
Solid walls, floors and lofts lead heat loss in the terraces; floor-slab thermal bridges lead it in the estates.
- 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 Tottenham
Blower door testing quantifies the draughts that make N17 homes cold and costly to heat.
- 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 install proper ventilation, insulate cold surfaces and verify that humidity falls and mould does not return.
- 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
