Building Performance Diagnostics in Woking
Woking is a Surrey commuter town of inter-war and post-war semis, larger detached homes and new-build apartments near the centre. This mix of stock means varied performance issues, all of which we diagnose by measurement and can remediate.
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 Woking.

- General building-fabric improvements
The buildings of Woking, and how they perform.
Woking's housing is predominantly cavity-walled from the 1930s onward, with larger detached homes and a growing number of airtight, mechanically-ventilated new-build flats. Cavity and loft condition varies, while the new flats raise overheating and ventilation questions.
- 1930s cavity-wall semis & detached houses
- Larger detached commuter homes
- Post-war suburban housing
- New-build apartment developments
- Extended and loft-converted family homes
Thermal Imaging Surveys in Woking
In Woking, thermal imaging checks cavity and loft insulation and new-build thermal bridges.
- 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 Woking
We measure to separate condensation from genuine damp across Woking's mixed 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 Woking
Cavity condition, loft insulation and glazing lead loss in the houses; overheating leads the new flats.
- 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 Woking
Blower door testing quantifies draughts in houses; new flats need ventilation commissioning.
- 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 fabric-first upgrades on houses or re-commission ventilation in flats, then verify.
- 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
