Home Health Diagnostic Survey in North London
A comprehensive whole-home diagnostic assessment combining visual inspection, thermal imaging, moisture, humidity and airflow measurements to identify the root cause of building problems. Specialist building-performance diagnostics across North London — N1-N22 · NW (NW1, NW3, NW5, NW11) · EN (Enfield).
What we typically diagnose across North London.
North London's heavyweight Victorian and Edwardian housing stock — from the bay-windowed terraces of Holloway and Finsbury Park through the substantial detached homes of Highgate and Hampstead Garden Suburb to the inter-war semis of Finchley and Barnet — is well-known for cold floors, single-skin extensions and condensation in north-facing rooms. We use FLIR thermal imaging, blower door testing and moisture diagnostics to identify the actual problem before any insulation or remedial work is specified.
- Victorian solid-wall terraces in Islington, Holloway, Archway and Finsbury Park with high heat loss through original brickwork
- Single-storey rear-extension flat roofs in 1930s semis (Finchley, Barnet) with compressed or absent insulation
- North-facing bedrooms and bathrooms in N1, N5, N7 Victorian terraces with chronic winter mould
- Camden conversion flats with inadequate kitchen extract and bathroom ventilation
- Suspended floor perimeters in Holloway, Finsbury Park and Wood Green Victorian terraces

What's included
- On-site visual inspection of the property and reported issues
- Thermal imaging survey of suspect areas (walls, ceilings, junctions, windows)
- Moisture readings on affected substrates
- Indoor relative humidity and surface temperature analysis
- Smoke tracing of suspected air-leakage paths (where required)
- Optional blower door test for whole-house airtightness
- Written diagnostic report with findings, photographs and recommendations
Who it's for
- Homeowners experiencing damp, mould, cold or high bills
- Landlords and housing associations investigating tenant complaints
- Architects and developers commissioning pre-purchase or pre-retrofit surveys
- Property managers needing evidence-based investigation reports
What we commonly discover during home health diagnostic survey investigations
- 01Cold reveals around windows and external door heads
- 02Air leakage through unsealed loft hatches and service penetrations
- 03Localised thermal bridges at wall/ceiling and wall/floor junctions
- 04Hidden moisture trapped within wall or floor build-ups
- 05Inadequate extract ventilation in bathrooms and kitchens
- 06Indoor humidity above 65% RH driving condensation on cold surfaces
- 07Previous retrofit insulation installed with workmanship gaps
Findings reflect patterns observed across completed RetrofitIQ projects — every survey is interpreted in the building’s specific context.

One company. One process. One point of responsibility.
We don’t simply identify problems. We investigate, diagnose, design solutions, carry out the work and verify the results. Book a Home Health Diagnostic Survey and we’ll tell you exactly which remedial works (if any) are actually needed.
