Professional Surveys 

Accurate surveys are the foundation of every successful energy efficiency project and without a precise understanding of a property’s condition, performance, and upgrade requirements, projects risk delays, cost overruns, and poor outcomes. 

TF Group provide a full range of survey services designed to capture all the data required in a single visit, reducing disruption for residents and ensuring project teams have the information they need to deliver upgrades effectively. 

Why Surveys Are Required 

  • Establishes a clear baseline of the property’s current condition and performance. 
  • Identifies risks such as damp, structural issues, or existing defects before works begin. 
  • Provides accurate measurements and data to inform retrofit assessment, design, and installation. 
  • Reduces the need for repeat visits and helps projects stay on time and within budget. 

Comprehensive Energy & Building Surveys


Accurate data is the foundation of every successful retrofit. Our qualified surveyors carry out detailed assessments to identify opportunities, risks, and compliance gaps before works begin.


  • Full energy audits and condition reports.
  • Thermal imaging and fabric integrity checks.
  • EPC and ventilation validation surveys.
  • Retrofit Assessment (PAS2035) available for domestic
  • and commercial buildings.

Full Property Condition, Performance, and Upgrade Requirements Survey 

This comprehensive survey records the current state of the property, its energy performance, and the potential for improvement. It ensures all upgrade requirements are captured at the outset, creating a solid evidence base for project planning, and retrofit compliance. 

 

Key outcomes: 

  • Complete understanding of the property’s condition and needs. 
  • Identification of opportunities for energy upgrades. 
  • A reliable foundation for project planning and compliance. 

Laser Survey – Virtual Walkthrough 

Using advanced laser scanning technology, we capture a detailed 3D model and visual walkthrough of the property. This provides precise measurements and a virtual tour that stakeholders can review remotely, reducing the need for multiple site visits. 

 

Key outcomes: 

  • Accurate digital record of the property layout. 
  • Virtual tour link with remote access for designers, coordinators, and contractors. 
  • Fewer repeat visits, saving time and costs. 

Thermal Imaging Survey

Thermal imaging highlights areas of heat loss within a property, such as poorly insulated walls, roofs, windows, or doors. This makes it possible to target upgrades where they will have the greatest impact, improving efficiency and comfort. 

 

Key outcomes: 

  • Visual evidence of heat loss and energy wastage. 
  • Targeted recommendations for insulation and airtightness. 
  • Early detection of defects such as damp or cold bridging. 

Individual Measures Surveys 

In addition to whole-property assessments, we also provide surveys focused on specific measures such as insulation, glazing, heating, or renewable systems. These ensure individual upgrades are properly designed, specified, and compliant with industry standards. 

 

Key outcomes: 

  • Detailed data for each specific upgrade measure. 
  • Assurance that installations will meet compliance and performance standards. 
  • Support for phased upgrade programmes or single-measure projects.
