Last reviewed 25 September 2026. This guide provides general information; a survey remains specific to the individual property.

Section 01

Your request gives Thermorite a useful starting point

The form collects the property postcode, the concerns you have noticed and the contact information needed to respond. You can also provide optional details about earlier work or attach relevant photos and reports.

Sending the form starts an enquiry. It does not confirm a free visit, a price or a particular work scope.

Section 02

The postcode and property details are reviewed first

Thermorite checks the request against the advertised survey area and reviews the information you have supplied. This helps the team decide whether the property can move forward to a practical discussion.

Final eligibility depends on the individual postcode, property details, access and scheduling considerations. This is why the website asks for the full postcode rather than offering an automatic booking calendar.

Section 03

A visit is discussed only when it is appropriate

If the request can progress, Thermorite contacts you using the method you selected to discuss suitability, access and a possible next step. A visit is agreed rather than assumed.

Where a survey takes place, its purpose is to consider the individual property and any accessible findings. It does not pre-select extraction, installation or another outcome before the home is understood.

At home

Start with what feels different in the rooms you use.

Temperature differences and comfort concerns can have several causes, which is why this guidance does not replace a property-specific assessment.
