What the survey helps you understand

Dr Radiator or an approved trade partner carries out the visit. Ask us to confirm who will attend, the agreed scope and expected duration. A visit can take 3–6 hours depending on the work required.

A closer look at the heating system

The review can cover system and radiator performance, controls, thermostat and thermostatic radiator valves, and flow and return temperatures.

Checks depend on the system, agreed scope and access.

Findings explained in a report

The person carrying out your survey shows and explains the report on a tablet during the visit. You can consider any next step in your own time.

Tell us the property location and access arrangements when enquiring.

A heating survey has a defined scope. It does not replace separate gas, electrical, structural or other specialist safety inspections.
