What do you need help with?
Trace hold one of the most comprehensive equipment inventories in UK building diagnostics: leak detection, defect investigation, building acoustics, compliance testing, environmental monitoring, structural failure analysis. That breadth means we choose the technique the building needs, not the one we own, and change course as the evidence directs. Trace is also a UKAS-accredited testing laboratory (ISO/IEC 17025), and that discipline carries into everything we do.
Trace covers five core disciplines: leak detection, defect diagnosis, compliance testing, environmental monitoring and acoustic consultancy.

How Trace located the source without destructive opening-up and delivered a clear remediation plan.

How Trace located the source without destructive opening-up and delivered a clear remediation plan.
Buildings fail in patterns. Water follows the path of least resistance. Heat escapes at thermal weak points. Sound travels through gaps nobody drew on the plans. Structures move before they crack. All of it is physics, and physics can be measured.
Most surveys stop at what can be seen, and that is where they fail. Buildings hide their faults. The damage that matters is usually behind a surface, inside a cavity or under a floor.
Trace Surveys works from measurement instead. Whether the question is a leak, a defect, a compliance test, an acoustic assessment, a buried service, structural movement or a full 3D survey, we bring instruments that read what an inspection can only guess at, and we report what the evidence supports.
