Ultrasonic leak detection on a listed facade
How Trace located the source without destructive opening-up and delivered a clear remediation plan.
We investigate building failures with the rigor they demand and the honesty they deserve.
What do you need help with?
You gain access to diagnostic capabilities most surveyors simply don't possess. Our UKAS accreditation and advanced equipment mean findings you can act on immediately, not months of uncertainty.
Four steps from problem to solution. No guesswork. No padding the invoice. Just measurement, diagnosis, and a clear path forward.
Describe the building concern and we'll determine which diagnostic approach fits your situation.
Our team deploys specialized equipment to examine every surface, cavity, and system relevant to your problem.
A comprehensive report details root causes, remediation options, and the science behind our conclusions.
We stay available to guide the fix, so the right work happens the first time.
Scientific investigation requires the right equipment and disciplined process. We combine both to deliver findings you can act on with confidence.

Root causes identified on first investigation
Buildings assessed across the United Kingdom
Building problems follow patterns. Water seeks the path of least resistance. Mould thrives where moisture accumulates. Heat loss concentrates at thermal weak points. These aren’t mysteries. They’re physics.
Most surveyors work from observation alone. They look at what’s visible and make educated guesses about what lies hidden. This approach fails because buildings conceal their failures — the real damage happens where no one can see it.
Trace Surveys operates differently. We bring equipment designed to penetrate surfaces and reveal what’s actually happening inside your building’s systems: thermal imaging, moisture metering, borescope inspection and acoustic analysis, applied with scientific precision.
Stop guessing. Start knowing what's wrong with your property.
