What is a thermal imaging survey?
Thermal images work best when the house is heated and the outdoor temperature is low, ideally at least 10°C lower than indoors, so surveys are booked for cold mornings or evenings. We image the top-floor ceilings, the room-in-roof if you have one and the loft, and explain what each cold patch is likely to be. More about a thermal imaging survey.

Questions about a thermal imaging survey in Musselburgh

Do you charge extra to travel to Musselburgh?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Musselburgh. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
Is a thermal imaging survey worth it?
It is most useful where a problem is hard to find or you want to check someone else's work. For a simple loft you can see into, a standard survey is usually enough.
When is the best time for a thermal imaging survey?
On a cold, still, dry day with the heating on for several hours. Bright sun or rain on the roof makes outside images unreliable.
