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.

Building standards in Scotland
In Scotland, insulating an existing loft does not normally need a building warrant, but the building standards still apply. How the rules work across the UK.
Questions about a thermal imaging survey in the Highlands and Islands
Are your prices the same across the Highlands and Islands?
Mainland towns such as Inverness, Dingwall and Nairn are within our normal area. Island and remote addresses are surveyed by arrangement, and travel may be priced separately.
Which council covers my address in the Highlands and Islands?
Councils in the Highlands and Islands include Highland, Orkney Islands, Shetland Islands and Na h-Eileanan Siar. Your council matters for building control questions and some funding schemes.
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.
Can thermal imaging find gaps in loft insulation?
Yes. Missing or thin insulation shows as colder patches on the ceiling below.
