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.

How much does a thermal imaging survey cost in Machynlleth?
This work is not an energy-saving material for VAT, so it is standard-rated if VAT applies. Where it is done alongside insulation, the quote shows each part separately.
Building regulations in Wales
Wales has its own Approved Document L. Insulation alone is not normally notified, but conversions need building control. How the rules work across the UK.
Questions about a thermal imaging survey in Machynlleth
Can a landlord in Machynlleth book work for a tenanted house?
Yes. We can arrange access with the tenant directly and send you photos once the work is finished.

Yes, we cover the SY20 postcode district and the districts around Machynlleth.
Do you charge extra to travel to Machynlleth?
Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Machynlleth. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.
Can thermal imaging find gaps in loft insulation?
Yes. Missing or thin insulation shows as colder patches on the ceiling below.
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.
