Thermal imaging survey across Argyll and Bute
We cover 4 towns in Argyll and Bute: Helensburgh, Oban, Dunoon and Campbeltown.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. Parts of Argyll and Bute face some of the heaviest wind-driven rain in the UK, especially exposed coastal and upland sites. Here the survey is stricter: some walls suit only certain certified systems, and some should not be filled at all.
Buyers and sellers in Argyll and Bute often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls. The written result for your Argyll and Bute property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next.
Building standards in Scotland
In Scotland, work associated with thermal insulating material within a wall is listed in schedule 3 of the Building (Scotland) Regulations as work that does not need a building warrant. It must still meet the building standards, so the survey still checks that the wall and the chosen material are suitable, including exposure to wind-driven rain.
Sources: Scottish Government: building work not requiring a warrant (schedule 3).
Useful for
Checking an old installation, planning a top-up, finding where an extension's insulation stops, and giving landlords evidence before and after works.
