Thermal imaging survey for Ballymena properties
If your property is in Ballymena or the BT42 district or nearby Antrim, Larne and Newtownabbey, it is within our County Antrim coverage. It is about 23 miles north-west of Belfast.
The written result for your Ballymena property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next. A survey in Ballymena gives you facts before anyone drills: what the wall is, what is in the cavity and whether it is sound.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. Parts of County Antrim 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.
For regulations, if cavity wall insulation follows in Ballymena, inserting cavity wall insulation needs a building control application to the council before work starts.

Inserting cavity wall insulation needs a building control application to the council before work starts if insulation work follows.

What thermal images can and cannot show
They show patterns, not proof. A cooler stripe inside might be missing fill, a cold bridge at a lintel or simply a radiator switched off. That is why we pair the images with borescope checks before recommending any work.
