Thermal imaging survey for Carrickfergus properties
If your property is in Carrickfergus or the BT38 district or nearby Newtownabbey, Larne and Belfast, it is within our County Antrim coverage. It is about 9 miles north-east of Belfast.
A survey in Carrickfergus gives you facts before anyone drills: what the wall is, what is in the cavity and whether it is sound. Every inspection point in Carrickfergus is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor.
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.
On the rules side, if cavity wall insulation follows in Carrickfergus, inserting cavity wall insulation needs a building control application to the council before work starts.
Rules in Northern Ireland
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.
