Thermal imaging survey for Coleraine properties
Coleraine is among the towns we cover in County Londonderry, alongside Limavady, Magherafelt and Derry. It is about 27 miles east of Derry.
Buyers and sellers in Coleraine often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls. A survey in Coleraine gives you facts before anyone drills: what the wall is, what is in the cavity and whether it is sound.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. Parts of County Londonderry 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 Coleraine, 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.
