Thermal imaging survey for Castle Douglas properties
If your property is in Castle Douglas or the DG7 district or nearby Dumfries, Annan and Stranraer, it is within our Dumfries and Galloway coverage. It is around 17 miles south-west of Dumfries.
Buyers and sellers in Castle Douglas often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls. The written result for your Castle Douglas property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. Parts of Dumfries and Galloway 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.
As for paperwork, if cavity wall insulation follows in Castle Douglas, no building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards.
