Thermal imaging survey for Dumbarton properties
Dumbarton sits in Dunbartonshire, roughly 7 miles north-west of Clydebank. We work across the G82 district, including nearby Clydebank, Bearsden and Bishopbriggs.
Where a Dumbarton wall shows cold patches or damp, the survey targets those areas first rather than sampling at random. The written result for your Dumbarton 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 Dunbartonshire 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 Dumbarton, no building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards.
Rules in Scotland
No building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards 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.
