Thermal imaging survey for Falkirk properties
Falkirk is among the towns we cover in the Forth Valley, alongside Grangemouth, Alloa and Stirling. Falkirk is one of the main towns we cover in the Forth Valley.
A survey in Falkirk gives you facts before anyone drills: what the wall is, what is in the cavity and whether it is sound. Every inspection point in Falkirk is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. The Forth Valley has a mix of moderate and more exposed sites. Hilltop, coastal and west-facing walls take the brunt of wind-driven rain, so the survey records exposure for each elevation before a material is chosen.
In terms of approvals, if cavity wall insulation follows in Falkirk, 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.
