Thermal imaging survey for Aberdeen properties
Aberdeen is among the towns we cover in Aberdeen and Grampian, alongside Inverurie and Peterhead. Aberdeen is one of the main towns we cover in Aberdeen and Grampian.
Buyers and sellers in Aberdeen often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls. Where an Aberdeen wall shows cold patches or damp, the survey targets those areas first rather than sampling at random.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. Aberdeen and Grampian 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.
As for paperwork, if cavity wall insulation follows in Aberdeen, 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.
