Thermal imaging survey for Inverness properties
Our Highlands and Islands coverage takes in Inverness (IV1) and nearby Nairn. Inverness is one of the main towns we cover in the Highlands and Islands.
Buyers and sellers in Inverness often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls. Where an Inverness wall shows cold patches or damp, the survey targets those areas first rather than sampling at random.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. Parts of the Highlands and Islands 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 Inverness, no building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards.
Rules in Scotland

Useful for
Checking an old installation, planning a top-up, finding where an extension's insulation stops, and giving landlords evidence before and after works.
