Thermal imaging survey for Nairn properties
If your property is in Nairn or the IV12 district or nearby Inverness, it is within our Highlands and Islands coverage. It is about 15 miles north-east of Inverness.
Where a Nairn wall shows cold patches or damp, the survey targets those areas first rather than sampling at random. Every inspection point in Nairn is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. 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 compliance, if cavity wall insulation follows in Nairn, 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.
Sources: Scottish Government: building work not requiring a warrant (schedule 3).
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.
