Thermal imaging survey across Lanarkshire
We cover 9 towns in Lanarkshire, including East Kilbride, Hamilton, Cumbernauld, Coatbridge, Airdrie and more.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. Parts of Lanarkshire 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.
Buyers and sellers in Lanarkshire often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls. Where a Lanarkshire wall shows cold patches or damp, the survey targets those areas first rather than sampling at random.
Building standards in Scotland
In Scotland, work associated with thermal insulating material within a wall is listed in schedule 3 of the Building (Scotland) Regulations as work that does not need a building warrant. It must still meet the building standards, so the survey still checks that the wall and the chosen material are suitable, including exposure to wind-driven rain.
Sources: Scottish Government: building work not requiring a warrant (schedule 3).
