Thermal imaging survey for East Kilbride properties
We cover East Kilbride and the G74 postcode district, including nearby Cambuslang, Rutherglen and Hamilton. It is around 6 miles west of Hamilton.
A survey in East Kilbride gives you facts before anyone drills: what the wall is, what is in the cavity and whether it is sound. The written result for your East Kilbride property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. 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.
On compliance, if cavity wall insulation follows in East Kilbride, 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.
