Thermal imaging survey for Rutherglen properties
We cover Rutherglen and the G73 postcode district, including nearby Cambuslang, East Kilbride and Coatbridge. It is roughly 8 miles north-west of Hamilton.
A survey in Rutherglen gives you facts before anyone drills: what the wall is, what is in the cavity and whether it is sound. Buyers and sellers in Rutherglen often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. 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 Rutherglen, 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.
