Thermal imaging survey for Dalkeith properties
Dalkeith sits in Lothian, about 18 miles east of Livingston. We work across the EH22 district, including nearby Musselburgh, Livingston and Bathgate.
A survey in Dalkeith 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 Dalkeith property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. Lothian has a mix of moderate and more exposed sites. Hilltop, coastal and west-facing walls take the brunt of wind-driven rain, so the survey records exposure for each elevation before a material is chosen.
On compliance, if cavity wall insulation follows in Dalkeith, 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.
