Thermal imaging survey for Musselburgh properties
Musselburgh is among the towns we cover in Lothian, alongside Dalkeith, Livingston and Bathgate. It is about 19 miles east of Livingston.
The written result for your Musselburgh property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next. A survey in Musselburgh gives you facts before anyone drills: what the wall is, what is in the cavity and whether it is sound.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. 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.
For regulations, if cavity wall insulation follows in Musselburgh, no building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards.
Rules in Scotland

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.
