Thermal imaging survey across Renfrewshire and Inverclyde
We cover 4 towns in Renfrewshire and Inverclyde: Paisley, Greenock, Newton Mearns and Renfrew.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. Parts of Renfrewshire and Inverclyde 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 Renfrewshire and Inverclyde often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls. A survey in Renfrewshire and Inverclyde gives you facts before anyone drills: what the wall is, what is in the cavity and whether it is sound.
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).
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.
