Thermal imaging survey for Greenock properties
Greenock sits in Renfrewshire and Inverclyde, about 15 miles north-west of Paisley. We work across the PA15 district, including nearby Paisley, Renfrew and Newton Mearns.
Every inspection point in Greenock is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor. Buyers and sellers in Greenock often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. 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.
As for paperwork, if cavity wall insulation follows in Greenock, 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.
