Thermal imaging survey for Forfar properties
We cover Forfar and the DD8 postcode district, including nearby Dundee and Arbroath. It is roughly 13 miles north of Dundee.
Where a Forfar wall shows cold patches or damp, the survey targets those areas first rather than sampling at random. The written result for your Forfar property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. Tayside 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.
In terms of approvals, if cavity wall insulation follows in Forfar, 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.
