Thermal Imaging Survey in Greystones
Infrared surveys that show where your home loses heat, where insulation is missing, and where damp is likely. Covering Greystones harbour, South Beach, Charlesland and the surrounding area.
Thermal Imaging Surveys for Greystones homes
Greystones harbour-side homes show heat loss through exposed solid walls and around windows facing the sea, plus cold internal surfaces where condensation builds. Mid-century homes show the patchy cavity pattern, and Charlesland's newer homes mostly show small cold bridges at window reveals and around downlights. The survey helps choose moisture-safe insulation for the exposed homes.
How homes in Greystones lose heat
Harbour-side homes face wind and salt off the Irish Sea, with solid walls that need moisture-safe insulation and draught-proofing. Mid-century homes often have empty cavities. Charlesland and similar estates rate around B3 to C2 and mostly benefit from attic top-ups and airtightness checks.
Typical housing: Coastal cottages and Victorian terraces near the harbour, mid-century estate housing through the centre, and 1990s and 2000s estates such as Charlesland on the outskirts.
How thermal imaging survey works
A thermal imaging camera reads the surface temperature of walls, ceilings, floors and windows. When there is a good temperature difference between inside and outside, heat escaping through a weak spot shows up clearly: a gap in attic insulation, an uninsulated lintel, a cold corner where condensation and mould tend to start, or a draught path around a window frame.
Thermal Imaging Survey in Greystones: questions
Do you carry out thermal imaging survey in Greystones?
Yes. We cover Greystones and the surrounding Co. Wicklow area, including Greystones harbour, South Beach, Charlesland. Coastal cottages and Victorian terraces near the harbour, mid-century estate housing through the centre, and 1990s and 2000s estates such as Charlesland on the outskirts.
Is there a grant for thermal imaging survey in Greystones?
There is no standalone SEAI grant for a thermal imaging survey. It is often the cheapest way to make sure grant-funded insulation goes where it does the most good. Grant amounts are set nationally by SEAI and change from time to time, so check seai.ie before applying. We confirm what your home is likely to qualify for during the survey.
When is the best time for a thermal imaging survey?
Thermal imaging needs a clear temperature difference between inside and outside, so the heating season from October to April gives the clearest results. Early morning or evening surveys avoid sunshine warming the walls.
Can a thermal camera see damp?
Damp areas often show as cooler patches because evaporation cools the surface, and cold surfaces are where condensation forms. The camera points to likely problem areas, which we then check with a moisture meter where needed.
Will it show whether my cavity wall insulation is complete?
Yes, gaps or settled areas in cavity fill usually show as warmer patches on the outside of the wall in winter, because more heat escapes through them. It is a quick way to check older fills.
