Heats up from the top?

This is how your ordinary radiator heats up as shown by a Thermal imaging camera. Fascinating if you ever wondered how….!

Cavity Wall insulation – don’t do it!

Images from a thermal camera showing damp ingress on the internal leaf of the gable end of a Warehouse in Hampshire. Water has penetrated the outer brickwork and the “cavity” insulation has bridged the gap between the inner and outer leaves. The result – a very damp inner wall. The thermal imaging camera shows where it is damp (coloured blue/purple/black). Not very desirable!

Steel frame failure
This is what we found when we took the cladding off a steel framed building. Not quite the workmanship we were expecting!

Dry rot – the worst example ever?
