How the survey worked
The survey involves a walk around and taking pictures with infra-red cameras, purchased with a grant from NICRE. The infra-red cameras pick out issues not necessarily obvious with a visual inspection, such as:
- Disturbed insulation behind walls or ceilings
- Poor joints between extensions and the main building
- Heat loss through solid walls (single thickness stone walls are common in the Parish)
- Dampness where the damp proof course is damaged or non-existent
