My sons bedroom is really cold. There is insulation in the loft all over the house about 120mm and cavity wall insulation all over the house apparently. We dont have the heating on in the morning yet - well only couple times last week as isnt cold enough so I know it's not a radiator issue. Would hiring a thermal imaging camera be worth it? Any other ideas greatly received.

It is a corner bedroom. I might up the insulation in the loft. I will put the heating on but it's odd that all the other rooms are about 21 and this room feels about 16/17 degrees.

ive hired a thermal camera from local hire shop picking up Saturday so I'm hoping this will allow me to see the cold spots and then I can rectify accordingly.

It was more due to the fact that it feels colder in that room even in july when its hot and the rest of the house is boiling. But also in september when we dont use the heating and now october when we do. So it's either a ghost or the room has sod all insulation. Il hopefully find out this week.

Ok used it now. The Outside wall is about 2 degrees cooler than other walls. Still cant find a "cold patch" in the wall as I was hoping there might be as this would be easier to fix if there was some insulation missing.

Im going to top of the insulation in the loft from about 120mm to 300mm this week.

Ive still got the tool and havent returned it yet if anyone has any tips or tricks they can recommend in using it.
