Anyone in the Newbury/Basingstoke Area got a Thermal Camera I could borrow? or would come and take images of my house? Willing to travel 15-20 miles to pickup and leave a deposit of some sort if needed. 

Surveys are 300+ and cheapest reputable device is 200. Wondering if I can get this a bit cheaper really as I know I need a lot of that cash to rectify the issues found!

Thanks

I hire them quite often for work, think it's about £40 a day (not that I'm paying for it!).

A few cases of beer at the local fire station might work ...

We've got a £10k flir, and I have just bought the £200 camera that fits to a phone, works really well I'd recommend it.
Just be aware that thermography is a science in itself, all is not exactly as it appears, but you should get an idea of where your heat is going.

Bought myself a cat s60 smartphone end of last year, being a spark it's business. Sort of. Even if 95% of the IR images on it are of various drunken mates...

Or your local BREEAM consultant would be able to hire/lend you one - that's where I get them.
