Hi Househunter,
I am finihseng a self build and did one of these tests before the slabbing was done and it was a big help but it can be carried out at any stage.

Which company did you go through for this Yorky?Just had it done with thermography - total cost €600. Does show source of drafts and any inconsistency in the insulation.
househunter - did you make any progress on the insulation / heating audit as i am keen to get a similar survey done on our old home and at least help prioritise which things to tackle first.
the SEI website is basic to be honest and really only told me the blatantly obvious pointers but i can not find any links to companies / consultants who would carry out such work
it really does surprise me as surely such a person would be assisting home owners with how to improve insulation and reduce heating bills
having just went on the power of one website it is equally as useful in terms of telling you the basics not what companies can provide this which would be much more likely to get people to improve heat loss in their homes.
even such help as to where to buy the chimney vent blockers as they are not available at main stream DIY stores (and dont want to simply start sticking peice of cardboard up the chimney)
Sorry no progress yet. I have started looking for someone to do this. I done some research on the web and found some interesting stuff. We are laying a new solid wooden floor on top of the old floorboards. I intend to have all gaps sealed between the boards and around any piping. I am then going to have a layer of insulation put down with the flooring on top of that.
If you find anyone to do it please let me know.
