Thermal imaging survey for Chesham properties
If your property is in Chesham or the HP5 district or nearby Amersham, Chalfont Saint Peter and High Wycombe, it is within our Buckinghamshire coverage. It is around 24 miles south of Milton Keynes.
Buyers and sellers in Chesham often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls. Where a Chesham wall shows cold patches or damp, the survey targets those areas first rather than sampling at random.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. Much of Buckinghamshire sits in the more sheltered driving-rain zones of the UK, which widens the choice of fill. Exposed elevations, coastal sites and high ground still get checked wall by wall.
On compliance, if cavity wall insulation follows in Chesham, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Rules in England
Filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification if insulation work follows.

What thermal images can and cannot show
They show patterns, not proof. A cooler stripe inside might be missing fill, a cold bridge at a lintel or simply a radiator switched off. That is why we pair the images with borescope checks before recommending any work.
