Thermal imaging survey for Cambridge properties
Our Cambridgeshire coverage takes in Cambridge (CB1) and nearby Newmarket, Ely and Huntingdon. Cambridge is one of the main towns we cover in Cambridgeshire.
Every inspection point in Cambridge is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor. Buyers and sellers in Cambridge often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. Much of Cambridgeshire 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 Cambridge, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Rules in England

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.
