Thermal imaging survey for Macclesfield properties
Macclesfield sits in Cheshire, around 32 miles east of Chester. We work across the SK11 district, including nearby Wilmslow, Congleton and Northwich.
The written result for your Macclesfield property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next. Buyers and sellers in Macclesfield often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. Cheshire has a mix of moderate and more exposed sites. Hilltop, coastal and west-facing walls take the brunt of wind-driven rain, so the survey records exposure for each elevation before a material is chosen.
In terms of approvals, if cavity wall insulation follows in Macclesfield, 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.
