Thermal imaging survey for Newquay properties
Our Cornwall coverage takes in Newquay (TR7) and nearby Truro, St Austell and Redruth. It is about 11 miles north of Truro.
Where a Newquay wall shows cold patches or damp, the survey targets those areas first rather than sampling at random. Every inspection point in Newquay is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. Parts of Cornwall face some of the heaviest wind-driven rain in the UK, especially exposed coastal and upland sites. Here the survey is stricter: some walls suit only certain certified systems, and some should not be filled at all.
In terms of approvals, if cavity wall insulation follows in Newquay, 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.
