Thermal imaging survey for Redruth properties
Redruth sits in Cornwall, about 8 miles west of Truro. We work across the TR16 district, including nearby Camborne, Truro and Falmouth.
Where a Redruth wall shows cold patches or damp, the survey targets those areas first rather than sampling at random. The written result for your Redruth property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. 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.
On compliance, if cavity wall insulation follows in Redruth, 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.
