Thermal imaging survey for St Austell properties
If your property is in St Austell or the PL25 district or nearby Bodmin, Truro and Newquay, it is within our Cornwall coverage. It is about 14 miles north-east of Truro.
Every inspection point in St Austell is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor. A survey in St Austell gives you facts before anyone drills: what the wall is, what is in the cavity and whether it is sound.
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.
For regulations, if cavity wall insulation follows in St Austell, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Rules in England
