Thermal imaging survey for Dronfield properties
If your property is in Dronfield or the S18 district or nearby Chesterfield, Staveley and Alfreton, it is within our Derbyshire coverage. It is about 26 miles north of Derby.
A survey in Dronfield gives you facts before anyone drills: what the wall is, what is in the cavity and whether it is sound. The written result for your Dronfield property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. Derbyshire 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.
As for paperwork, if cavity wall insulation follows in Dronfield, 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.
