Thermal imaging survey for Torquay properties
Torquay sits in Devon, about 18 miles south of Exeter. We work across the TQ1 district, including nearby Paignton, Newton Abbot and Exmouth.
A survey in Torquay gives you facts before anyone drills: what the wall is, what is in the cavity and whether it is sound. Buyers and sellers in Torquay often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. Parts of Devon 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 the rules side, if cavity wall insulation follows in Torquay, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
