Thermal imaging survey across East Sussex
We cover 9 towns in East Sussex, including Brighton, Eastbourne, Hastings, Hove, Bexhill-on-Sea and more.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. East Sussex 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.
Buyers and sellers in East Sussex often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls. Where an East Sussex wall shows cold patches or damp, the survey targets those areas first rather than sampling at random.
Building Regulations in England
Filling an existing cavity wall is notifiable building work in England. Either a building notice goes to building control before the work, or the installer self-certifies it through a government-approved competent person scheme such as CIGA's CWISC scheme. The insulation used must also be suitable for the wall it goes into, which is why the survey checks construction, condition and exposure first.

What thermal images can and cannot show
They show patterns, not proof. A cooler stripe inside might be missing fill, a cold bridge at a lintel or simply a radiator switched off. That is why we pair the images with borescope checks before recommending any work.
What is included
- Interior and exterior images
- Annotated report
- Borescope checks of suspect areas
- Recommendations, if any
