Thermal imaging survey for Colchester properties
If your property is in Colchester or the CO1 district or nearby Clacton-on-Sea, Witham and Maldon, it is within our Essex coverage. It is about 21 miles north-east of Chelmsford.
Every inspection point in Colchester is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor. A survey in Colchester gives you facts before anyone drills: what the wall is, what is in the cavity and whether it is sound.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. Much of Essex sits in the more sheltered driving-rain zones of the UK, which widens the choice of fill. Exposed elevations, coastal sites and high ground still get checked wall by wall.
On compliance, if cavity wall insulation follows in Colchester, 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.
