Thermal imaging survey for Witham properties
If your property is in Witham or the CM8 district or nearby Maldon, Braintree and Chelmsford, it is within our Essex coverage. It is around 9 miles north-east of Chelmsford.
Every inspection point in Witham is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor. Buyers and sellers in Witham 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. 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.
As for paperwork, if cavity wall insulation follows in Witham, 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.

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.
