Thermal imaging survey for London properties
If your property is in London or the EC1A district or nearby Pimlico, Islington and Camden Town, it is within our Greater London coverage. London is one of the main towns we cover in Greater London.
A survey in London gives you facts before anyone drills: what the wall is, what is in the cavity and whether it is sound. Buyers and sellers in London often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. Much of Greater London 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 London, 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.
