Thermal imaging survey for Farnworth properties
Farnworth is among the towns we cover in Greater Manchester, alongside Walkden, Bolton and Radcliffe. It is about 8 miles north-west of Manchester.
The written result for your Farnworth property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next. Every inspection point in Farnworth is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. Greater Manchester 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.
As for paperwork, if cavity wall insulation follows in Farnworth, 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.
