Thermal imaging survey for Urmston properties
Our Greater Manchester coverage takes in Urmston (M41) and nearby Stretford, Sale and Swinton. It is roughly 6 miles south-west of Manchester.
The written result for your Urmston property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next. Where an Urmston wall shows cold patches or damp, the survey targets those areas first rather than sampling at random.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. 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.
In terms of approvals, if cavity wall insulation follows in Urmston, 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.
