Thermal imaging survey for Cwmbran properties
Cwmbran sits in Gwent, about 5 miles north of Newport. We work across the NP44 district, including nearby Pontypool, Risca and Newport.
Buyers and sellers in Cwmbran often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls. Where a Cwmbran wall shows cold patches or damp, the survey targets those areas first rather than sampling at random.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. Parts of Gwent face some of the heaviest wind-driven rain in the UK, especially exposed coastal and upland sites. Here the survey is stricter: some walls suit only certain certified systems, and some should not be filled at all.
As for paperwork, if cavity wall insulation follows in Cwmbran, filling a cavity is notifiable work under the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales, usually self-certified through a competent person scheme.
