Thermal imaging survey for Pontypool properties
If your property is in Pontypool or the NP4 district or nearby Cwmbran, Risca and Newport, it is within our Gwent coverage. It is about 8 miles north of Newport.
Every inspection point in Pontypool is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor. A survey in Pontypool gives you facts before anyone drills: what the wall is, what is in the cavity and whether it is sound.
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.
On compliance, if cavity wall insulation follows in Pontypool, filling a cavity is notifiable work under the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales, usually self-certified through a competent person scheme.

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.
