Thermal imaging survey for Cowes properties
Cowes is among the towns we cover in the Isle of Wight, alongside Ryde and Sandown. It is roughly 6 miles west of Ryde.
The written result for your Cowes property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next. Buyers and sellers in Cowes often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. The Isle of Wight 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.
On compliance, if cavity wall insulation follows in Cowes, 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.
