Thermal imaging survey for Ryde properties
We cover Ryde and the PO33 postcode district, including nearby Sandown and Cowes. Ryde is one of the main towns we cover in the Isle of Wight.
Where a Ryde wall shows cold patches or damp, the survey targets those areas first rather than sampling at random. The written result for your Ryde property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next.
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.
As for paperwork, if cavity wall insulation follows in Ryde, 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.

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.
