Thermal imaging survey across Kent
We cover 23 towns in Kent, including Maidstone, Gillingham, Chatham, Tunbridge Wells, Folkestone and more.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. Much of Kent sits in the more sheltered driving-rain zones of the UK, which widens the choice of fill. Exposed elevations, coastal sites and high ground still get checked wall by wall.
A survey in Kent gives you facts before anyone drills: what the wall is, what is in the cavity and whether it is sound. The written result for your Kent property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next.
Building Regulations in England
Filling an existing cavity wall is notifiable building work in England. Either a building notice goes to building control before the work, or the installer self-certifies it through a government-approved competent person scheme such as CIGA's CWISC scheme. The insulation used must also be suitable for the wall it goes into, which is why the survey checks construction, condition and exposure first.

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.
What is included
- Interior and exterior images
- Annotated report
- Borescope checks of suspect areas
- Recommendations, if any
