Thermal imaging survey for Lytham St Annes properties
If your property is in Lytham St Annes or the FY8 district or nearby Blackpool, Thornton-Cleveleys and Preston, it is within our Lancashire coverage. It is roughly 12 miles west of Preston.
The written result for your Lytham St Annes property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next. Buyers and sellers in Lytham St Annes often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. Parts of Lancashire 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 Lytham St Annes, 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.
