Thermal imaging survey for Skelmersdale properties
If your property is in Skelmersdale or the WN8 district or nearby Ormskirk, Chorley and Leyland, it is within our Lancashire coverage. It is about 15 miles south of Preston.
Buyers and sellers in Skelmersdale often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls. Where a Skelmersdale wall shows cold patches or damp, the survey targets those areas first rather than sampling at random.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. 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.
On compliance, if cavity wall insulation follows in Skelmersdale, 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.
