Thermal imaging survey for Bootle properties
If your property is in Bootle or the L21 district or nearby Wallasey, Liverpool and Maghull, it is within our Merseyside coverage. It is around 4 miles north of Liverpool.
The written result for your Bootle property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next. A survey in Bootle gives you facts before anyone drills: what the wall is, what is in the cavity and whether it is sound.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. Merseyside 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 the rules side, if cavity wall insulation follows in Bootle, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.

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.
