Thermal imaging survey for Barnsley properties
Barnsley is among the towns we cover in South Yorkshire, alongside Darton, Chapeltown and Rotherham. It is about 12 miles north of Sheffield.
The written result for your Barnsley property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next. Where a Barnsley wall shows cold patches or damp, the survey targets those areas first rather than sampling at random.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. South Yorkshire 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.
For regulations, if cavity wall insulation follows in Barnsley, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
