Thermal imaging survey for Kidsgrove properties
If your property is in Kidsgrove or the ST7 district or nearby Newcastle under Lyme, Stoke-on-Trent and Longton, it is within our Staffordshire coverage. It is about 6 miles north of Stoke-on-Trent.
Where a Kidsgrove wall shows cold patches or damp, the survey targets those areas first rather than sampling at random. Buyers and sellers in Kidsgrove often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. Staffordshire 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 compliance, if cavity wall insulation follows in Kidsgrove, 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.
