Thermal imaging survey for Tamworth properties
We cover Tamworth and the B77 postcode district, including nearby Lichfield, Burntwood and Burton upon Trent. It is around 33 miles south-east of Stoke-on-Trent.
Buyers and sellers in Tamworth often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls. Where a Tamworth wall shows cold patches or damp, the survey targets those areas first rather than sampling at random.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. 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 the rules side, if cavity wall insulation follows in Tamworth, 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.
