Thermal imaging survey for Hebburn properties
Our Tyne and Wear coverage takes in Hebburn (NE31) and nearby Jarrow, Wallsend and Gateshead. It is roughly 4 miles east of Newcastle upon Tyne.
Buyers and sellers in Hebburn often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls. The written result for your Hebburn property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. Tyne and Wear 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.
In terms of approvals, if cavity wall insulation follows in Hebburn, 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.

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.
