Thermal imaging survey for Houghton-Le-Spring properties
If your property is in Houghton-Le-Spring or the DH4 district or nearby Washington, Sunderland and Hebburn, it is within our Tyne and Wear coverage. It is roughly 11 miles south-east of Newcastle upon Tyne.
Every inspection point in Houghton-Le-Spring is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor. Where a Houghton-Le-Spring 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. 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 Houghton-Le-Spring, 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.
