Thermal imaging survey for Washington properties
Our Tyne and Wear coverage takes in Washington (NE38) and nearby Houghton-Le-Spring, Hebburn and Sunderland. It is roughly 6 miles south-east of Newcastle upon Tyne.
Where a Washington wall shows cold patches or damp, the survey targets those areas first rather than sampling at random. The written result for your Washington property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. 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.
On the rules side, if cavity wall insulation follows in Washington, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
