Thermal imaging survey for Solihull properties
Solihull is among the towns we cover in the West Midlands, alongside Birmingham, Smethwick and Sutton Coldfield. It is about 7 miles south-east of Birmingham.
Where a Solihull wall shows cold patches or damp, the survey targets those areas first rather than sampling at random. The written result for your Solihull property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. The West Midlands 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.
For regulations, if cavity wall insulation follows in Solihull, 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.
