Thermal imaging survey for Chippenham properties
Our Wiltshire coverage takes in Chippenham (SN15) and nearby Trowbridge and Swindon. It is around 16 miles south-west of Swindon.
The written result for your Chippenham property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next. Buyers and sellers in Chippenham often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. Wiltshire 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 compliance, if cavity wall insulation follows in Chippenham, 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.
