Start with what you know

Which sounds more like your home?

You do not need to diagnose the problem before asking for a survey. Choose the starting point that feels closest to your situation, then tell Thermorite what you have noticed.

01

I know I have cavity wall insulation

Perhaps it was installed years ago or before you bought the property. You may have paperwork, or only a rough memory of earlier work. Rooms may still feel cold, temperatures may be uneven, or you may be worried the existing insulation needs checking.

Check my existing insulation
02

I am not sure what is inside my walls

You may have moved in without paperwork, found old drill holes, or simply not know whether cavity insulation has ever been installed. Thermorite can investigate what is visible where access is suitable.

Could your cavity insulation be part of the problem?

Look out for the signs that make homeowners want an answer.

These symptoms do not prove that cavity insulation is the cause. They are sensible reasons to ask for a property-specific survey rather than guess or commit to work too early.

  1. SIGNAL 01

    Cold rooms

    One room or side of the house is noticeably harder to heat than the rest.

  2. SIGNAL 02

    Damp patches

    You have noticed damp patches, particularly on external walls or around openings.

  3. SIGNAL 03

    Black mould

    Mould has appeared where a room or wall remains unusually cold and you want to understand what may be relevant.

  4. SIGNAL 04

    Hot and cold spots

    Different areas of a wall or room feel noticeably different from each other.

  5. SIGNAL 05

    Previous cavity wall work

    You have found old drill holes, paperwork or other signs that insulation may have been installed before.

  6. SIGNAL 06

    No paperwork at all

    You bought the property and do not know what, if anything, is inside the cavity.

See inside the wall where suitable

Don’t guess what’s inside your cavity walls. Find out.

Where suitable, a small borescope camera can inspect accessible areas of the cavity. Thermorite explains what can be seen at those points—not simply that you need work.

Accessible view 01

Missing or patchy insulation

Visible gaps or inconsistent material may be relevant to the discussion.

Accessible view 02

Settled or visibly affected material

The visible condition of existing material can be discussed where it is accessible to inspect.

Accessible view 03

Debris or obstructions

Rubble or other obstructions may be visible at an inspection point and considered in the assessment.

Accessible view 04

Areas that appear satisfactory

The inspection may show material that appears evenly distributed at the points viewed.

Evidence before extraction

Not every cavity needs extracting.

Some existing insulation may appear satisfactory at the points inspected. Some properties may have a localised issue. Some may need a discussion about removing existing material—and sometimes the problem may not be the cavity insulation at all.

Thermorite’s job is to investigate first and recommend work only where the property findings support it. That gives you a clearer basis for deciding what happens next.

One inspection. Four possible answers.

A survey should give you a clear answer—not a predetermined sale.

The result remains specific to accessible findings and the wider property information. It may lead to one of four conversations.

  1. No cavity work may be needed

    The insulation seen at the inspected points may appear satisfactory, so no remedial cavity work may be recommended from those findings.

  2. A localised issue may be addressed

    A visible gap, obstruction or other defined concern may support a proportionate rectification discussion rather than full removal.

  3. Extraction may be considered

    Where the visible condition and wider property information support it, extraction may be discussed as part of an agreed remedial scope.

  4. Remove and replace may be considered

    If removal is justified and the cavity and property appear suitable, an appropriate new insulation option may be considered afterwards.

From concern to clarity

Four simple steps toward a clearer answer.
