Borescope cavity inspection for Irvine properties
If your property is in Irvine or the KA12 district or nearby Kilmarnock and Ayr, it is within our Ayrshire coverage. It is about 6 miles west of Kilmarnock.
Every inspection point in Irvine is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor. Where an Irvine 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. Parts of Ayrshire face some of the heaviest wind-driven rain in the UK, especially exposed coastal and upland sites. Here the survey is stricter: some walls suit only certain certified systems, and some should not be filled at all.
For regulations, if cavity wall insulation follows in Irvine, no building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards.
Rules in Scotland
No building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards if insulation work follows.

How many holes?
Enough to be representative: typically several per elevation, plus targeted checks below windows, at corners and near any damp patches. Each one is photographed and logged.
