Borescope cavity inspection across Bedfordshire
We cover 5 towns in Bedfordshire: Luton, Bedford, Dunstable, Leighton Buzzard and Ampthill.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. Much of Bedfordshire sits in the more sheltered driving-rain zones of the UK, which widens the choice of fill. Exposed elevations, coastal sites and high ground still get checked wall by wall.
A survey in Bedfordshire gives you facts before anyone drills: what the wall is, what is in the cavity and whether it is sound. Every inspection point in Bedfordshire is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor.
Building Regulations in England
Filling an existing cavity wall is notifiable building work in England. Either a building notice goes to building control before the work, or the installer self-certifies it through a government-approved competent person scheme such as CIGA's CWISC scheme. The insulation used must also be suitable for the wall it goes into, which is why the survey checks construction, condition and exposure first.

When a borescope check helps
Before filling, to confirm the cavity is empty and clean. Before buying a house, to see if the EPC's claim of 'filled cavity' is true. When damp has appeared and you need to know whether the fill is wet or bridged. Before a top-up, to map which panels are empty.
