Borescope cavity inspection for Ampthill properties
Ampthill is among the towns we cover in Bedfordshire, alongside Bedford, Dunstable and Leighton Buzzard. It is around 7 miles south of Bedford.
Buyers and sellers in Ampthill often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls. The written result for your Ampthill property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. 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.
As for paperwork, if cavity wall insulation follows in Ampthill, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Rules in England

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.
