Borescope cavity inspection for Luton properties
If your property is in Luton or the LU1 district or nearby Dunstable, Leighton Buzzard and Ampthill, it is within our Bedfordshire coverage. It is around 18 miles south of Bedford.
Buyers and sellers in Luton often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls. The written result for your Luton 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.
In terms of approvals, if cavity wall insulation follows in Luton, 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.

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.
