Borescope cavity inspection for Crowthorne properties
Crowthorne sits in Berkshire, roughly 10 miles south-east of Reading. We work across the RG45 district, including nearby Sandhurst, Wokingham and Bracknell.
The written result for your Crowthorne property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next. Where a Crowthorne wall shows cold patches or damp, the survey targets those areas first rather than sampling at random.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. Much of Berkshire 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 Crowthorne, 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.

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.
