Borescope cavity inspection for Maidenhead properties
If your property is in Maidenhead or the SL6 district or nearby Slough, Windsor and Bracknell, it is within our Berkshire coverage. It is roughly 12 miles north-east of Reading.
The written result for your Maidenhead property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next. Every inspection point in Maidenhead is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. 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 Maidenhead, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
