Borescope cavity inspection for Peterborough properties
Peterborough sits in Cambridgeshire, roughly 30 miles north-west of Cambridge. We work across the PE1 district, including nearby March, Huntingdon and Wisbech.
A survey in Peterborough gives you facts before anyone drills: what the wall is, what is in the cavity and whether it is sound. Where a Peterborough wall shows cold patches or damp, the survey targets those areas first rather than sampling at random.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. Much of Cambridgeshire 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 Peterborough, 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.
