Borescope cavity inspection for Ellesmere Port Town properties
If your property is in Ellesmere Port Town or the CH65 district or nearby Chester, Runcorn and Widnes, it is within our Cheshire coverage. It is around 6 miles north of Chester.
Buyers and sellers in Ellesmere Port Town often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls. The written result for your Ellesmere Port Town property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. Cheshire has a mix of moderate and more exposed sites. Hilltop, coastal and west-facing walls take the brunt of wind-driven rain, so the survey records exposure for each elevation before a material is chosen.
In terms of approvals, if cavity wall insulation follows in Ellesmere Port Town, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
