Borescope cavity inspection for Portadown properties
Our County Armagh coverage takes in Portadown (BT62) and nearby Craigavon, Lurgan and Armagh. It is about 3 miles south-west of Craigavon.
Every inspection point in Portadown is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor. Where a Portadown 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. Parts of County Armagh face some of the heaviest wind-driven rain in the UK, especially exposed coastal and upland sites. Here the survey is stricter: some walls suit only certain certified systems, and some should not be filled at all.
For regulations, if cavity wall insulation follows in Portadown, inserting cavity wall insulation needs a building control application to the council before work starts.

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.
