Borescope cavity inspection for Newry properties
Our County Down coverage takes in Newry (BT34) and nearby Banbridge, Downpatrick and Newtownards. It is about 43 miles south-west of Bangor.
Where a Newry wall shows cold patches or damp, the survey targets those areas first rather than sampling at random. The written result for your Newry property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. Parts of County Down 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.
In terms of approvals, if cavity wall insulation follows in Newry, 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.
