Borescope cavity inspection for Newtownards properties
If your property is in Newtownards or the BT23 district or nearby Bangor and Downpatrick, it is within our County Down coverage. It is roughly 5 miles south of Bangor.
Every inspection point in Newtownards is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor. The written result for your Newtownards property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. 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.
On compliance, if cavity wall insulation follows in Newtownards, inserting cavity wall insulation needs a building control application to the council before work starts.
