Borescope cavity inspection for Limavady properties
Our County Londonderry coverage takes in Limavady (BT49) and nearby Coleraine, Derry and Magherafelt. It is around 14 miles east of Derry.
The written result for your Limavady property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next. Buyers and sellers in Limavady often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. Parts of County Londonderry 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 Limavady, inserting cavity wall insulation needs a building control application to the council before work starts.
