Borescope cavity inspection for Dumfries properties
Our Dumfries and Galloway coverage takes in Dumfries (DG1) and nearby Annan and Castle Douglas. Dumfries is one of the main towns we cover in Dumfries and Galloway.
A survey in Dumfries gives you facts before anyone drills: what the wall is, what is in the cavity and whether it is sound. Buyers and sellers in Dumfries 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 Dumfries and Galloway 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 the rules side, if cavity wall insulation follows in Dumfries, no building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards.
Rules in Scotland
No building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards if insulation work follows.

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.
