Borescope cavity inspection for Hove properties
Our East Sussex coverage takes in Hove (BN3) and nearby Brighton, Rottingdean and Seaford. It is about 1 mile west of Brighton.
A survey in Hove gives you facts before anyone drills: what the wall is, what is in the cavity and whether it is sound. Every inspection point in Hove is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. East Sussex has a mix of moderate and more exposed sites. Hilltop, coastal and west-facing walls take the brunt of wind-driven rain, so the survey records exposure for each elevation before a material is chosen.
As for paperwork, if cavity wall insulation follows in Hove, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Rules in England
Filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification 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.
