Borescope cavity inspection for Rayleigh properties
Rayleigh is among the towns we cover in Essex, alongside South Benfleet, Wickford and Canvey Island. It is about 12 miles south-east of Chelmsford.
Every inspection point in Rayleigh is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor. The written result for your Rayleigh property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. Much of Essex sits in the more sheltered driving-rain zones of the UK, which widens the choice of fill. Exposed elevations, coastal sites and high ground still get checked wall by wall.
On the rules side, if cavity wall insulation follows in Rayleigh, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.

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.
