Borescope cavity inspection across Fife
We cover 3 towns in Fife: Dunfermline, Kirkcaldy and Glenrothes.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. Fife 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.
The written result for your Fife property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next. Every inspection point in Fife is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor.
Building standards in Scotland
In Scotland, work associated with thermal insulating material within a wall is listed in schedule 3 of the Building (Scotland) Regulations as work that does not need a building warrant. It must still meet the building standards, so the survey still checks that the wall and the chosen material are suitable, including exposure to wind-driven rain.
Sources: Scottish Government: building work not requiring a warrant (schedule 3).
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.
