Borescope cavity inspection for Mangotsfield properties
Mangotsfield sits in Gloucestershire, roughly 29 miles south-west of Gloucester. We work across the BS16 district, including nearby Kingswood, Yate and Stroud.
Every inspection point in Mangotsfield is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor. Buyers and sellers in Mangotsfield often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. Gloucestershire 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.
In terms of approvals, if cavity wall insulation follows in Mangotsfield, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.

When a borescope check helps
Before filling, to confirm the cavity is empty and clean. Before buying a house, to see if the EPC's claim of 'filled cavity' is true. When damp has appeared and you need to know whether the fill is wet or bridged. Before a top-up, to map which panels are empty.
