Borescope cavity inspection for Stroud properties
If your property is in Stroud or the GL6 district or nearby Gloucester, Cirencester and Cheltenham, it is within our Gloucestershire coverage. It is around 8 miles south of Gloucester.
Where a Stroud wall shows cold patches or damp, the survey targets those areas first rather than sampling at random. Buyers and sellers in Stroud 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.
For regulations, if cavity wall insulation follows in Stroud, 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.
