Borescope cavity inspection for Yate properties
If your property is in Yate or the BS37 district or nearby Mangotsfield, Kingswood and Stroud, it is within our Gloucestershire coverage. It is about 24 miles south of Gloucester.
Where a Yate wall shows cold patches or damp, the survey targets those areas first rather than sampling at random. Every inspection point in Yate is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. 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.
On the rules side, if cavity wall insulation follows in Yate, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Rules in England

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.
