Borescope cavity inspection for Battersea properties
If your property is in Battersea or the SW11 district or nearby Chelsea, Pimlico and Fulham, it is within our Greater London coverage. It is about 2 miles south-west of London.
A survey in Battersea gives you facts before anyone drills: what the wall is, what is in the cavity and whether it is sound. The written result for your Battersea 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 Greater London 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 compliance, if cavity wall insulation follows in Battersea, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Rules in England
Filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification if insulation work follows.

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.
