Borescope cavity inspection for Thamesmead properties
If your property is in Thamesmead or the SE28 district or nearby Barking, Welling and Becontree, it is within our Greater London coverage. It is about 11 miles east of London.
Every inspection point in Thamesmead is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor. Buyers and sellers in Thamesmead often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. 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.
In terms of approvals, if cavity wall insulation follows in Thamesmead, 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.
