Borescope cavity inspection for Caernarfon properties
If your property is in Caernarfon or the LL55 district or nearby Bangor, Porthmadog and Holyhead, it is within our Gwynedd coverage. It is about 6 miles south-west of Bangor.
Every inspection point in Caernarfon is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor. A survey in Caernarfon gives you facts before anyone drills: what the wall is, what is in the cavity and whether it is sound.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. Parts of Gwynedd face some of the heaviest wind-driven rain in the UK, especially exposed coastal and upland sites. Here the survey is stricter: some walls suit only certain certified systems, and some should not be filled at all.
On compliance, if cavity wall insulation follows in Caernarfon, filling a cavity is notifiable work under the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales, usually self-certified through a competent person scheme.

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.
