Borescope cavity inspection for Farnborough properties
We cover Farnborough and the GU14 postcode district, including nearby Aldershot, Fleet and Yateley. It is roughly 39 miles north-east of Southampton.
A survey in Farnborough gives you facts before anyone drills: what the wall is, what is in the cavity and whether it is sound. Every inspection point in Farnborough is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. Hampshire 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.
In terms of approvals, if cavity wall insulation follows in Farnborough, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
