Borescope cavity inspection for Totton properties
We cover Totton and the SO40 postcode district, including nearby Southampton, Hythe and Eastleigh. It is around 4 miles west of Southampton.
The written result for your Totton property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next. Buyers and sellers in Totton often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. 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.
For regulations, if cavity wall insulation follows in Totton, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
