Borescope cavity inspection for Hereford properties
Our Herefordshire coverage takes in Hereford (HR1) and nearby Ledbury, Ross-on-Wye and Leominster. Hereford is one of the main towns we cover in Herefordshire.
Every inspection point in Hereford is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor. Buyers and sellers in Hereford often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. Herefordshire 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.
As for paperwork, if cavity wall insulation follows in Hereford, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Rules in England

How many holes?
Enough to be representative: typically several per elevation, plus targeted checks below windows, at corners and near any damp patches. Each one is photographed and logged.
