Borescope cavity inspection for Ledbury properties
Ledbury sits in Herefordshire, roughly 12 miles east of Hereford. We work across the HR8 district, including nearby Ross-on-Wye, Hereford and Leominster.
Every inspection point in Ledbury is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor. Where a Ledbury wall shows cold patches or damp, the survey targets those areas first rather than sampling at random.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. 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.
For regulations, if cavity wall insulation follows in Ledbury, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Rules in England

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.
