Borescope cavity inspection for Berkhamsted properties
Berkhamsted sits in Hertfordshire, roughly 10 miles west of St Albans. We work across the HP4 district, including nearby Hemel Hempstead, Rickmansworth and Harpenden.
Where a Berkhamsted wall shows cold patches or damp, the survey targets those areas first rather than sampling at random. A survey in Berkhamsted gives you facts before anyone drills: what the wall is, what is in the cavity and whether it is sound.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. Much of Hertfordshire sits in the more sheltered driving-rain zones of the UK, which widens the choice of fill. Exposed elevations, coastal sites and high ground still get checked wall by wall.
For regulations, if cavity wall insulation follows in Berkhamsted, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.

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.
