Borescope cavity inspection for Borehamwood properties
Our Hertfordshire coverage takes in Borehamwood (WD6) and nearby Potters Bar, Watford and St Albans. It is around 7 miles south of St Albans.
Where a Borehamwood wall shows cold patches or damp, the survey targets those areas first rather than sampling at random. The written result for your Borehamwood property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. 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.
In terms of approvals, if cavity wall insulation follows in Borehamwood, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Rules in England
Filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification if insulation work follows.

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.
