Borescope cavity inspection for Cheshunt properties
Our Hertfordshire coverage takes in Cheshunt (EN8) and nearby Hoddesdon, Potters Bar and Hertford. It is around 14 miles east of St Albans.
Every inspection point in Cheshunt is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor. Buyers and sellers in Cheshunt often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. 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.
As for paperwork, if cavity wall insulation follows in Cheshunt, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
