Borescope cavity inspection for Sandown properties
Sandown sits in the Isle of Wight, around 6 miles south of Ryde. We work across the PO36 district, including nearby Ryde and Cowes.
A survey in Sandown gives you facts before anyone drills: what the wall is, what is in the cavity and whether it is sound. Buyers and sellers in Sandown often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. The Isle of Wight 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.
On compliance, if cavity wall insulation follows in Sandown, 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.
