Borescope cavity inspection for Herne Bay properties
Our Kent coverage takes in Herne Bay (CT6) and nearby Whitstable, Canterbury and Faversham. It is roughly 27 miles east of Maidstone.
Where a Herne Bay wall shows cold patches or damp, the survey targets those areas first rather than sampling at random. A survey in Herne Bay gives you facts before anyone drills: what the wall is, what is in the cavity and whether it is sound.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. Much of Kent 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.
On the rules side, if cavity wall insulation follows in Herne Bay, 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.
