Borescope cavity inspection for Cumbernauld properties
If your property is in Cumbernauld or the G67 district or nearby Airdrie, Coatbridge and Motherwell, it is within our Lanarkshire coverage. It is roughly 12 miles north of Hamilton.
A survey in Cumbernauld gives you facts before anyone drills: what the wall is, what is in the cavity and whether it is sound. Buyers and sellers in Cumbernauld often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. Parts of Lanarkshire face some of the heaviest wind-driven rain in the UK, especially exposed coastal and upland sites. Here the survey is stricter: some walls suit only certain certified systems, and some should not be filled at all.
In terms of approvals, if cavity wall insulation follows in Cumbernauld, no building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards.
Rules in Scotland

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.
