Borescope cavity inspection for Fleetwood properties
We cover Fleetwood and the FY7 postcode district, including nearby Thornton-Cleveleys, Blackpool and Morecambe. It is around 17 miles north-west of Preston.
Where a Fleetwood wall shows cold patches or damp, the survey targets those areas first rather than sampling at random. The written result for your Fleetwood 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. Parts of Lancashire 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.
As for paperwork, if cavity wall insulation follows in Fleetwood, 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.
