Borescope cavity inspection for Skelmersdale properties
If your property is in Skelmersdale or the WN8 district or nearby Ormskirk, Chorley and Leyland, it is within our Lancashire coverage. It is around 15 miles south of Preston.
The written result for your Skelmersdale property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next. Every inspection point in Skelmersdale is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. 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 Skelmersdale, 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.
