Borescope cavity inspection for Wigston Magna properties
We cover Wigston Magna and the LE18 postcode district, including nearby Oadby, Leicester and Hinckley. It is around 4 miles south-east of Leicester.
Where a Wigston Magna wall shows cold patches or damp, the survey targets those areas first rather than sampling at random. A survey in Wigston Magna gives you facts before anyone drills: what the wall is, what is in the cavity and whether it is sound.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. Much of Leicestershire 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.
For regulations, if cavity wall insulation follows in Wigston Magna, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.

When a borescope check helps
Before filling, to confirm the cavity is empty and clean. Before buying a house, to see if the EPC's claim of 'filled cavity' is true. When damp has appeared and you need to know whether the fill is wet or bridged. Before a top-up, to map which panels are empty.
