Borescope cavity inspection for Livingston properties
Livingston is among the towns we cover in Lothian, alongside Bathgate, Dalkeith and Musselburgh. Livingston is one of the main towns we cover in Lothian.
The written result for your Livingston property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next. Where a Livingston wall shows cold patches or damp, the survey targets those areas first rather than sampling at random.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. Lothian has a mix of moderate and more exposed sites. Hilltop, coastal and west-facing walls take the brunt of wind-driven rain, so the survey records exposure for each elevation before a material is chosen.
As for paperwork, if cavity wall insulation follows in Livingston, no building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards.
Rules in Scotland
No building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards 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.
