Borescope cavity inspection for Musselburgh properties
Musselburgh is among the towns we cover in Lothian, alongside Dalkeith, Livingston and Bathgate. It is roughly 19 miles east of Livingston.
Every inspection point in Musselburgh is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor. A survey in Musselburgh gives you facts before anyone drills: what the wall is, what is in the cavity and whether it is sound.
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.
In terms of approvals, if cavity wall insulation follows in Musselburgh, 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.
