Borescope cavity inspection for Wallasey properties
Our Merseyside coverage takes in Wallasey (CH45) and nearby Birkenhead, Bootle and Liverpool. It is roughly 4 miles west of Liverpool.
Where a Wallasey wall shows cold patches or damp, the survey targets those areas first rather than sampling at random. The written result for your Wallasey property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. Merseyside 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.
For regulations, if cavity wall insulation follows in Wallasey, 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.
