Borescope cavity inspection across Mid Glamorgan
We cover 7 towns in Mid Glamorgan, including Rhondda, Tonypandy, Bridgend, Merthyr Tydfil, Pontypridd and more.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. Parts of Mid Glamorgan 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.
A survey in Mid Glamorgan gives you facts before anyone drills: what the wall is, what is in the cavity and whether it is sound. Where a Mid Glamorgan wall shows cold patches or damp, the survey targets those areas first rather than sampling at random.
Building Regulations in Wales
In Wales, filling an existing cavity is also notifiable building work under the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales. A registered installer normally self-certifies it through a competent person scheme; otherwise a building notice goes to your council's building control before work starts. Welsh rules can differ from England's, so the notification route is confirmed in writing on your quote.

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.
