Borescope cavity inspection for Merthyr Tydfil properties
Merthyr Tydfil is among the towns we cover in Mid Glamorgan, alongside Aberdare, Rhondda and Tonypandy. It is about 19 miles north-east of Bridgend.
A survey in Merthyr Tydfil gives you facts before anyone drills: what the wall is, what is in the cavity and whether it is sound. Buyers and sellers in Merthyr Tydfil often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. 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.
For regulations, if cavity wall insulation follows in Merthyr Tydfil, filling a cavity is notifiable work under the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales, usually self-certified through a competent person scheme.

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.
