Borescope cavity inspection for Daventry properties
Our Northamptonshire coverage takes in Daventry (NN11) and nearby Northampton, Market Harborough and Wellingborough. It is about 12 miles west of Northampton.
Buyers and sellers in Daventry often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls. The written result for your Daventry 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. Much of Northamptonshire sits in the more sheltered driving-rain zones of the UK, which widens the choice of fill. Exposed elevations, coastal sites and high ground still get checked wall by wall.
As for paperwork, if cavity wall insulation follows in Daventry, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Rules in England
