Borescope cavity inspection across Nottinghamshire
We cover 10 towns in Nottinghamshire, including Nottingham, Mansfield, Worksop, Newark on Trent, Arnold and more.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. Much of Nottinghamshire 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.
Every inspection point in Nottinghamshire is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor. Buyers and sellers in Nottinghamshire often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls.
Building Regulations in England
Filling an existing cavity wall is notifiable building work in England. Either a building notice goes to building control before the work, or the installer self-certifies it through a government-approved competent person scheme such as CIGA's CWISC scheme. The insulation used must also be suitable for the wall it goes into, which is why the survey checks construction, condition and exposure first.

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.
