Borescope cavity inspection for Arnold properties
If your property is in Arnold or the NG5 district or nearby Nottingham, Hucknall and West Bridgford, it is within our Nottinghamshire coverage. It is around 3 miles north of Nottingham.
Buyers and sellers in Arnold often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls. The written result for your Arnold property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. 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.
On the rules side, if cavity wall insulation follows in Arnold, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
