Borescope cavity inspection for Newton Mearns properties
Our Renfrewshire and Inverclyde coverage takes in Newton Mearns (G77) and nearby Paisley, Renfrew and Greenock. It is around 6 miles south-east of Paisley.
The written result for your Newton Mearns property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next. A survey in Newton Mearns gives you facts before anyone drills: what the wall is, what is in the cavity and whether it is sound.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. Parts of Renfrewshire and Inverclyde 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 Newton Mearns, no building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards.
Rules in Scotland

How many holes?
Enough to be representative: typically several per elevation, plus targeted checks below windows, at corners and near any damp patches. Each one is photographed and logged.
