Borescope cavity inspection for Renfrew properties
Renfrew sits in Renfrewshire and Inverclyde, roughly 3 miles north-east of Paisley. We work across the PA4 district, including nearby Paisley, Newton Mearns and Greenock.
Buyers and sellers in Renfrew often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls. The written result for your Renfrew property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. 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.
On the rules side, if cavity wall insulation follows in Renfrew, 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.
