Borescope cavity inspection for Frome properties
Our Somerset coverage takes in Frome (BA11) and nearby Bath, Nailsea and Yeovil. It is about 37 miles north-east of Taunton.
Every inspection point in Frome is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor. The written result for your Frome 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. Somerset has a mix of moderate and more exposed sites. Hilltop, coastal and west-facing walls take the brunt of wind-driven rain, so the survey records exposure for each elevation before a material is chosen.
On the rules side, if cavity wall insulation follows in Frome, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.

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.
