Borescope cavity inspection for Kidsgrove properties
Kidsgrove sits in Staffordshire, roughly 6 miles north of Stoke-on-Trent. We work across the ST7 district, including nearby Newcastle under Lyme, Stoke-on-Trent and Longton.
A survey in Kidsgrove gives you facts before anyone drills: what the wall is, what is in the cavity and whether it is sound. Every inspection point in Kidsgrove is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. Staffordshire 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.
For regulations, if cavity wall insulation follows in Kidsgrove, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Rules in England

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.
