Borescope cavity inspection for Bury St Edmunds properties
Bury St Edmunds sits in Suffolk, about 23 miles north-west of Ipswich. We work across the IP33 district, including nearby Stowmarket, Sudbury and Haverhill.
Every inspection point in Bury St Edmunds is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor. The written result for your Bury St Edmunds property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. Much of Suffolk 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 Bury St Edmunds, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.

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.
