Borescope cavity inspection for Felixstowe properties
We cover Felixstowe and the IP11 postcode district, including nearby Ipswich and Stowmarket. It is about 11 miles south-east of Ipswich.
Where a Felixstowe wall shows cold patches or damp, the survey targets those areas first rather than sampling at random. Buyers and sellers in Felixstowe often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. 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 compliance, if cavity wall insulation follows in Felixstowe, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Rules in England

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.
