Borescope cavity inspection for Sudbury properties
Our Suffolk coverage takes in Sudbury (CO10) and nearby Haverhill, Bury St Edmunds and Stowmarket. It is roughly 18 miles west of Ipswich.
Buyers and sellers in Sudbury often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls. A survey in Sudbury gives you facts before anyone drills: what the wall is, what is in the cavity and whether it is sound.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. 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.
In terms of approvals, if cavity wall insulation follows in Sudbury, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Rules in England

How many holes?
