Borescope cavity inspection for Woking properties
If your property is in Woking or the GU22 district or nearby Guildford, Egham and Walton-on-Thames, it is within our Surrey coverage. It is about 6 miles north of Guildford.
A survey in Woking gives you facts before anyone drills: what the wall is, what is in the cavity and whether it is sound. The written result for your Woking property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. Much of Surrey 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 Woking, 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.
