Borescope cavity inspection for Dundee properties
Dundee is among the towns we cover in Tayside, alongside Forfar, Arbroath and Perth. Dundee is one of the main towns we cover in Tayside.
The written result for your Dundee property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next. Buyers and sellers in Dundee often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. Tayside 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.
In terms of approvals, if cavity wall insulation follows in Dundee, no building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards.
