Borescope cavity inspection for Forfar properties
If your property is in Forfar or the DD8 district or nearby Dundee and Arbroath, it is within our Tayside coverage. It is roughly 13 miles north of Dundee.
The written result for your Forfar property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next. Where a Forfar wall shows cold patches or damp, the survey targets those areas first rather than sampling at random.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. 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.
For regulations, if cavity wall insulation follows in Forfar, no building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards.
Rules in Scotland
No building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards if insulation work follows.
Sources: Scottish Government: building work not requiring a warrant (schedule 3).
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.
