Borescope cavity inspection for Swansea properties
Swansea sits in West Glamorgan. We work across the SA1 district, including nearby Briton Ferry, Gorseinon and Neath.
The written result for your Swansea property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next. Every inspection point in Swansea is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. Parts of West Glamorgan face some of the heaviest wind-driven rain in the UK, especially exposed coastal and upland sites. Here the survey is stricter: some walls suit only certain certified systems, and some should not be filled at all.
On compliance, if cavity wall insulation follows in Swansea, filling a cavity is notifiable work under the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales, usually self-certified through a competent person scheme.
