Borescope cavity inspection for Castleford properties
We cover Castleford and the WF10 postcode district, including nearby Pontefract, Lofthouse and Wakefield. It is roughly 9 miles south-east of Leeds.
Where a Castleford wall shows cold patches or damp, the survey targets those areas first rather than sampling at random. A survey in Castleford gives you facts before anyone drills: what the wall is, what is in the cavity and whether it is sound.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. West Yorkshire 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.
On compliance, if cavity wall insulation follows in Castleford, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
