Borescope cavity inspection for Lofthouse properties
Lofthouse sits in West Yorkshire, about 5 miles south-east of Leeds. We work across the WF3 district, including nearby Wakefield, Morley and Ossett.
Where a Lofthouse wall shows cold patches or damp, the survey targets those areas first rather than sampling at random. A survey in Lofthouse gives you facts before anyone drills: what the wall is, what is in the cavity and whether it is sound.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. 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.
In terms of approvals, if cavity wall insulation follows in Lofthouse, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
Rules in England
Filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification if insulation work follows.

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.
