Borescope cavity inspection for Wakefield properties
Wakefield sits in West Yorkshire, roughly 8 miles south of Leeds. We work across the WF1 district, including nearby Lofthouse, Ossett and Dewsbury.
The written result for your Wakefield property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next. A survey in Wakefield gives you facts before anyone drills: what the wall is, what is in the cavity and whether it is sound.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. 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.
For regulations, if cavity wall insulation follows in Wakefield, filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.

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.
