Borescope cavity inspection for Chippenham properties
If your property is in Chippenham or the SN15 district or nearby Trowbridge and Swindon, it is within our Wiltshire coverage. It is around 16 miles south-west of Swindon.
The written result for your Chippenham property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next. Buyers and sellers in Chippenham often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. Wiltshire 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 Chippenham, 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.
