Borescope cavity inspection for Ballymena properties
If your property is in Ballymena or the BT42 district or nearby Antrim, Larne and Newtownabbey, it is within our County Antrim coverage. It is about 23 miles north-west of Belfast.
The written result for your Ballymena property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next. Every inspection point in Ballymena is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. Parts of County Antrim 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.
For regulations, if cavity wall insulation follows in Ballymena, inserting cavity wall insulation needs a building control application to the council before work starts.
