Borescope cavity inspection for Carrickfergus properties
If your property is in Carrickfergus or the BT38 district or nearby Newtownabbey, Larne and Belfast, it is within our County Antrim coverage. It is roughly 9 miles north-east of Belfast.
Every inspection point in Carrickfergus is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor. The written result for your Carrickfergus property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. 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.
On the rules side, if cavity wall insulation follows in Carrickfergus, inserting cavity wall insulation needs a building control application to the council before work starts.
