Cavity cleaning and debris removal for Strabane properties
Our County Tyrone coverage takes in Strabane (BT82) and nearby Omagh, Cookstown and Dungannon. It is about 16 miles north of Omagh.
Damp in an insulated Strabane home is not always the insulation's fault, so the diagnosis comes before any extraction. If your Strabane installation has a guarantee, we check it first; the guarantee route may cover the work.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. Parts of County Tyrone 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 Strabane, inserting cavity wall insulation needs a building control application to the council before work starts.

Why debris matters
A clean cavity lets water that gets through the outer leaf drain away. Debris piled at the base or caught on ties makes a bridge for that water. It is a common cause of damp low on walls and around ties, with or without insulation.
