Cavity wall insulation removal for Craigavon properties
We cover Craigavon and the BT65 postcode district, including nearby Lurgan, Portadown and Armagh. Craigavon is one of the main towns we cover in County Armagh.
Damp in an insulated Craigavon home is not always the insulation's fault, so the diagnosis comes before any extraction. Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Craigavon properties, so you can choose who fixes them.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. Parts of County Armagh 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 Craigavon, inserting cavity wall insulation needs a building control application to the council before work starts.

If you have a guarantee
Contact your original installer first. If that does not resolve it within two months, CIGA's process applies for CIGA-guaranteed installs. Removing insulation yourself can void a guarantee, so speak to the provider before work.
