Cavity wall suitability survey across County Armagh
We cover 4 towns in County Armagh: Craigavon, Portadown, Armagh and Lurgan.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. 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.
Where a County Armagh wall shows cold patches or damp, the survey targets those areas first rather than sampling at random. Every inspection point in County Armagh is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor.
Building control in Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland, inserting insulation into an existing cavity wall needs a building control application to your council before the work. We make sure the application route is agreed and confirmed in writing before any drilling starts.

What the surveyor checks
Wall construction and thickness at window reveals; cavity width and debris with a borescope; brickwork, pointing, render, sills, gutters and downpipes; signs of damp inside and out; air bricks and flues; joins with neighbours and extensions; and the exposure of each elevation to wind-driven rain.
What is included
- Photo-backed written result
