Cavity wall suitability survey for Limavady properties
We cover Limavady and the BT49 postcode district, including nearby Coleraine, Derry and Magherafelt. It is roughly 14 miles east of Derry.
The written result for your Limavady property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next. Buyers and sellers in Limavady often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. Parts of County Londonderry 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, in Limavady inserting cavity wall insulation needs a building control application to the council before work starts.
Rules in Northern Ireland
