Damp investigation after cavity insulation for Antrim properties
Antrim is among the towns we cover in County Antrim, alongside Ballymena, Newtownabbey and Belfast. It is about 16 miles north-west of Belfast.
Damp in an insulated Antrim home is not always the insulation's fault, so the diagnosis comes before any extraction. We never cold-call in Antrim or anywhere else, and we do not work with doorstep claims companies.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. 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.
As for paperwork, if cavity wall insulation follows in Antrim, inserting cavity wall insulation needs a building control application to the council before work starts.
