Damp investigation after cavity insulation for Newtownabbey properties
Newtownabbey is among the towns we cover in County Antrim, alongside Belfast, Carrickfergus and Lisburn. It is around 4 miles north of Belfast.
We never cold-call in Newtownabbey or anywhere else, and we do not work with doorstep claims companies. Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Newtownabbey properties, so you can choose who fixes them.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. 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 Newtownabbey, inserting cavity wall insulation needs a building control application to the council before work starts.
