Damp investigation after cavity insulation for Newry properties
Newry is among the towns we cover in County Down, alongside Banbridge, Downpatrick and Newtownards. It is roughly 43 miles south-west of Bangor.
If your Newry installation has a guarantee, we check it first; the guarantee route may cover the work. We never cold-call in Newry or anywhere else, and we do not work with doorstep claims companies.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. Parts of County Down 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.
In terms of approvals, if cavity wall insulation follows in Newry, inserting cavity wall insulation needs a building control application to the council before work starts.
