Damp investigation after cavity insulation for Enniskillen properties
Our County Fermanagh coverage takes in Enniskillen (BT74) and nearby Irvinestown and Lisnaskea. Enniskillen is one of the main towns we cover in County Fermanagh.
Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Enniskillen properties, so you can choose who fixes them. If your Enniskillen installation has a guarantee, we check it first; the guarantee route may cover the work.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. Parts of County Fermanagh 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 Enniskillen, inserting cavity wall insulation needs a building control application to the council before work starts.

Common causes we check
Defective pointing, cracked render and porous bricks letting rain in; leaking gutters and downpipes; fill bridging the cavity where mortar droppings or debris have collected; ground levels above the damp-proof course; and condensation from cooking, drying clothes and too little ventilation.
