Damp investigation after cavity insulation for Limavady properties
Limavady sits in County Londonderry, roughly 14 miles east of Derry. We work across the BT49 district, including nearby Coleraine, Derry and Magherafelt.
If your Limavady installation has a guarantee, we check it first; the guarantee route may cover the work. We never cold-call in Limavady or anywhere else, and we do not work with doorstep claims companies.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. 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.
For regulations, if cavity wall insulation follows in Limavady, inserting cavity wall insulation needs a building control application to the council before work starts.
