Damp investigation after cavity insulation for Cookstown properties
Cookstown sits in County Tyrone, roughly 22 miles east of Omagh. We work across the BT80 district, including nearby Dungannon and Omagh.
We never cold-call in Cookstown or anywhere else, and we do not work with doorstep claims companies. If your Cookstown installation has a guarantee, we check it first; the guarantee route may cover the work.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. Parts of County Tyrone 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.
On compliance, if cavity wall insulation follows in Cookstown, 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.
