Damp investigation after cavity insulation for Dungannon properties
Our County Tyrone coverage takes in Dungannon (BT71) and nearby Cookstown and Omagh. It is about 25 miles east of Omagh.
Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Dungannon properties, so you can choose who fixes them. Where a Dungannon wall does need work, bricks are lifted and rebuilt in matching mortar, and the cavity is checked with a camera before it is closed up.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. 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 Dungannon, inserting cavity wall insulation needs a building control application to the council before work starts.
