Existing insulation and guarantee check for Portadown properties
If your property is in Portadown or the BT62 district or nearby Craigavon, Lurgan and Armagh, it is within our County Armagh coverage. It is around 3 miles south-west of Craigavon.
Buyers and sellers in Portadown often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls. The written result for your Portadown property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. Parts of County Armagh 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.
As for paperwork, if cavity wall insulation follows in Portadown, inserting cavity wall insulation needs a building control application to the council before work starts.

Tracing a guarantee
Many cavity fills carry a 25-year guarantee from the Cavity Insulation Guarantee Agency (CIGA). CIGA can confirm whether a property is covered and can issue a duplicate guarantee for a fee; at the time of writing that fee is £60 including VAT, and proof of ownership is required.
