Existing insulation and guarantee check for Enniskillen properties
We cover Enniskillen and the BT74 postcode district, including nearby Irvinestown and Lisnaskea. Enniskillen is one of the main towns we cover in County Fermanagh.
The written result for your Enniskillen property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next. Buyers and sellers in Enniskillen often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. 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.
On the rules side, if cavity wall insulation follows in Enniskillen, inserting cavity wall insulation needs a building control application to the council before work starts.

How to tell if a house already has cavity insulation
Look for a regular pattern of small patched holes in the mortar joints, often about a metre apart. Check the EPC, which may say 'filled cavity'. Ask the seller for a guarantee. The reliable answer is a borescope check, because patched holes can be from a fill that was later removed and EPCs are sometimes wrong.
