Existing insulation and guarantee check for Irvinestown properties
Irvinestown is among the towns we cover in County Fermanagh, alongside Enniskillen and Lisnaskea. It is roughly 6 miles north-east of Enniskillen.
Every inspection point in Irvinestown is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor. The written result for your Irvinestown 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 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 compliance, if cavity wall insulation follows in Irvinestown, 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.
