Existing insulation and guarantee check across County Tyrone
We cover 4 towns in County Tyrone: Omagh, Dungannon, Cookstown and Strabane.
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.
The written result for your County Tyrone property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next. Every inspection point in County Tyrone is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor.
Building control in Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland, inserting insulation into an existing cavity wall needs a building control application to your council before the work. We make sure the application route is agreed and confirmed in writing before any drilling starts.
Sources: Building Control NI: frequently asked questions; Belfast City Council: what are the building regulations.
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.
What is included
- Borescope checks
- Visual check of walls and patched holes
- Damp signs inside and out
- Guidance on tracing a guarantee
- Short written report
