Existing insulation and guarantee check for Cookstown properties
Our County Tyrone coverage takes in Cookstown (BT80) and nearby Dungannon and Omagh. It is about 22 miles east of Omagh.
Every inspection point in Cookstown is photographed and logged, so you have a record to show a buyer, lender or contractor. A survey in Cookstown gives you facts before anyone drills: what the wall is, what is in the cavity and whether it is sound.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. 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 Cookstown, inserting cavity wall insulation needs a building control application to the council before work starts.
Rules in Northern Ireland

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.
