Existing insulation and guarantee check for Strabane properties
Our County Tyrone coverage takes in Strabane (BT82) and nearby Omagh, Cookstown and Dungannon. It is around 16 miles north of Omagh.
Where a Strabane wall shows cold patches or damp, the survey targets those areas first rather than sampling at random. A survey in Strabane 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.
As for paperwork, if cavity wall insulation follows in Strabane, 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.
