Repointing and pre-insulation repairs for Armagh properties
We cover Armagh and the BT61 postcode district, including nearby Portadown, Craigavon and Lurgan. It is around 11 miles south-west of Craigavon.
We never cold-call in Armagh or anywhere else, and we do not work with doorstep claims companies. Where an Armagh wall does need work, bricks are lifted and rebuilt in matching mortar, and the cavity is checked with a camera before it is closed up.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. Parts of County Armagh 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 Armagh, inserting cavity wall insulation needs a building control application to the council before work starts.
Rules in Northern Ireland
Inserting cavity wall insulation needs a building control application to the council before work starts if insulation work follows.

Why repairs come first
Energy Saving Trust advice is to fix brickwork, pointing, roofs, gutters and downpipes before filling. A filled cavity is less forgiving of a wet outer leaf than an empty one, so we price repairs separately and you choose who carries them out.
