Repointing and pre-insulation repairs for Lurgan properties
If your property is in Lurgan or the BT66 district or nearby Craigavon, Portadown and Armagh, it is within our County Armagh coverage. It is about 2 miles east of Craigavon.
Damp in an insulated Lurgan home is not always the insulation's fault, so the diagnosis comes before any extraction. We never cold-call in Lurgan or anywhere else, and we do not work with doorstep claims companies.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. 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 Lurgan, inserting cavity wall insulation needs a building control application to the council before work starts.
Rules in Northern Ireland

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.
