Repointing and pre-insulation repairs for Strabane properties
If your property is in Strabane or the BT82 district or nearby Omagh, Cookstown and Dungannon, it is within our County Tyrone coverage. It is around 16 miles north of Omagh.
We never cold-call in Strabane or anywhere else, and we do not work with doorstep claims companies. Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Strabane properties, so you can choose who fixes them.
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.
On the rules side, 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

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.
