Cavity insulation for new builds and extensions for Portadown properties
We cover Portadown and the BT62 postcode district, including nearby Craigavon, Lurgan and Armagh. It is about 3 miles south-west of Craigavon.
If a wall in Portadown is not suitable, for example because of an undiagnosed damp patch or a very exposed gable, you are told so in writing with the reason. Where a Portadown property has an extension or a conservatory, we check how the old and new walls meet, because that junction is often missed.
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.
For regulations, in Portadown inserting cavity wall insulation needs a building control application to the council before work starts.

What we work from
Your architect's or designer's specification and the energy calculation for the job. We match the product, thickness and fixing to that spec, keep cavities clean as the walls rise, and fit cavity trays, closers and stop ends where shown so the building control inspection goes smoothly.
