Cavity insulation for new builds and extensions for Downpatrick properties
Our County Down coverage takes in Downpatrick (BT30) and nearby Newtownards, Banbridge and Bangor. It is roughly 22 miles south of Bangor.
For semi-detached and terraced homes in Downpatrick, cavity barriers are fitted where your wall meets your neighbour's so the fill stays on your side. Downpatrick properties with rendered or painted walls get a closer look at the outer finish, because cracked render can let rain behind it.
Before any material is chosen, exposure is checked. Parts of County Down 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 Downpatrick 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.
