Party wall cavity insulation for Ballymena properties
If your property is in Ballymena or the BT42 district or nearby Antrim, Larne and Newtownabbey, it is within our County Antrim coverage. It is around 23 miles north-west of Belfast.
A suitable wall in Ballymena is usually filled in a single day from outside, with drill holes made good to match the pointing. Most Ballymena houses built from the 1920s onwards have cavity walls, but the survey still checks each one: cavity width, debris, the condition of the brickwork and how exposed each wall is.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. Parts of County Antrim 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.
In terms of approvals, in Ballymena inserting cavity wall insulation needs a building control application to the council before work starts.

What we need from you and your neighbour
The cavity is shared, so we talk you through notifying your neighbour before work. Filling is done from your side, usually through the loft. The survey confirms the wall is a cavity wall and not solid masonry, and checks for cables, flues and any gaps that would let fill escape.
