Party wall cavity insulation for Portadown properties
If your property is in Portadown or the BT62 district or nearby Craigavon, Lurgan and Armagh, it is within our County Armagh coverage. It is about 3 miles south-west of Craigavon.
A suitable wall in Portadown is usually filled in a single day from outside, with drill holes made good to match the pointing. For semi-detached and terraced homes in Portadown, cavity barriers are fitted where your wall meets your neighbour's so the fill stays on your side.
Every elevation is judged on its own exposure. 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, in Portadown inserting cavity wall insulation needs a building control application to the council before work starts.

Why a party wall loses heat
Many semi-detached and terraced homes built with cavity separating walls have that cavity open to the loft. Air moves up the cavity and out at the top, a loss sometimes called the party wall bypass. Filling the cavity and sealing the top stops it.
