Social housing and estate programmes for Belfast properties
We cover Belfast and the BT1 postcode district, including nearby Newtownabbey, Lisburn and Carrickfergus. Belfast is one of the main towns we cover in County Antrim.
Blocks of flats in Belfast are surveyed as a whole, because the cavity runs across every flat in the building. Work on Belfast rented homes and blocks is booked around tenants and residents, with access arranged through your agent if you prefer.
Exposure matters for every cavity wall. 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 Belfast inserting cavity wall insulation needs a building control application to the council before work starts.
Funding in Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland, the Affordable Warmth Scheme helps eligible households with a gross income under £23,000.

Quality after ECO
The National Audit Office's October 2025 report found serious failings in some government-funded installs. We work survey-first, record every stage, and name the installer and guarantee on each order.
