Social housing and estate programmes for Carrickfergus properties
Our County Antrim coverage takes in Carrickfergus (BT38) and nearby Newtownabbey, Larne and Belfast. It is roughly 9 miles north-east of Belfast.
Per-address photo records for Carrickfergus properties make compliance files and EPC updates straightforward. Blocks of flats in Carrickfergus are surveyed as a whole, because the cavity runs across every flat in the building.
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.
As for paperwork, in Carrickfergus inserting cavity wall insulation needs a building control application to the council before work starts.
