Thermal imaging survey for Newtownabbey properties
If your property is in Newtownabbey or the BT36 district or nearby Belfast, Carrickfergus and Lisburn, it is within our County Antrim coverage. It is around 4 miles north of Belfast.
The written result for your Newtownabbey property is plain English: what we found, what it means and what, if anything, to do next. Buyers and sellers in Newtownabbey often book this check when a survey report or EPC raises questions about the walls.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. 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.
For regulations, if cavity wall insulation follows in Newtownabbey, inserting cavity wall insulation needs a building control application to the council before work starts.
