Underfloor insulation for Downpatrick properties
If your property is in Downpatrick or the BT30 district or nearby Newtownards, Banbridge and Bangor, it is within our County Down coverage. It is roughly 22 miles south of Bangor.
Where a Downpatrick home also has empty cavity walls, we can survey those at the same time. In Downpatrick homes this is often done on the same visit as a cavity fill, which saves a second trip.
For regulations, if cavity wall insulation follows in Downpatrick, inserting cavity wall insulation needs a building control application to the council before work starts.

Keeping the void ventilated
Air bricks under a suspended floor must stay clear so the timbers stay dry. Insulation goes between the joists, not across the void, and gaps at skirtings are sealed to stop draughts.
