Wall tie replacement for Armagh properties
If your property is in Armagh or the BT61 district or nearby Portadown, Craigavon and Lurgan, it is within our County Armagh coverage. It is roughly 11 miles south-west of Craigavon.
Damp in an insulated Armagh home is not always the insulation's fault, so the diagnosis comes before any extraction. Defects such as failed pointing, leaking gutters and bridged damp-proof courses are listed and priced separately for Armagh properties, so you can choose who fixes them.
Wind-driven rain is the first thing the surveyor weighs up. 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.
In terms of approvals, if cavity wall insulation follows in Armagh, inserting cavity wall insulation needs a building control application to the council before work starts.

Ties and cavity insulation
Ties should be checked before a cavity is filled. Fitting remedial ties does not normally stop a cavity being insulated later, and we can do both in one visit. Where cracking suggests movement, we recommend a structural engineer's view first.
