Wall tie replacement for Craigavon properties
Craigavon sits in County Armagh. We work across the BT65 district, including nearby Lurgan, Portadown and Armagh.
Damp in an insulated Craigavon home is not always the insulation's fault, so the diagnosis comes before any extraction. We never cold-call in Craigavon or anywhere else, and we do not work with doorstep claims companies.
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.
On compliance, if cavity wall insulation follows in Craigavon, 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.
