What the job covers

- Fixing design depends on the panel or frame behind the wall
- EWI is not a structural repair for PRC houses designated defective
- Most system-built homes have thin, cold walls and no fillable cavity
Craigavon: walls, weather and approvals
As well as Craigavon itself, we quote in Lurgan, Portadown and Banbridge. Northern Ireland has many rendered and pebble-dashed homes, older solid-walled rural houses, and estates built by the Housing Executive.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across County Armagh: sheltered town streets fare better than walls on high ground or facing the prevailing weather, and the render, beads and cill details are chosen with that in mind.
For concrete houses in Craigavon, we report any visible spalling or cracking before quoting the insulation, not after.

Northern Ireland: planning and regulations
For Craigavon homes, the council's planning office has the final say on external changes; conservation areas, flats and listed buildings need an application or consent.
External wall insulation is building work under the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012, so council building control is involved, with Technical Booklet F1 covering dwellings.
How do I know if my house is non-traditional?
Clues include concrete panels or posts visible at corners, a smooth concrete or rendered finish on houses of a 1940s–1960s estate, steel sheeting on the upper storey, or a mortgage valuation that mentioned the construction type. Common types include Wimpey no-fines (poured concrete), Airey and Cornish Unit (precast reinforced concrete), Reema, Orlit and BISF (steel frame). We identify the type during the survey.

Non-traditional houses in Craigavon: questions
Will EWI make my house mortgageable?
It can make a house more attractive and better insulated, but it does not replace a certified structural repair where a lender requires one. Ask your lender before relying on it.
What if my neighbour isn't insulating?
We finish the system neatly at the boundary with a closing detail so the neighbouring house isn't affected and can be joined later.
Can you put EWI on a BISF house?
Yes, with care. The steel frame and upper-storey cladding need a system and fixing method designed for that construction, and the condition of the frame should be understood first.
Do you cover Craigavon?
Yes — we survey and quote non-traditional house insulation in Craigavon (BT62) and nearby Lurgan, Portadown and Banbridge, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
