What we look for in Lurgan
Surveys in Lurgan also cover the surrounding BT66 district and towns such as Craigavon and Portadown. It's roughly 2 miles from Lurgan to Craigavon, the largest town in County Armagh. 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 solid-walled homes in Lurgan, we check wall thickness and age first to confirm there's no cavity to fill.

Northern Ireland: planning and regulations
In Northern Ireland, permitted development is set by the 2015 Order; in Lurgan, changing a house's external appearance, and any work on flats or listed buildings, may need permission, so we check with the council.
Building control applies to insulation and major re-rendering in Northern Ireland, and the work is signed off by the council.
How can I tell if my walls are solid?
Measure the wall thickness at a window or door: about 225mm (9 inches) of brick usually means solid, while 260mm or more often means a cavity. On exposed brick, a pattern with bricks laid end-on (headers) every few courses points to solid construction. Stone walls are usually solid regardless of thickness. Age is a strong clue too — most homes built before the 1920s are solid-walled.

Solid wall insulation in Lurgan: questions
Is solid wall insulation worth it?
For many solid-walled homes it's one of the biggest single improvements to comfort, because the walls are often the largest heat-loss area. Savings depend on the home and heating, so we don't promise a figure.
Can I do one wall at a time?
Yes. Many owners start with the coldest or most exposed elevation, often a gable end.
Does solid wall insulation cause condensation?
It can if detailed poorly, particularly internally. A condensation risk check for the proposed build-up and careful detailing at joists, reveals and corners avoid it.
Do you cover Lurgan?
Yes — we survey and quote solid wall insulation in Lurgan (BT66) and nearby Craigavon, Portadown and Banbridge, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
