What we look for in County Tyrone
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 Tyrone: 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.
On solid-walled houses in County Tyrone, the gable or the most weather-exposed wall is often the place to start.

Approvals in Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland, permitted development is set by the Planning (General Permitted Development) Order (NI) 2015. Changing the external appearance of a house may need permission, and conservation areas, flats, commercial buildings and listed buildings need planning permission or listed building consent. Check with your council's planning office.
Insulating external walls is building work under the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012, handled by council building control, with Technical Booklet F1 covering conservation of fuel and power in dwellings.
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 County Tyrone: questions
Can I do one wall at a time?
Yes. Many owners start with the coldest or most exposed elevation, often a gable end.
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.
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.
