Dungannon: walls, weather and approvals
Surveys in Dungannon also cover the surrounding BT71 district and towns such as Cookstown and Armagh. Dungannon is about 22 miles from Omagh. 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 Dungannon, the gable or the most weather-exposed wall is often the place to start.

Approvals in Northern Ireland
For Dungannon 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 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 Dungannon: 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 Dungannon?
Yes — we survey and quote solid wall insulation in Dungannon (BT71) and nearby Cookstown, Armagh and Portadown, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
