Professional Cavity Wall Surveys in Northern Ireland

Spray foam surveys across Northern Ireland

Foam sprayed onto rafters can hide a lot: a slipped slate, a blocked vent, timber that never dries out. Bookings are taken here for spray foam surveys, loft insulation surveys and cavity wall insulation surveys at a set price. Tell us what you have found, add the property details, and a specialist will be in touch to arrange the visit.

Book a survey How it works

When a lender or insurer wants evidence

Spray foam tends to surface at the point of sale. A valuation surveyor may flag it and ask for more detail before a mortgage completes, and some lenders want written evidence covering the roof timbers and the kind of foam that was installed. If a lender, solicitor or insurer has asked for something specific, include their wording when you book so the specialist knows which questions the report needs to answer. Each organisation sets its own rules, so it is worth checking with them what they will accept.

Where remedial work such as foam removal or timber treatment follows later, the specialist may issue a certificate for it, which can be kept with the property paperwork. Whether a survey is needed at all is a question the specialist can talk through with you once a visit is arranged.

What Northern Ireland housing means for the survey

Older terraces, bungalows and barn conversions each hold spray foam differently, so a specialist working across Northern Ireland begins at the likeliest spot.

What the visit covers and what follows it

The roof space, looked at properly
The specialist notes where the foam sits, whether it is open or closed cell, how deep it has been laid and what it covers, then checks the timbers and the roof covering above.
Readings, not a quick glance
Timber moisture content and the airflow through the loft are measured during the visit, so the findings rest on numbers as well as what the eye can see.
Cavity and loft surveys as well
Bookings are also taken for cavity wall insulation surveys and loft insulation surveys, so a house with more than one kind of insulation can be looked at in a single visit.
Written up after the visit
A report follows the appointment, setting out what was found, where, and what the specialist suggests next. It can be passed to a lender, a solicitor or a buyer.
Six counties covered
Enquiries arrive from Belfast, Derry, Armagh, Tyrone, Fermanagh and Down, taking in city terraces, farmhouses and post-war semis.
