Homes and walls in Carrickfergus
We cover Carrickfergus and nearby Holywood, Newtownabbey and Bangor (County Down). Carrickfergus sits around 10 miles from Belfast.
Northern Ireland has many rendered and pebble-dashed homes, older solid-walled rural houses, and estates built by the Housing Executive.
Parts of County Antrim fall in the higher wind-driven rain exposure bands, especially coastal and upland sites, so render specification, movement joints and detailing at cills, verges and the base of the wall matter more than usual.
