Homes and walls in Newtownabbey
We cover Newtownabbey and nearby Holywood, Belfast and Carrickfergus. It's roughly 4 miles from Newtownabbey to Belfast, the largest town in County Antrim.
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.
