What we look for in Antrim
We also cover Ballymena and Newtownabbey, close to Antrim. It's roughly 14 miles from Antrim 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.
We show acrylic and silicone side by side at Antrim surveys so you can see the difference in texture.

Northern Ireland: planning and regulations
In Northern Ireland, permitted development is set by the 2015 Order; in Antrim, changing a house's external appearance, and any work on flats or listed buildings, may need permission, so we check with the council.
Building control applies to insulation and major re-rendering in Northern Ireland, and the work is signed off by the council.
Acrylic or silicone?
Both are thin-coat, through-coloured finishes. Acrylic is more flexible and slightly cheaper; silicone is more water-repellent and vapour-open and generally stays cleaner. On older solid walls that need to breathe, silicone or mineral finishes are usually preferred.

Acrylic render in Antrim: questions
Can I have a dark colour?
Yes, though very dark shades absorb more heat; the manufacturer's colour guidance is followed.
How long does acrylic render last?
Typically 20–25 years or more with maintenance on a suitable wall.
Can acrylic render go on a solid stone wall?
It's not our first choice there, because a vapour-open finish is safer on walls that need to breathe.
Do you cover Antrim?
Yes — we survey and quote acrylic render in Antrim (BT41) and nearby Ballymena, Newtownabbey and Belfast, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
