What we look for in Ballymena
We also cover Antrim and Magherafelt, close to Ballymena. Ballymena is about 23 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.
Acrylic can suit extensions in Ballymena, especially where a stronger colour is wanted.

Planning and building control in Northern Ireland
Before quoting in Ballymena, we check whether the property is listed or in a conservation area, which changes what needs planning permission in Northern Ireland.
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.
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 Ballymena: questions
Does acrylic render attract dirt?
It can hold dirt slightly more than silicone over time. Occasional gentle cleaning keeps it bright.
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.
