Homes and walls in Larne
We also cover Carrickfergus and Newtownabbey, close to Larne. Larne is about 19 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.
For Larne homes with older solid walls, we'll usually steer you to silicone or mineral finishes instead.

Planning and building control in Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland, permitted development is set by the 2015 Order; in Larne, 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 Larne: questions
Can I have a dark colour?
Yes, though very dark shades absorb more heat; the manufacturer's colour guidance is followed.
Does acrylic render attract dirt?
It can hold dirt slightly more than silicone over time. Occasional gentle cleaning keeps it bright.
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.

Yes — we survey and quote acrylic render in Larne (BT40) and nearby Carrickfergus, Newtownabbey and Bangor (County Down), with a fixed written price before any work starts.
