Local considerations 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 bring brick slip samples to Antrim surveys so you can compare them with neighbouring houses.

Approvals in Northern Ireland
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.
Council building control in Northern Ireland checks insulation work of this kind; the quote says how the application is handled.
How is the brick slip system built up?
Insulation boards are fixed as for any EWI, followed by a reinforced base coat. The slips are bonded with the system adhesive, spaced for joints, then pointed. Corners use L-shaped slips so the edge looks like a solid brick.

Brick slip EWI in Antrim: questions
Is a brick slip finish more expensive?
Yes — roughly £70–£120 per m² more than render, because of materials and slower installation.
Do brick slips fall off?
Not when installed to the system manufacturer's specification, with the right adhesive, fixings and pointing.
Can I mix brick slips and render?
Yes. A brick plinth or ground floor with render above is a common combination.
Do you cover Antrim?
Yes — we survey and quote brick slip finishes in Antrim (BT41) and nearby Ballymena, Newtownabbey and Belfast, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
