Homes and walls in Banbridge
Surveys in Banbridge also cover the surrounding BT32 district and towns such as Craigavon and Lurgan. It's roughly 32 miles from Banbridge to Bangor (County Down), the largest town in County Down. Northern Ireland has many rendered and pebble-dashed homes, older solid-walled rural houses, and estates built by the Housing Executive.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across County Down: sheltered town streets fare better than walls on high ground or facing the prevailing weather, and the render, beads and cill details are chosen with that in mind.
We bring brick slip samples to Banbridge surveys so you can compare them with neighbouring houses.

Northern Ireland: planning and regulations
In Northern Ireland, permitted development is set by the 2015 Order; in Banbridge, changing a house's external appearance, and any work on flats or listed buildings, may need permission, so we check with the council.
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.
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.
