What we look for in County Fermanagh
Northern Ireland has many rendered and pebble-dashed homes, older solid-walled rural houses, and estates built by the Housing Executive.
Parts of County Fermanagh 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.
Mixed finishes — brick slip below, render above — can suit semi-detached houses in County Fermanagh.

Planning and building control in Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland, permitted development is set by the Planning (General Permitted Development) Order (NI) 2015. Changing the external appearance of a house may need permission, and conservation areas, flats, commercial buildings and listed buildings need planning permission or listed building consent. Check with your council's planning office.
Insulating external walls is building work under the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012, handled by council building control, with Technical Booklet F1 covering conservation of fuel and power in 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.

Brick slip EWI in County Fermanagh: questions
Will brick slips match my neighbours' brick?
We source slips to get close in colour and texture and show samples beforehand, but an exact match to weathered brick isn't always possible.
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 all of County Fermanagh?
Yes. We survey and quote brick slip finishes across County Fermanagh, including Enniskillen, Lisnaskea, Irvinestown.
Do I need planning permission in Northern Ireland?
In Northern Ireland, permitted development is set by the Planning (General Permitted Development) Order (NI) 2015. We check your address before quoting.
