Local considerations in Coleraine
Surveys in Coleraine also cover the surrounding BT52 district and towns such as Limavady and Ballymena. Coleraine is about 27 miles from Derry~Londonderry. Northern Ireland has many rendered and pebble-dashed homes, older solid-walled rural houses, and estates built by the Housing Executive.
Parts of County Londonderry 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 Coleraine surveys so you can compare them with neighbouring houses.

Northern Ireland: planning and regulations
For Coleraine homes, the council's planning office has the final say on external changes; conservation areas, flats and listed buildings need an application or consent.
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 Coleraine: questions
Do brick slips fall off?
Not when installed to the system manufacturer's specification, with the right adhesive, fixings and pointing.
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.
Can I mix brick slips and render?
Yes. A brick plinth or ground floor with render above is a common combination.
Do you cover Coleraine?
Yes — we survey and quote brick slip finishes in Coleraine (BT52) and nearby Limavady, Ballymena and Magherafelt, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
