What we look for in Lisburn
As well as Lisburn itself, we quote in Belfast, Castlereagh and Newtownabbey. Lisburn is about 7 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.
We provide drawings and finish samples for planning applications on Lisburn commercial buildings.

Northern Ireland: planning and regulations
In Northern Ireland, permitted development is set by the 2015 Order; in Lisburn, 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.
On taller buildings in Northern Ireland we specify non-combustible mineral wool systems and confirm the classification with building control, in line with Technical Booklet E.
Does commercial EWI need planning permission?
Generally yes — permitted development rights for external wall changes are written for houses. Applications need elevations showing the projection, finish and colours, and details at eaves and openings.

Commercial EWI in Lisburn: questions
Is VAT 0% on commercial insulation?
Usually not. The zero rate covers insulation installed in residential accommodation and, since 1 February 2024, buildings used solely for a relevant charitable purpose, such as many charity-run village halls. Other commercial work is standard-rated.
Can the building stay open during the works?
Usually, yes. The work is phased and the scaffold layout keeps entrances and escape routes clear.
Do you provide a maintenance plan?
Yes — the handover includes the system documents and recommended inspection and cleaning intervals.
Do you cover Lisburn?
Yes — we survey and quote commercial external wall insulation in Lisburn (BT27) and nearby Belfast, Castlereagh and Newtownabbey, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
