What we look for in Magherafelt
As well as Magherafelt itself, we quote in Cookstown, Ballymena and Antrim. Magherafelt is about 33 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.
Schools and community buildings around Magherafelt are usually phased by elevation, with noisy stages in holidays where possible.

Permissions in Northern Ireland
For Magherafelt homes, the council's planning office has the final say on external changes; conservation areas, flats and listed buildings need an application or consent.
Building control applies to insulation and major re-rendering in Northern Ireland, and the work is signed off by the council.
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 Magherafelt: 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 handle the planning application?
We provide the technical information, drawings and samples an application needs; your agent or our designer can submit it.
Do you cover Magherafelt?
Yes — we survey and quote commercial external wall insulation in Magherafelt (BT45) and nearby Cookstown, Ballymena and Antrim, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
