What we look for in Armagh
We also cover Portadown and Dungannon, close to Armagh. It's roughly 13 miles from Armagh to Craigavon, the largest town in County Armagh. 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 Armagh: 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.
On mixed-tenure blocks in Armagh, we agree access and resident notices with the managing agent before scaffold goes up.

Planning and building control in Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland, permitted development is set by the 2015 Order; in Armagh, changing a house's external appearance, and any work on flats or listed buildings, may need permission, so we check with the council.
Council building control in Northern Ireland checks insulation work of this kind; the quote says how the application is handled.
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.
For flats, the lease or management agreement sets how owners agree to the work and share its cost.
How disruptive is it for residents?
Most work happens from scaffolding outside. Residents may need to allow brief access to extend window cills, vents or flues from the inside. We provide a notice for residents covering dates, scaffold, and how to raise concerns.

Flats and blocks in Armagh: questions
Can one flat have external wall insulation on its own?
Rarely. The outside walls are usually owned by the freeholder, the result would look patchy, and planning is unlikely. Whole-building schemes are the norm.
Do flats need planning permission for EWI?
Yes. Permitted development rights for external alterations apply to houses, not flats or maisonettes, so an application is needed.
Do you cover Armagh?
Yes — we survey and quote EWI for flats and blocks in Armagh (BT61) and nearby Portadown, Dungannon and Craigavon, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
