Homes and walls in Strabane
We also cover Derry~Londonderry and Omagh, close to Strabane. It's roughly 17 miles from Strabane to Omagh, the largest town in County Tyrone. 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 Tyrone: 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.
For blocks in Strabane, we start with height, storeys and the planning position, because those decide the system.

Planning and building control in Northern Ireland
Before quoting in Strabane, we check whether the property is listed or in a conservation area, which changes what needs planning permission in Northern Ireland.
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.
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 Strabane: questions
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.
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 you cover Strabane?
Yes — we survey and quote EWI for flats and blocks in Strabane (BT82) and nearby Derry~Londonderry, Omagh and Irvinestown, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
