What we look for in Newtownabbey
We also cover Holywood and Belfast, close to Newtownabbey. Newtownabbey is about 4 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.
Two-tone schemes, such as a darker plinth or entrance surround, are an option on houses in Newtownabbey.

Can insulated render be applied in winter?
Only in suitable weather — typically above 5°C and rising, with no frost or rain during curing. Winter programmes allow for lost days.
