What we look for in Banbridge
Surveys in Banbridge also cover the surrounding BT32 district and towns such as Craigavon and Lurgan. It's roughly 32 miles from Banbridge to Bangor (County Down), the largest town in County Down. 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 Down: 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 terraced homes in Banbridge with attractive brick fronts, one approach is to insulate the front internally and the rear externally.

Northern Ireland: planning and regulations
Internal insulation rarely needs planning permission; listed buildings need consent for internal changes.
Building control applies to insulation and major re-rendering in Northern Ireland, and the work is signed off by the council.
What are the options for internal insulation?
- Insulated plasterboard — PIR or phenolic foam bonded to plasterboard, fixed to the wall and skimmed. Thinnest option.
- Insulated stud wall — a timber or metal frame filled with insulation, with a vapour control layer and plasterboard. Takes more space but runs services easily.
- Wood fibre and lime — breathable boards finished in lime plaster, for older walls that need to manage moisture.

Internal wall insulation in Banbridge: questions
Is internal insulation cheaper than external?
Per m² usually yes, but the cost of moving fittings and redecorating narrows the gap on whole-house jobs.
How much room space will I lose?
Usually 50–100mm on each insulated wall, depending on the system.
What happens to my radiators and sockets?
They're taken off and refitted on the new wall face. Electrical work is done by a qualified electrician.
