Before we quote in Armagh
We cover Armagh and nearby Portadown, Dungannon and Craigavon. Armagh is about 13 miles from Craigavon. 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.
Lime work in Armagh is scheduled for frost-free months so the render cures properly.

Permissions in Northern Ireland
Before quoting in Armagh, 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.
Why use lime instead of cement?
Cement render is hard and relatively impermeable. On older walls built with lime mortar, it can crack, let rain in at the cracks and then stop the wall drying, leading to damp patches inside and spalling stone or brick. Lime is softer, more flexible and vapour-open, so moisture can escape.

Lime render in Armagh: questions
Is lime render more expensive?
Usually, because it's applied in coats by hand and needs more curing time.
Does lime render need painting?
Traditionally it's limewashed, which is breathable. Modern masonry paints can block vapour, so we'd avoid them.
Should I remove cement render from my stone house?
If it's cracked, hollow or trapping damp, often yes. If it's sound and the wall is dry, it may be left. The survey looks at both.
