Homes and walls in Lurgan
As well as Lurgan itself, we quote in Craigavon, Portadown and Banbridge. It's roughly 2 miles from Lurgan 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.
Lime work in Lurgan is scheduled for frost-free months so the render cures properly.

Approvals in Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland, permitted development is set by the 2015 Order; in Lurgan, 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.
Can lime render be insulated?
Yes, using wood fibre boards or insulating lime plasters. These keep the wall breathable while reducing heat loss.

Lime render in Lurgan: questions
Can lime render be applied in winter?
Only with protection and in frost-free conditions. Spring to early autumn is the usual season.
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.
