What we look for in Portadown
We also cover Craigavon and Lurgan, close to Portadown. Portadown sits around 3 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 Portadown 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 Portadown, changing a house's external appearance, and any work on flats or listed buildings, may need permission, so we check with the council.
Building control applies to insulation and major re-rendering in Northern Ireland, and the work is signed off by the council.
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 Portadown: 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.
Is lime render more expensive?
Usually, because it's applied in coats by hand and needs more curing time.
