Homes and walls in Strabane
Surveys in Strabane also cover the surrounding BT82 district and towns such as Derry~Londonderry and Omagh. Strabane is about 17 miles from Omagh. 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 Tyrone: 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 Strabane is scheduled for frost-free months so the render cures properly.

Planning and building control in Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland, permitted development is set by the 2015 Order; in Strabane, 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.
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 Strabane: questions
Can lime render be applied in winter?
Only with protection and in frost-free conditions. Spring to early autumn is the usual season.
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.
