Local considerations in Armagh
We also cover Portadown and Dungannon, close to Armagh. 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.
Where a home in Armagh is system-built, the first job is confirming the construction type.

Planning and building control 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.
How do I know if my house is non-traditional?
Clues include concrete panels or posts visible at corners, a smooth concrete or rendered finish on houses of a 1940s–1960s estate, steel sheeting on the upper storey, or a mortgage valuation that mentioned the construction type. Common types include Wimpey no-fines (poured concrete), Airey and Cornish Unit (precast reinforced concrete), Reema, Orlit and BISF (steel frame). We identify the type during the survey.

Non-traditional houses in Armagh: questions
What if my neighbour isn't insulating?
We finish the system neatly at the boundary with a closing detail so the neighbouring house isn't affected and can be joined later.
Will EWI make my house mortgageable?
It can make a house more attractive and better insulated, but it does not replace a certified structural repair where a lender requires one. Ask your lender before relying on it.
Can you put EWI on a BISF house?
Yes, with care. The steel frame and upper-storey cladding need a system and fixing method designed for that construction, and the condition of the frame should be understood first.
Do you cover Armagh?
Yes — we survey and quote non-traditional house insulation in Armagh (BT61) and nearby Portadown, Dungannon and Craigavon, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
