What we look for in Downpatrick
We cover Downpatrick and nearby Newtownards, Castlereagh and Lisburn. It's roughly 23 miles from Downpatrick to Bangor (County Down), the largest town in County Down. 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 Down: 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.
For render repairs in Downpatrick, we photograph and map each crack so you can see what we propose and why.

Planning and building control in Northern Ireland
Small repairs and cleaning in Downpatrick normally need no approvals. Listed buildings are the exception — even minor external work can need consent.
What causes render to crack?
Common causes are a render mix too strong for the wall, missing or corroded beads, water getting in at cills and copings, building movement, and render applied in poor weather. Fine surface crazing is usually cosmetic; wider cracks, stepped cracks or bulging need investigating before patching.

Render repairs in Downpatrick: questions
Are hairline cracks a problem?
Fine crazing is often cosmetic. Cracks wider than about 1mm, stepped cracks or bulges should be checked, as water can get behind.
Can you match my existing render colour?
We get as close as possible, but weathered render rarely matches a new patch exactly. A full-elevation recoat gives an even finish.
How soon can repairs be done?
Small repairs can usually be booked once a dry weather window is forecast.
