Homes and walls in Lisburn
Surveys in Lisburn also cover the surrounding BT27 district and towns such as Belfast and Castlereagh. It's roughly 7 miles from Lisburn to Belfast, the largest town in County Antrim. Northern Ireland has many rendered and pebble-dashed homes, older solid-walled rural houses, and estates built by the Housing Executive.
Parts of County Antrim fall in the higher wind-driven rain exposure bands, especially coastal and upland sites, so render specification, movement joints and detailing at cills, verges and the base of the wall matter more than usual.
Silicone suits most rendering jobs in Lisburn, either on its own or over insulation.

Permissions in Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland, permitted development is set by the 2015 Order; in Lisburn, 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.
Silicone or monocouche?
Monocouche is a thicker single-coat cement render used mainly on new blockwork. Silicone is thinner, more flexible and usually more resistant to staining, and it's the finish used over insulation. On older or mixed walls, silicone over a mesh-reinforced base coat is generally the safer choice.

Silicone render in Lisburn: questions
Does silicone render crack?
The mesh-reinforced base coat and the render's flexibility make cracking much less likely than with sand and cement, but structural movement in the wall can still show through.
Can I paint silicone render later?
Yes, with a compatible silicone paint, though through-coloured render rarely needs it.
Can silicone render go over old render?
If the old render is sound and well bonded, often yes after cleaning and priming. Hollow or cracked areas are cut out and repaired first.
Do you cover Lisburn?
Yes — we survey and quote silicone render in Lisburn (BT27) and nearby Belfast, Castlereagh and Newtownabbey, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
