Lurgan: walls, weather and approvals
We also cover Craigavon and Portadown, close to Lurgan. It's roughly 2 miles from Lurgan to Craigavon, the largest town in County Armagh. 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.
On tree-shaded or north-facing walls in Lurgan, silicone's water repellence helps it stay cleaner for longer.

Permissions in Northern Ireland
For Lurgan homes, the council's planning office has the final say on external changes; conservation areas, flats and listed buildings need an application or consent.
Building control applies to insulation and major re-rendering in Northern Ireland, and the work is signed off by the council.
Is silicone render maintenance-free?
Not quite. It stays cleaner than most renders because water runs off and dries quickly, but north-facing or tree-shaded walls can still gather algae. A gentle biocide wash every few years keeps it looking new. Pressure washing is avoided because it can damage the surface.

Silicone render in Lurgan: questions
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.
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.
