Before we quote in Banbridge
As well as Banbridge itself, we quote in Craigavon, Lurgan and Portadown. Banbridge sits around 32 miles from Bangor (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.
If you're re-rendering in Banbridge, we'll show you what adding insulation under the silicone would cost at the same time.

Planning and building control in Northern Ireland
For Banbridge homes, the council's planning office has the final say on external changes; conservation areas, flats and listed buildings need an application or consent.
Council building control in Northern Ireland checks insulation work of this kind; the quote says how the application is handled.
How is silicone render applied?
On masonry, the wall is prepared and any loose material removed. A base coat with glass-fibre mesh is applied over the whole wall to resist cracking, followed by a primer and the silicone finish, trowelled to its grain size. On EWI, the same base coat, primer and finish go over the insulation boards.

Silicone render in Banbridge: questions
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.
Can I paint silicone render later?
Yes, with a compatible silicone paint, though through-coloured render rarely needs it.
Do you cover Banbridge?
