Homes and walls in Magherafelt
As well as Magherafelt itself, we quote in Cookstown, Ballymena and Antrim. Magherafelt sits around 33 miles from Derry~Londonderry. Northern Ireland has many rendered and pebble-dashed homes, older solid-walled rural houses, and estates built by the Housing Executive.
Parts of County Londonderry 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.
If you're re-rendering in Magherafelt, we'll show you what adding insulation under the silicone would cost at the same time.

Northern Ireland: planning and regulations

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 Magherafelt: questions
How long does silicone render take to dry?
It's touch-dry within hours but needs dry weather above about 5°C for the first day or two to cure properly.
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 Magherafelt?
Yes — we survey and quote silicone render in Magherafelt (BT45) and nearby Cookstown, Ballymena and Antrim, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
