What we look for in Armagh
As well as Armagh itself, we quote in Portadown, Dungannon and Craigavon. Armagh is about 13 miles from Craigavon. 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 solid-walled houses in Armagh, the gable or the most weather-exposed wall is often the place to start.

Permissions in Northern Ireland
For Armagh homes, the council's planning office has the final say on external changes; conservation areas, flats and listed buildings need an application or consent.
External wall insulation is building work under the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012, so council building control is involved, with Technical Booklet F1 covering dwellings.
How can I tell if my walls are solid?
Measure the wall thickness at a window or door: about 225mm (9 inches) of brick usually means solid, while 260mm or more often means a cavity. On exposed brick, a pattern with bricks laid end-on (headers) every few courses points to solid construction. Stone walls are usually solid regardless of thickness. Age is a strong clue too — most homes built before the 1920s are solid-walled.

Solid wall insulation in Armagh: questions
Is solid wall insulation worth it?
For many solid-walled homes it's one of the biggest single improvements to comfort, because the walls are often the largest heat-loss area. Savings depend on the home and heating, so we don't promise a figure.
Does solid wall insulation cause condensation?
It can if detailed poorly, particularly internally. A condensation risk check for the proposed build-up and careful detailing at joists, reveals and corners avoid it.
Can I do one wall at a time?
Yes. Many owners start with the coldest or most exposed elevation, often a gable end.
