Craigavon: walls, weather and approvals
We also cover Lurgan and Portadown, close to 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.
If your home in Craigavon is in a conservation area, we check the council's position on render before suggesting wood fibre EWI.

Planning and building control in Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland, permitted development is set by the 2015 Order; in Craigavon, changing a house's external appearance, and any work on flats or listed buildings, may need permission, so we check with the council.

What finish goes over wood fibre?
A lime-based or mineral render designed for the system, applied over a reinforcing base coat. Lime finishes give the softer, slightly irregular texture that suits cottages and older terraces.

Wood fibre EWI in Craigavon: questions
Is wood fibre insulation fireproof?
No — it's a timber product. It chars rather than flaming readily, but it is combustible, so it's used on low-rise buildings within a tested system and never where non-combustible materials are required.
Does wood fibre need a lime render?
It needs the render specified by the system manufacturer, which is usually lime or mineral based.
Is wood fibre worth the extra cost?
On older solid walls the main benefit is moisture safety rather than raw U-value. If the wall needs to breathe, the cheaper option can cost more later.
Do you cover Craigavon?
Yes — we survey and quote wood fibre external wall insulation in Craigavon (BT62) and nearby Lurgan, Portadown and Banbridge, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
