What we look for in Lurgan
As well as Lurgan itself, we quote in Craigavon, Portadown and Banbridge. Lurgan is about 2 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.
For older stone and early brick properties in Lurgan, we look at a wood fibre and lime build-up first.

Approvals 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.
Council building control in Northern Ireland checks insulation work of this kind; the quote says how the application is handled.
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 Lurgan: questions
Does wood fibre need a lime render?
It needs the render specified by the system manufacturer, which is usually lime or mineral based.
Can wood fibre go on a stone wall?
Yes, after levelling. Rubble stone is often uneven, so a levelling coat or adapted fixing method is used first.
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.
Do you cover Lurgan?
Yes — we survey and quote wood fibre external wall insulation in Lurgan (BT66) and nearby Craigavon, Portadown and Banbridge, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
