What we look for in Dungannon
As well as Dungannon itself, we quote in Cookstown, Armagh and Portadown. It's roughly 22 miles from Dungannon to Omagh, the largest town in County Tyrone. 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 Tyrone: 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 period homes in Dungannon, the survey looks closely at existing lime mortars and any cement patching that may trap moisture.

Approvals in Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland, permitted development is set by the 2015 Order; in Dungannon, changing a house's external appearance, and any work on flats or listed buildings, may need permission, so we check with the council.
Building control applies to insulation and major re-rendering in Northern Ireland, and the work is signed off by the council.
What about listed buildings and conservation areas?
EWI on a listed building needs listed building consent and is often refused where the outside appearance matters. In conservation areas, rendering or cladding a house normally needs planning permission. Wood fibre and lime are more likely to be acceptable than foam and acrylic, but the council decides. We check before quoting.

Wood fibre EWI in Dungannon: questions
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.
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 Dungannon?
Yes — we survey and quote wood fibre external wall insulation in Dungannon (BT71) and nearby Cookstown, Armagh and Portadown, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
