Londonderry
Rendering in Magherafelt
Render, repair, pebbledash removal and external wall insulation for Magherafelt homes — with a free survey before any price is quoted.
Londonderry is characterised by Victorian terraces, harled cottages and exposed north-coast housing, with driving rain and salt on north-coast properties the recurring theme on the properties we survey.
Local conditions bring wet with severe Atlantic exposure on the north coast, and that has a direct bearing on which systems are worth specifying. The north coast around portstewart takes direct atlantic weather, and dash finishes substantially outperform smooth render there.
How we approach a job in Magherafelt
Every Magherafelt enquiry starts the same way: we come out, tap-test the existing coat, check the substrate behind it and look for the reason anything has failed. Blown render is nearly always a symptom — of a leaking gutter, a bridged damp course, a cracked sill or an over-strong mix — and re-rendering over an unresolved cause simply buys a couple of years.
You get a written, itemised quotation after the survey, with the specification named so you can compare like for like.

FAQs
Rendering in Magherafelt — common questions
Do you take a deposit?
For most domestic jobs we take a deposit to cover materials and scaffold, with the balance on completion. Terms are set out clearly in the written quote.
Can you match my existing render?
Usually, yes. We colour and texture match as closely as we can, though weathered render never matches a fresh batch exactly — we will be honest about how visible a patch will be.
How long does a rendering job take?
A typical three-bedroom semi is usually one to two weeks on site including scaffold, preparation, application and finishing. Weather, wall condition and the system chosen all move that.
Do I need planning permission to render my house?
Usually not on a standard house, but you will if the property is listed, in a conservation area, or if rendering would significantly change its appearance. We flag it at survey.
Will you need scaffolding?
For anything above single storey, yes — it is safer and produces a better finish than working off ladders or towers. Scaffold is included and itemised in the quote.
How long before I can paint new render?
Through-coloured systems need no painting at all. Sand and cement should cure for around 28 days before masonry paint goes anywhere near it.
