Portadown, Armagh
Acrylic Render in Portadown
Tough, flexible acrylic thin-coat render with excellent colour retention and impact resistance.
Portadown property owners come to us for acrylic render for one of two reasons: something has failed, or the house looks tired.
Armagh is characterised by brick and stone terraces, rural cottages and modern estates, with dash render repair and damp in solid-wall rural properties the recurring theme on the properties we survey.
The area sees wet with moderate inland exposure, which is the single biggest factor in how long any render lasts here. Rural solid-wall stock across the county needs breathable systems, while the towns are conventional dash-rendered brick and block.
When acrylic render is the right call. Choose acrylic where impact resistance and colour retention matter more than maximum breathability — cavity walls, boards and EWI rather than solid stone.

FAQs
Acrylic Render in Portadown
How thick is acrylic render?
The decorative topcoat is 1.5mm or 2mm depending on grain size, applied over a reinforced basecoat of around 6mm.
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.
