Craigavon, Armagh
Chimney Rendering in Craigavon
Rendering, repointing and weatherproofing chimney stacks — the most exposed masonry on any house.
We carry out chimney rendering across Craigavon and the surrounding Armagh area throughout the year.
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 chimney rendering is the right call. Choose chimney rendering where a stack is spalling, the pointing has failed, or damp is showing in upstairs rooms near a chimney breast.

FAQs
Chimney Rendering in Craigavon
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.
Should a chimney be rendered or repointed?
Repointing suits a stack in reasonable condition. Rendering is better where brickwork has spalled or is badly weathered, as it gives a continuous weatherproof skin.
Do you need scaffolding for chimney work?
Usually yes, for safe access and to work properly. On some stacks a roof ladder and tower arrangement is sufficient — we confirm at survey.
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.
