Damp-Proof Render in Strabane
Specialist waterproof and salt-resistant render systems for damp-affected and below-ground walls.
Strabane property owners come to us for damp-proof render for one of two reasons: something has failed, or the house looks tired.
Most of what we see around Strabane reflects the wider Tyrone pattern — rural stone farmhouses, brick terraces and modern estates, and driving rain and frost damage on exposed upland properties.
Local conditions bring wet with exposed upland conditions in the Sperrins, and that has a direct bearing on which systems are worth specifying. The sperrin uplands add altitude and frost to already high rainfall, which is a demanding combination for any external finish.
When damp-proof render is the right call. Choose a damp-proof system after flooding, alongside DPC works, on below-ground walls, and wherever salt contamination is destroying normal plaster.

FAQs
Damp-Proof Render in Strabane
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 before I can decorate?
Allow a minimum of several weeks for the wall to dry, longer after flooding. Decorating too early traps moisture and the finish fails.
Can salt damage come back?
Not if the source of moisture is fixed and a salt-inhibiting system was used. Recurrence almost always means the underlying cause was never resolved.
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.
