Garden & Boundary Walls in Newtownabbey
Rendering garden, boundary and retaining walls with correct coping and weathering detail.
Garden & Boundary Walls in Newtownabbey is work we take on regularly, and the Antrim housing stock is a big part of why.
Antrim is characterised by Victorian brick terraces, harled cottages and postwar estates, with driving rain and dash render failure on exposed elevations the recurring theme on the properties we survey.
Local conditions bring wet with strong Atlantic and Irish Sea exposure, and that has a direct bearing on which systems are worth specifying. Dash render is close to universal on northern irish housing, and matching existing dash is the most common requirement on repair work.
When garden & boundary walls is the right call. Choose this for boundary, garden and retaining walls where you want the finish to match the house and actually survive the weather.

FAQs
Garden & Boundary Walls in Newtownabbey
Do retaining walls need special treatment?
Yes. Retaining walls hold back saturated ground, so drainage behind the wall must be working before rendering. Otherwise trapped water pushes the render off.
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.
