Portadown, Armagh
Lime Render in Portadown
Breathable hydraulic and hot-mixed lime render for period, listed and solid-wall properties.
Portadown property owners come to us for lime 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.
Local conditions bring wet with moderate inland exposure, and that has a direct bearing on which systems are worth specifying. Rural solid-wall stock across the county needs breathable systems, while the towns are conventional dash-rendered brick and block.
When lime render is the right call. Choose lime for any pre-1919, listed, stone, cob or solid-wall property — and wherever a conservation officer is involved.

FAQs
Lime Render in Portadown
Can lime render be painted?
Only with a compatible breathable coating — limewash, silicate mineral paint or clay paint. Standard masonry paint seals the surface and defeats the purpose.
How much does rendering cost?
It is priced by the square metre and depends on the system, the condition of the walls and access. Our guide-price tool gives an indicative range in about a minute, and the survey turns that into a fixed written quote.
Do you offer a guarantee?
Yes. Every job carries our workmanship guarantee, and where a full manufacturer-specified system is installed you also get the system warranty on top.
What time of year is best for rendering?
Spring through autumn is ideal. Render should not be applied in frost or in very hot direct sun, so winter work needs protection and settled conditions.
Can you render over existing render?
Sometimes, if the existing coat is completely sound and well-bonded. We hammer-test it first. Anything hollow has to come off, because covering failure just hides it.
