Cookstown, Tyrone
Lime Render in Cookstown
Breathable hydraulic and hot-mixed lime render for period, listed and solid-wall properties.
Getting lime render right in Cookstown depends far more on the substrate and the exposure than on the product name.
Tyrone is characterised by rural stone farmhouses, brick terraces and modern estates, with driving rain and frost damage on exposed upland properties the recurring theme on the properties we survey.
With wet with exposed upland conditions in the Sperrins, specification matters more in this part of the country than a national price list suggests. The sperrin uplands add altitude and frost to already high rainfall, which is a demanding combination for any external finish.
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 Cookstown
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.
Are you insured?
Yes — full public liability cover, and we can send the certificate before we start. We are happy to provide RAMS for commercial and contractor work.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, with teams across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. If we are not the right firm for your location we will tell you rather than waste your time.
