Render Painting & Coating in Antrim
Breathable masonry coatings and full-system paint applications over existing render.
Render Painting & Coating in Antrim is work we take on regularly, and the Antrim housing stock is a big part of why.
Most of what we see around Antrim reflects the wider Antrim pattern — Victorian brick terraces, harled cottages and postwar estates, and driving rain and dash render failure on exposed elevations. Local conditions bring wet with strong Atlantic and Irish Sea exposure, and that has a direct bearing on which systems are worth specifying.
Local factor. Dash render is close to universal on northern irish housing, and matching existing dash is the most common requirement on repair work.
Is render painting & coating right for a Antrim property?
Choose painting when the render is structurally sound and you want a colour change or refresh without the cost of a full re-render.
That decision gets made at the survey, not on the phone. We will tell you plainly if a different system would serve the building better — including when a cheaper one would.

FAQs
Render Painting & Coating in Antrim — questions
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.
Can you paint over silicone render?
You can, but it removes the self-cleaning and through-colour benefits you paid for and commits you to a repainting cycle. We usually advise cleaning instead.
How long does masonry paint last?
A good breathable system on properly prepared render typically gives ten to fifteen years. Cheap paint on unprepared render can start failing within two.
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.
