Through-Colour Render in Carrickfergus
Pigmented render where the colour runs the full depth of the coat — no painting, no repainting.
We carry out through-colour render across Carrickfergus and the surrounding Antrim area throughout the year.
The prevailing picture in Antrim is Victorian brick terraces, harled cottages and postwar estates. That means driving rain and dash render failure on exposed elevations comes up more here than almost anywhere else.
The area sees wet with strong Atlantic and Irish Sea exposure, which is the single biggest factor in how long any render lasts here. Dash render is close to universal on northern irish housing, and matching existing dash is the most common requirement on repair work.
When through-colour render is the right call. Choose through-colour anywhere you want to eliminate the repainting cycle — which on most houses is the largest long-term cost of rendering.

FAQs
Through-Colour Render in Carrickfergus
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.
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.
