What we see most around BT22
The Portaferry-to-Strangford ferry sets the pace here — we plan two-visit jobs so parts never miss a sailing. We build that into every Portaferry survey, not the price sheet.
Most of the commercial work we do around Portaferry lands inside ferry-slip commercial and Meeting House Street units. We're on a first-name basis with most of the facilities teams.
On the residential side, Portaferry is dominated by coastal properties and rural cottages. Spec needs to match — what works on a coastal cottage isn't right for a new-build estate.
Portaferry sits 30 mi from Belfast and 40 mi from our Dromore yard via the A2.
