Aberdeen: walls, weather and approvals
We cover Aberdeen and nearby Inverurie, Peterhead and Montrose. North East Scotland has granite and stone-built homes, harled cottages and post-war estates, with exposed coastal settings along much of it.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire: sheltered town streets fare better than walls on high ground or facing the prevailing weather, and the render, beads and cill details are chosen with that in mind.
Extensions and new blockwork in Aberdeen are where monocouche makes most sense.

Planning and building control in Scotland
In Scotland, permitted development for external wall changes is narrower, so in Aberdeen we check with the council's planning team where the appearance changes, and always for flats, tenements and conservation areas.
Over-cladding work in Scotland often needs a building warrant from the council's building standards service, with Section 6 of the Technical Handbooks setting insulation benchmarks.
Where is monocouche used?
Monocouche is best on new or sound blockwork and brickwork with consistent suction — extensions, new builds and garden walls. It's applied thicker than thin-coat renders and scraped once firm to reveal the texture.

Monocouche render in Aberdeen: questions
Is monocouche waterproof?
It's water-resistant and sheds rain, while still allowing some vapour through.
Monocouche or silicone for an extension?
Both work on new blockwork. Silicone over a base coat costs a little more but tends to stay cleaner.
How long does monocouche last?
Typically 20 years or more on a suitable wall, depending on exposure and detailing.
