What we look for in Dunoon
As well as Dunoon itself, we quote in Greenock, Helensburgh and Clydebank. It's roughly 8 miles from Dunoon to Helensburgh, the largest town in Argyll and Bute. The Highlands and Islands have many exposed stone and harled homes, timber-framed houses and scattered rural properties.
Parts of Argyll and Bute fall in the higher wind-driven rain exposure bands, especially coastal and upland sites, so render specification, movement joints and detailing at cills, verges and the base of the wall matter more than usual.
For Dunoon homeowners matching a new extension to an existing rendered house, we compare monocouche and silicone samples first.

Scotland: planning and regulations
In Scotland, permitted development for external wall changes is narrower, so in Dunoon we check with the council's planning team where the appearance changes, and always for flats, tenements and conservation areas.
Scotland's building standards cover changes to external wall construction; we check whether your job in Dunoon needs a warrant.
Why does monocouche sometimes look patchy?
Colour variation (often called shading) can appear if it's applied in poor weather, on walls with uneven suction, or in sections on different days. Working an elevation in one go in suitable conditions keeps the colour even.

Monocouche render in Dunoon: questions
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.
Does monocouche need painting?
No — it's through-coloured. Cleaning every few years keeps it looking fresh.
Is monocouche waterproof?
It's water-resistant and sheds rain, while still allowing some vapour through.
