Earley: walls, weather and approvals
As well as Earley itself, we quote in Reading, Wokingham and Crowthorne. It's roughly 3 miles from Earley to Reading, the largest town in Berkshire. Homes across the South East range from inter-war semis and post-war estates, which are mostly cavity-walled, to older solid-walled cottages and Victorian town terraces.
Much of Berkshire sits in the lower wind-driven rain exposure bands, which keeps the choice of finishes wide — though hilltop, coastal and exposed gable walls can still need a tougher specification, so we check the actual site.
We plan monocouche in Earley for settled weather so each elevation can be finished in one go.

Permissions in England
Planning in Earley follows England's national rules: similar-looking finishes on houses are usually permitted, while flats, commercial premises, conservation areas and streets under an Article 4 direction need an application.
If the work covers more than half of a wall, or a quarter of the building's whole envelope, it counts as renovating a thermal element, with a target of about 0.30 W/m²K where feasible.
Can monocouche go over insulation?
No — insulation systems use a mesh-reinforced base coat and a thin-coat finish instead. If you want insulation as well as a new finish, see insulated render.

Monocouche render in Earley: 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.
Is monocouche waterproof?
It's water-resistant and sheds rain, while still allowing some vapour through.
How long does monocouche last?
Typically 20 years or more on a suitable wall, depending on exposure and detailing.
