What we look for in County Armagh
Northern Ireland has many rendered and pebble-dashed homes, older solid-walled rural houses, and estates built by the Housing Executive.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across County Armagh: 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.
We plan monocouche in County Armagh for settled weather so each elevation can be finished in one go.

Northern Ireland: planning and regulations
In Northern Ireland, permitted development is set by the Planning (General Permitted Development) Order (NI) 2015. Changing the external appearance of a house may need permission, and conservation areas, flats, commercial buildings and listed buildings need planning permission or listed building consent. Check with your council's planning office.
Insulating external walls is building work under the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012, handled by council building control, with Technical Booklet F1 covering conservation of fuel and power in dwellings.
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 County Armagh: questions
How long does monocouche last?
Typically 20 years or more on a suitable wall, depending on exposure and detailing.
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.
Do you cover all of County Armagh?
Yes. We survey and quote monocouche render across County Armagh, including Craigavon, Lurgan, Portadown, Armagh.
Do I need planning permission in Northern Ireland?
