Before we quote in Bideford
As well as Bideford itself, we quote in Barnstaple, Exeter and Newton Abbot. Bideford sits around 45 miles from Plymouth. The South West has many stone and solid-walled cottages, exposed coastal properties and a share of post-war system-built houses, including types such as the Cornish Unit.
Parts of Devon 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.
We plan monocouche in Bideford for settled weather so each elevation can be finished in one go.

Approvals in England
Before quoting in Bideford, we check whether the property is in a conservation area, under an Article 4 direction or listed, because that decides whether changing the outside needs planning permission.
Insulating or re-rendering more than half of a wall's area brings in Part L of the Building Regulations, so building control is notified and the wall is upgraded to about 0.30 W/m²K where practical.
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 Bideford: 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.
How long does monocouche last?
Typically 20 years or more on a suitable wall, depending on exposure and detailing.
Is monocouche waterproof?
It's water-resistant and sheds rain, while still allowing some vapour through.
