What we look for in Hove
As well as Hove itself, we quote in Brighton, Portslade and Burgess Hill. 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.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across East Sussex: 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 Hove are where monocouche makes most sense.

Permissions in England
For a house in Hove, external insulation or render is often permitted development if it looks similar to the existing walls; conservation areas, flats, commercial buildings and listed buildings need permission or consent, so we check your address first.
Building control applies once more than half of a wall is insulated or re-rendered, or more than a quarter of the whole building envelope, and your written quote says how that's handled.
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 Hove: 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.
Does monocouche need painting?
No — it's through-coloured. Cleaning every few years keeps it looking fresh.
Do you cover Hove?
Yes — we survey and quote monocouche render in Hove (BN3) and nearby Brighton, Portslade and Burgess Hill, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
