Before we quote in Alloa
Surveys in Alloa also cover the surrounding FK10 district and towns such as Stirling and Falkirk. Alloa is about 6 miles from Stirling. East Central Scotland mixes stone tenements and terraces with post-war council housing and harled bungalows and semis.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Forth Valley: 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 Alloa are where monocouche makes most sense.

Permissions in Scotland
For Alloa properties, flats and tenements need planning permission for external insulation, and a noticeable change of finish on a house often does too under Scottish rules.
Over-cladding work in Scotland often needs a building warrant from the council's building standards service, with Section 6 of the Technical Handbooks setting insulation benchmarks.
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 Alloa: 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.
