Homes and walls in Cheltenham
We also cover Gloucester and Stroud, close to Cheltenham. It's roughly 7 miles from Cheltenham to Gloucester, the largest town in Gloucestershire. 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.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Gloucestershire: 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 Cheltenham for settled weather so each elevation can be finished in one go.

England: planning and regulations
For a house in Cheltenham, 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.
Where is monocouche used?
Monocouche is best on new or sound blockwork and brickwork with consistent suction — extensions, new builds and garden walls. It's applied thicker than thin-coat renders and scraped once firm to reveal the texture.

Monocouche render in Cheltenham: 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.
Does monocouche need painting?
No — it's through-coloured. Cleaning every few years keeps it looking fresh.
Do you cover Cheltenham?
