Before we quote in Barnes
Surveys in Barnes also cover the surrounding SW13 district and towns such as Chiswick and Putney. London's housing includes a large stock of Victorian and Edwardian solid-wall terraces, inter-war semis and post-war blocks, and conservation areas cover many streets — so planning is often the first question for external work.
Much of Greater London sits in the lower wind-driven rain exposure bands, which keeps the choice of finishes wide — though hilltop, coastal and exposed gable walls can still need a tougher specification, so we check the actual site.
For Barnes homeowners matching a new extension to an existing rendered house, we compare monocouche and silicone samples first.

England: planning and regulations
Before quoting in Barnes, 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.
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.
Can monocouche go over insulation?
No — insulation systems use a mesh-reinforced base coat and a thin-coat finish instead. If you want insulation as well as a new finish, see insulated render.

Monocouche render in Barnes: 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.
Is monocouche waterproof?
It's water-resistant and sheds rain, while still allowing some vapour through.
