Before we quote in Bow
Surveys in Bow also cover the surrounding E3 district and towns such as Stratford and Canning Town. 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.
We plan monocouche in Bow for settled weather so each elevation can be finished in one go.

Permissions in England
For a house in Bow, 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.
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.
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 Bow: questions
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.
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.
Do you cover Bow?
