Sittingbourne: walls, weather and approvals
Surveys in Sittingbourne also cover the surrounding ME10 district and towns such as Gillingham and Chatham. Sittingbourne is about 11 miles from Maidstone. 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.
Much of Kent 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.
Extensions and new blockwork in Sittingbourne are where monocouche makes most sense.

England: planning and regulations
Planning in Sittingbourne follows England's national rules: similar-looking finishes on houses are usually permitted, while flats, commercial premises, conservation areas and streets under an Article 4 direction need an application.
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.
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 Sittingbourne: questions
How long does monocouche last?
Typically 20 years or more on a suitable wall, depending on exposure and detailing.

No — it's through-coloured. Cleaning every few years keeps it looking fresh.

It's water-resistant and sheds rain, while still allowing some vapour through.
