What we look for in Hamilton
As well as Hamilton itself, we quote in Motherwell, Bellshill and Wishaw. Hamilton sits around 6 miles from East Kilbride. West Central Scotland has sandstone tenements, interwar and post-war council housing including no-fines and other system-built types, and many harled (roughcast) houses.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Lanarkshire: 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 Hamilton for settled weather so each elevation can be finished in one go.

Scotland: planning and regulations
In Scotland, permitted development for external wall changes is narrower, so in Hamilton we check with the council's planning team where the appearance changes, and always for flats, tenements and conservation areas.
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.
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 Hamilton: questions
Does monocouche need painting?
No — it's through-coloured. Cleaning every few years keeps it looking fresh.
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.
