Homes and walls in Galashiels

Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Scottish Borders: 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 Galashiels for settled weather so each elevation can be finished in one go.

Permissions in Scotland
Scottish householder rules mean many Galashiels jobs that change the outside of a house need a planning application; we confirm the position before quoting.
Where a building warrant is needed for Galashiels work, it's obtained before installation starts, and the quote says who arranges it.
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 Galashiels: questions
Is monocouche waterproof?
It's water-resistant and sheds rain, while still allowing some vapour through.
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.
Does monocouche need painting?
No — it's through-coloured. Cleaning every few years keeps it looking fresh.
Do you cover Galashiels?
Yes — we survey and quote monocouche render in Galashiels (TD1) and nearby Hawick, Kelso and Peebles, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
