Homes and walls in Kelso
As well as Kelso itself, we quote in Galashiels, Hawick and Peebles. It's roughly 18 miles from Kelso to Hawick, the largest town in Scottish Borders. The Scottish Borders have stone-built towns and villages, rural cottages and some post-war estates.
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.
For Kelso homeowners matching a new extension to an existing rendered house, we compare monocouche and silicone samples first.

Permissions in Scotland
For Kelso properties, flats and tenements need planning permission for external insulation, and a noticeable change of finish on a house often does too under Scottish rules.
Where a building warrant is needed for Kelso 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.
