What we look for in Barry
We cover Barry and nearby Penarth, Cardiff and Caerphilly. It's roughly 7 miles from Barry to Cardiff, the largest town in South Glamorgan. South Wales has long runs of solid-wall valley terraces, Victorian and Edwardian town housing and post-war council estates.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across South Glamorgan: 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 Barry homeowners matching a new extension to an existing rendered house, we compare monocouche and silicone samples first.

Planning and building control in Wales
Householder rules in Wales are similar to England's: in Barry, a similar-looking finish on a house is often permitted, but conservation areas, flats and listed buildings need permission or consent.
Building control in Wales applies to most insulation and re-rendering jobs of this size; the quote states who submits the notice.
Can monocouche go over insulation?
No — insulation systems use a mesh-reinforced base coat and a thin-coat finish instead. If you want insulation as well as a new finish, see insulated render.

Monocouche render in Barry: questions
Is monocouche waterproof?
It's water-resistant and sheds rain, while still allowing some vapour through.
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.
