Before we quote in Penarth
We cover Penarth and nearby Cardiff, Barry and Caerphilly. Penarth is about 3 miles from Cardiff. 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.
Extensions and new blockwork in Penarth are where monocouche makes most sense.

Approvals in Wales
Householder rules in Wales are similar to England's: in Penarth, a similar-looking finish on a house is often permitted, but conservation areas, flats and listed buildings need permission or consent.
In Wales, insulating or re-rendering more than half of a wall's area is treated as renovating a thermal element under Approved Document L (Wales), so building control is involved before work starts.
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 Penarth: 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.
How long does monocouche last?
Typically 20 years or more on a suitable wall, depending on exposure and detailing.
