Homes and walls in Horsham
We cover Horsham and nearby Crawley, Horley and Haywards Heath. Horsham sits around 7 miles from Crawley. Homes across the South East range from inter-war semis and post-war estates, which are mostly cavity-walled, to older solid-walled cottages and Victorian town terraces.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across West Sussex: 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 Horsham for settled weather so each elevation can be finished in one go.

Approvals in England
Planning in Horsham follows England's national rules: similar-looking finishes on houses are usually permitted, while flats, commercial premises, conservation areas and streets under an Article 4 direction need an application.
If the work covers more than half of a wall, or a quarter of the building's whole envelope, it counts as renovating a thermal element, with a target of about 0.30 W/m²K where feasible.
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.
