Local considerations in Swindon
We cover Swindon and nearby Chippenham, Witney and Stroud. The South West has many stone and solid-walled cottages, exposed coastal properties and a share of post-war system-built houses, including types such as the Cornish Unit.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Wiltshire: 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 Swindon are where monocouche makes most sense.

Permissions in England
Before quoting in Swindon, we check whether the property is in a conservation area, under an Article 4 direction or listed, because that decides whether changing the outside needs planning permission.
Insulating or re-rendering more than half of a wall's area brings in Part L of the Building Regulations, so building control is notified and the wall is upgraded to about 0.30 W/m²K where practical.
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 Swindon: questions
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.
Does monocouche need painting?
No — it's through-coloured. Cleaning every few years keeps it looking fresh.
