Ayr: walls, weather and approvals
Surveys in Ayr also cover the surrounding KA7 district and towns such as Irvine and Kilmarnock. Ayr is about 12 miles from Kilmarnock. South West Scotland has stone and harled houses, coastal towns and post-war council housing.
Parts of Ayrshire fall in the higher wind-driven rain exposure bands, especially coastal and upland sites, so render specification, movement joints and detailing at cills, verges and the base of the wall matter more than usual.
Silicone suits most rendering jobs in Ayr, either on its own or over insulation.

Planning and building control in Scotland
Scottish householder rules mean many Ayr jobs that change the outside of a house need a planning application; we confirm the position before quoting.
Where a building warrant is needed for Ayr work, it's obtained before installation starts, and the quote says who arranges it.
Silicone or monocouche?
Monocouche is a thicker single-coat cement render used mainly on new blockwork. Silicone is thinner, more flexible and usually more resistant to staining, and it's the finish used over insulation. On older or mixed walls, silicone over a mesh-reinforced base coat is generally the safer choice.

Silicone render in Ayr: questions
Does silicone render crack?
The mesh-reinforced base coat and the render's flexibility make cracking much less likely than with sand and cement, but structural movement in the wall can still show through.
Can silicone render go over old render?
If the old render is sound and well bonded, often yes after cleaning and priming. Hollow or cracked areas are cut out and repaired first.
How long does silicone render take to dry?
It's touch-dry within hours but needs dry weather above about 5°C for the first day or two to cure properly.
