Local considerations in Farnborough
We cover Farnborough and nearby Camberley, Aldershot and Fleet. It's roughly 39 miles from Farnborough to Southampton, the largest town in Hampshire. 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 Hampshire: 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.
On tree-shaded or north-facing walls in Farnborough, silicone's water repellence helps it stay cleaner for longer.

Permissions in England
For a house in Farnborough, external insulation or render is often permitted development if it looks similar to the existing walls; conservation areas, flats, commercial buildings and listed buildings need permission or consent, so we check your address first.
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.
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 Farnborough: questions
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.
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.
