Local considerations in Chichester
Surveys in Chichester also cover the surrounding PO19 district and towns such as Bognor Regis and Havant. Chichester sits around 32 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.
Silicone suits most rendering jobs in Chichester, either on its own or over insulation.

Permissions in England
For a house in Chichester, 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.
Building control applies once more than half of a wall is insulated or re-rendered, or more than a quarter of the whole building envelope, and your written quote says how that's handled.
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 Chichester: questions
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.
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.
