Steve - thanks for the text - I have done a fair bt of TV work - a recent one for SKY called Worlds Most Extreme Homes has a link below - it gives you an idea of the structure Martello Tower No 23, Dymchurch, World's Most Extreme Homes - YouTube Speak soon

I can assure you Steve I have a lot more experience than you of English Heritage and their laws/guidelines. I have been in the High Court twice for being in breach of these! Very briefly it took over 5 years to get permission to even live in the tower. During this time I broke a few of their...

Hi Mark - call me on 07851395248 should you still be interested - thanks

Guys - to all of you thanks for the advice - my mobile number is 07851395248 for anyone interested in quoting for the job. I am happy to remove existing render - I know this is the bit you guys hate!! PS - to clear up the confusion as some of you seem to think MONOCOUCHE is not accepted by...

Structure is brick - 14 feet thick sea-side and 6 feet thick land-side - thanks for your advice

Guys - bit mixed up with the different types of Monocouche available. I live in a circular fortress on the beach in south east Kent. It requires approx 400m sq of rendering. Scaffolding supplied. Parex Monocouche seems best from all your comments. Any advice welcome and if there's anyone out...
