    I've got exterior insulation around the house. It's starting to show it's age and there are many patches and corners that need to be repaired.

    The render has a texture and I'm wondering how to match it when repairing? Is this just a case of adding grit/sand to a render or do some come like this? Any advice welcome.

    Have a look at this as it's not an easy or cheap job to repair monocouche.

    Thanks for the video and for mentioning monocouche. I hadn't heard about it before and it does look like that's the stuff.

    I'm not too worried if there's a slight colour mismatch, just want to tidy up the holes and make sure everything is sealed up mostly. I'd rather make sure the texture is matched - the house will likely need painting in the near future anyway.
