Bath's city centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, dominated by Georgian terraces around the Royal Crescent, the Circus, and Bath Street down to Pulteney Bridge. Many of these properties are listed and require sympathetic render systems — we work with lime-compatible silicones and breathable finishes that preserve the building's character. The Bath stone itself is the dominant aesthetic, but rendered elevations are common on the rear and side elevations of Georgian terraces, and the Bath stone walls themselves need lime pointing and sometimes lime render repairs.

What Bath homeowners say

Verified reviews from recent work across Bristol and Bath.

★★★★★

We got in touch on Saturday as we urgently needed plastering finished in our bathroom. We had a very quick response and Kyran was around at 8am on Sunday to get it done. He finished in just a few hours and the standard seems very good.

Kyran quoted me for plastering work, his prices were competitive. He and Kyle carried out the work, I'm very pleased with the finish and will be booking them in again soon to complete the rest of my house. They were punctual, tidy and friendly.
