Emerson's Green is one of Bristol's newest suburbs — most of the housing has been built since the late 1990s, much of it on the old Mangotsfield airfield site. The dominant property type is the 1990s-2000s executive detached, often 4-5 bed with double garages, finished in coloured render at the time of build. These original renders are now 20-30 years old and many need refreshing — typically with a silicone over-coat system rather than full strip-down. We also work on the newer builds around Lyde Green and the new-build developments on the edge of the suburb.
