Fishponds is a long suburb running along the Frome Valley between Eastville and Downend. The western end (closer to the city centre) has the older 1930s semis on streets like Stapleton Road and the Frome Valley Road, while the eastern end has the larger post-war council estates — particularly the estates around the old Stapleton Road hospital and the new-build infill. Many of the council properties were re-rendered in the 1990s with acrylic systems that are now failing. We work on a lot of these — typically strip and re-render with a BBA-approved silicone system.
