Knowle is one of the more popular south Bristol suburbs — close to Temple Meads station (15-minute walk), within easy reach of the city centre, with a strong local community feel. The housing stock is dominated by 1930s semi-detached homes on the older streets and post-war infill (1960s bungalows and 1970s detached) on the surrounding roads. Many of the older renders here are now failing and the homes benefit hugely from a silicone re-render. We render roughly 10-15 Knowle properties each year.

Verified reviews from work completed in Knowle.
★★★★★
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.
