Plastering & rendering in
Redland

Redland is large Victorian and Edwardian stock: bay-fronted terraces, semi-detached villas and a lot of flat conversions. Most of what we do here is internal — re-skims after leaks, rewiring and conversions — alongside render repair on the rear elevations.

Redland sits between Clifton and Bishopston, and the housing is overwhelmingly late-Victorian and Edwardian: bay-fronted terraces on the streets off Redland Road, larger semi-detached and detached villas towards Redland Green, and a high proportion of houses subdivided into flats. That subdivision shapes the work. A great deal of what we are called to is internal and often urgent — a leak through a landing ceiling, a re-skim after rewiring, making good after a conversion — rather than full-property external rendering. Where external work does come up it tends to be rear elevations and returns, which on these houses are frequently rendered while the front is left as facing brick or stone. Parts of Redland fall inside conservation areas, and the stock is solid-wall throughout, so breathability matters on any external system.

Pricing notes

Standard pricing on internal work. External work on the period stock needs breathable systems on solid walls, and parts of Redland sit inside a conservation area — we confirm at survey rather than assuming.

Who lives here

Professional households and families in the larger houses, with a substantial rental market in the flat conversions and student households closer to the university.

Top company, needed my bathroom done ASAP and KD managed to do an incredible job despite the short notice and tight schedule, their price was alot more competitive than the other 3 quotes I received, this is the company you need to use for all of your plastering needs.
