We hired Kyran and his team to skim 3 ceilings, getting rid of artex ceilings and are really pleased with the result, the price was reasonable and communication great.

Brislington Hill's 1970s pebbledash semis typically fail at the south-west corner where driving rain hits hardest. We see a lot of single-elevation repairs on this side of Bristol where the substrate's still good — a strip-back, mesh base, and silicone re-render usually outlasts the original by 25+ years.
External wall rendering is the catch-all term for any render applied to the outside of a property. Whether you need a single elevation repaired, a complete re-render, or a specific system for a particular substrate, we cover it. Our most-requested work in Bristol is full re-rendering of 1930s-1980s properties where the original sand-and-cement or pebbledash has failed. But we also do smaller jobs — a single elevation that's taken the worst of the weather, a porch or extension that needs bringing in line, or a commercial unit that needs refreshing. Every quote is fixed and written, every project carries a 10-year warranty, and we own our own scaffold to keep your costs down.
Brislington is a long ribbon suburb running along the A4 Bath Road from Totterdown to the A4174 ring road. The housing stock varies dramatically by elevation. The lower parts around Sandy Park Road and the Bath Road have Victorian terraces and 1930s semis — these are often the trickier renders because of the narrow streets and limited access for scaffold. The mid-elevation residential streets (Brislington Hill, Eagle Road, Wick Road) have the bulk of the 1950s-70s semis with original pebbledash that's now failing. The upper parts around Broomhill and the A4174 have 1970s-90s detached and modern infill. The Paintworks riverside development has added a clutch of modern apartments and converted warehouse buildings that occasionally need sympathetic render repairs.

Verified reviews from recent work.
Kyle was very skilled at skimming our walls and we are pleased with the result. We did need to tidy up a bit at the end, but this was acceptable. Thanks KD
