We recently hired KD Rendering to complete a silicone render project for us in Truro, and we couldn't be happier with the result. The client was absolutely over the moon with the finished job. From start to finish, Kyran and his team were highly professional, reliable, and a pleasure to work with. Their attention to detail and the quality of their workmanship were exceptional, delivering a flawless finish that exceeded expectations.

Fishponds
Fishponds sits along the Frome Valley in east Bristol, with a mix of 1930s semis on the older streets and larger post-war council estates towards the edges.

Fishponds has several streets of 1960s-70s homes with original pebbledash that needs removing before any re-render. The pebble's heavy and the underlying sand-and-cement is often compromised — full mechanical strip, debris removal in a grab lorry, then a clean render system.
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.
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.

What Bristol & Bath customers say
Verified reviews from recent work.
We needed our house re-rendered due to cracks and crumbling on our current render. Kyran and his team did a great job, they are hard working lads. The rubbish was all cleared promptly aswell. Any niggling issues before completion were resolved without any problems. We love the fresh new look on our house.
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. He tidied up after himself too! We were pleased with the price considering the last minute nature of the work.
