Speedwell's 1970s estate homes have original pebbledash that's heavy and fails piecemeal. Strip-back to substrate, full mesh reinforcement, silicone re-render is the standard fix — typically 7-10 days for a full detached house.
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.
Speedwell is one of the more affordable east Bristol suburbs, sitting between Fishponds and the M32. The housing stock is dominated by 1930s semis on the older streets and post-war estate homes on the streets built in the 1950s-70s. Many of the older renders here are now failing and the homes benefit hugely from a through-colour monocouche or silicone re-render — instant kerb-appeal uplift without the maintenance burden of paint. We render more Speedwell properties per year than you'd expect, given the size of the suburb.

What Bristol & Bath customers say
Verified reviews from recent work.
Great service, the team just got on with the works and completed the silicone rendering on our garage with no fuss. The job looks great and has transformed the look of the garage. Would use again!
Kyran responded quickly to my request for a quote, and then followed up with a decent job at my flat. He kept me in the picture, and cleaned up after he finished. I would definitely recommend Kyran for any plastering & rendering work.
