Downend is one of our most-requested areas for full re-renders, with the 1930s-50s semis gradually all coming due for renewal as their original render fails. We typically work one street at a time as neighbours see each other's houses being done and book in.
Most Bristol houses built before 2000 were finished in some form of render — pebbledash, tyrolean, sand-and-cement, or roughcast. After 20-40 years, that render is reaching the end of its useful life, and the symptoms are familiar: blown patches, cracking along stress points, paint that won't stay on, and damp getting into the wall. A full house render with a modern system — monocouche, silicone, or acrylic — fixes all of these in one go and adds 25+ years of maintenance-free life. We work on every kind of Bristol property, from 1930s semis in Hanham to Victorian terraces in St George and modern detached homes in Emerson's Green. Every project starts with a free site visit and ends with a 10-year warranty.
Downend is one of the more upmarket South Gloucestershire suburbs — leafy streets, larger detached properties, and the consistently high-performing Downend School feeding into it. The housing stock is dominated by post-war detached homes on the estates (built 1955-1975) which were originally finished in 1970s pebbledash that's now failing. These homes are typically 1,200-1,800 sq ft and represent excellent candidates for a full silicone re-render or EWI upgrade. The newer executive detached homes (1990s-2000s) are also increasingly needing re-rendering as their original acrylic systems age out.

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.
