Frenchay · BS16House Rendering
Frenchay is a leafy village suburb on the north-east edge of Bristol, dominated by large detached houses on generous plots.
Frenchay's 1930s detached homes are larger than typical Bristol semis — often 4-bed at 1,500-2,000 sq ft with bay windows, decorative brickwork, and complex rooflines. We price for full-perimeter scaffold and extra time on feature details.
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.
Frenchay is one of the most upmarket suburbs in BS16 — a leafy village suburb with large detached houses on generous plots, the Frome Valley running through, and the Bristol-Bath cycle path on the doorstep. The housing is dominated by 1950s-60s executive detached (often 1,500-2,500 sq ft), some older period detached, and the modern new-build activity as the old Frenchay Hospital site has been redeveloped. We work on several Frenchay properties each year — typically large detached homes needing full re-rendering or EWI.
If any of these sound like your property, this is the service you want.

Bare brickwork that's hard to clean and looks dated

Verified reviews from recent work.
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.
I have used Kyran on a number of projects now across Bristol from patching plaster to full plastering jobs and rendering. All ways on time and work is all was first class. Would highly recommend
Kyran and his team did an excellent job rendering my house, with attention to detail. I would definitely use them again.
