St George · BS5House Rendering
St George is one of Bristol's most densely populated inner suburbs, just east of the city centre. The housing stock is almost entirely Victorian terraces — many of which were originally faced in lime render that's now crumbling or covered in unsympathetic paint.
St George's housing stock runs from Victorian terraces near the park to 1960s estate homes on the outskirts. Both fail differently — Victorian terraces have lime plaster and original sand-and-cement that spalls by age; 1960s homes have thin acrylic that lets moisture through. We spec the substrate prep accordingly.
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.
St George is where Victorian Bristol meets working-class Bristol. The housing is dense — rows of terraces from the 1870s-1900s, mostly two-up two-down with rendered front elevations. Many of these were originally faced in lime render which is now failing; a significant number have been unsympathetically painted in modern masonry paint which is also failing. We work on a lot of terraces here, often coordinating across whole streets where neighbouring homeowners want consistent finishes. Listed and conservation area properties are common — Church Road and the streets around St George Park are in the St George Conservation Area, and any external alterations require consent.
If any of these sound like your property, this is the service you want.

Verified reviews from recent work.
We had Kyran from K D Plastering carry out work in our kitchen / dining area, he worked flawlessly from an early start to the end of the day to get the job done, absolutely over the moon with the end product, superb quality and a fantastic end finish. Great communication from Kyran and we will definitely use him again for any future projects.
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.
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.
