We hired Kyran and his team to skim 3 ceilings, getting rid of artex ceilings and are really pleased with the result, the price was reasonable and communication great.

The 1930s semis on Bath Road take monocouche cleanly — brickwork's solid, no movement, and a 14mm scraped monocouche in cream or grey gives a clean modern finish that suits the Conservation Area aesthetics without falling foul of planning.
Monocouche is a through-colour mineral render — limestone aggregate, Portland cement, pigments, and additives — applied in a single 12-18mm coat and then scraped back to expose the aggregate for a textured finish. The colour goes all the way through, so unlike paint there's no top coat to maintain. Monocouche is harder-wearing than silicone (more impact-resistant, great for parking areas and alleyways), cheaper, and gives a contemporary scraped or dragged finish that's popular on modern Bristol homes. We install Weber, K Rend and Parex monocouche across Bristol. Every install carries a 25-year manufacturer warranty and a fixed written quote after a free site visit.
Brislington is a long ribbon suburb running along the A4 Bath Road from Totterdown to the A4174 ring road. The housing stock varies dramatically by elevation. The lower parts around Sandy Park Road and the Bath Road have Victorian terraces and 1930s semis — these are often the trickier renders because of the narrow streets and limited access for scaffold. The mid-elevation residential streets (Brislington Hill, Eagle Road, Wick Road) have the bulk of the 1950s-70s semis with original pebbledash that's now failing. The upper parts around Broomhill and the A4174 have 1970s-90s detached and modern infill. The Paintworks riverside development has added a clutch of modern apartments and converted warehouse buildings that occasionally need sympathetic render repairs.

Kyle was very skilled at skimming our walls and we are pleased with the result. We did need to tidy up a bit at the end, but this was acceptable. Thanks KD
