Frenchay's 1930s detached homes take monocouche cleanly — solid brickwork, no movement. The 14mm scraped monocouche in cream or pale grey suits the inter-war vernacular and the larger elevations of these properties.
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.
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.

Verified reviews from recent work.
★★★★★
Kyran quoted me for plastering work, his prices were competitive. He and Kyle carried out the work, I'm very pleased with the finish and will be booking them in again soon to complete the rest of my house. They were punctual, tidy and friendly.
★★★★★
I had a leak through my middle landing ceiling, needed to be taken down, re-insulated, reboarded and plastered. The time frame and price was agreed and the work was carried out within the time frame and to an excellent standard.
