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.

Keynsham
Keynsham sits halfway between Bristol and Bath, and the housing reflects both: a small Georgian and Victorian core near the High Street, then substantial inter-war and post-war estates spreading out from it. We work here regularly from Hanham, twenty minutes down the A4175.

Keynsham's inter-war and post-war semis take monocouche cleanly — sound blockwork, no movement. The 14mm scraped monocouche in cream or pale grey suits the inter-war vernacular, and K Rend or Weber lead times are short via the Bristol-area stockists.
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.
Keynsham is a market town in Bath and North East Somerset, roughly equidistant between Bristol and Bath, and the housing stock spans both traditions. Around the High Street and Temple Street there is a modest Georgian and Victorian core, some of it stone-built and some in conservation area. Beyond that the town is dominated by inter-war semi-detached housing and post-war estates on the Chandag, Park Estate and Queens Road sides, with a growing amount of modern development on the old Cadbury's factory site and the edges of the town. That means the work splits cleanly: breathable, sympathetic systems on the older core, and standard silicone or monocouche on the far larger inter-war and post-war stock, much of which still carries original pebbledash or sand-and-cement that is now at end of life.

Verified reviews from recent work.
★★★★☆
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

I needed my ceiling plastered, I was on a budget and Kyran was very reasonably priced, he was professional, clean and tidy. He made adjustments for my disabled daughter.
