We got in touch on Saturday as we urgently needed plastering finished in our bathroom. We had a very quick response and Kyran was around at 8am on Sunday to get it done. He finished in just a few hours and the standard seems very good.

Knowle's 1930s semis take monocouche cleanly — sound brickwork, no movement. The 14mm scraped monocouche in cream or pale grey suits the inter-war vernacular and looks good against the surrounding housing stock.
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.
Knowle is one of the more popular south Bristol suburbs — close to Temple Meads station (15-minute walk), within easy reach of the city centre, with a strong local community feel. The housing stock is dominated by 1930s semi-detached homes on the older streets and post-war infill (1960s bungalows and 1970s detached) on the surrounding roads. Many of the older renders here are now failing and the homes benefit hugely from a silicone re-render. We render roughly 10-15 Knowle properties each year.
