Plastering in
Brislington

Brislington's Victorian terraces typically have lime plaster on lath walls — it's soft, breathable, and pulls away from the lath in chunks rather than cracking clean. We either patch with lime plaster (matching the original) or board-and-skim for a modern finish, depending on whether the customer wants to preserve breathability.

Internal plastering is one of our most-requested services across Bristol. The most common jobs are full-house re-skims after rewiring or plumbing work, plastering of new extensions and loft conversions, and patching repairs after damp treatment or electrical work. We work with British Gypsum, Knauf and Thistle systems — including their most modern one-coat and airless spray products. Whether you need a smooth finish ready for painting, a tyrolean or textured finish, or a backing plaster for tiling, we have the team and the systems. Every quote is fixed and written, every project is scheduled end-to-end, and we provide a 5-year workmanship warranty on all internal plastering.

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.
