Emerson's Green properties are mostly modern plasterboard construction, so we see fewer full re-skims here — more often it's patch repairs after electrical work, plumbing modifications, or extensions. Two-coat skim finish ready for painting.

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.

Emerson's Green is one of Bristol's newest suburbs — most of the housing has been built since the late 1990s, much of it on the old Mangotsfield airfield site. The dominant property type is the 1990s-2000s executive detached, often 4-5 bed with double garages, finished in coloured render at the time of build. These original renders are now 20-30 years old and many need refreshing — typically with a silicone over-coat system rather than full strip-down. We also work on the newer builds around Lyde Green and the new-build developments on the edge of the suburb.
