Kyran was very professional and easy to communicate with throughout the process. He did a great job with the garage render, delivering exactly what I was looking for. I'd happily recommend him and would work with him again.

Frenchay's 1930s detached homes have plaster on lath ceilings throughout — when the lath fails (often 80+ years in), the ceiling starts to sag. We board over the existing ceiling and skim, which gives a flat modern ceiling 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.
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.
★★★★★
Great finish on our front rendering. Despite poor weather, work was arranged the quickest possible and finished in a reasonable period - would recommend. Other companies did not quote in person or follow up - well done Kyran and co!
★★★★★
Kyran organised his team well and got me pencilled in with my emergency repair the same day I asked. Professionally done and helped educate me on the next steps in decorating.
