Plastering in
Kingswood

Kingswood's older housing stock has plaster on lath ceilings and walls — when the lath fails, you get cracking along the joints and the plaster sounds hollow when tapped. We board over the existing ceiling and skim, which is faster and gives a better finish than patch repairs.

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.

Kingswood is technically in South Gloucestershire but functions as a Bristol suburb. The high street is one of the longest local high streets in the Bristol area, and the residential streets radiating out from it are where most of our work happens. The 1930s semis are the dominant property type — larger and more imposing than Hanham's, often with bay windows, multiple chimney stacks, and original sand-and-cement render that's now well past its sell-by date. The newer estates on the edges (around Soundwell, Staple Hill and the Cadbury Heath border) have 1960s-80s detached and semi-detached, with pebbledash that needs stripping. We render roughly 15-20 Kingswood properties a year.
