Plastering in
Stapleton

Stapleton retains a village feel within Bristol, sitting along the Frome Valley between Frenchay and Eastville. The housing is dominated by large detached period properties and well-kept family homes on leafy streets.

Stapleton's Victorian terraces have lime plaster on lath — breathable and traditional, but the lath fails after 100+ years. We patch with lime plaster where the substrate's intact, or board-and-skim with vapour-check plasterboard if the lath's gone. Match the original finish if the property's listed or in a Conservation Area.

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.

Stapleton is one of those rare Bristol suburbs that genuinely feels like a village — there's a village green, a pond, a working allotment site, and the Frome Valley right on the doorstep. The housing reflects this: large detached period properties (Edwardian and 1920s-30s), well-kept family homes on leafy streets, and the modern new-build infill where the old hospital sites have been redeveloped. Many of the older properties were finished in lime render that needs careful restoration — we use lime-compatible systems on heritage work here.

★★★★★

We recently had plastering work completed in our home and we couldn't be more impressed with the results. The plasterer was punctual and tidy. They took great care in protecting our floors and furniture.

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.
