Eastville · BS5Silicone Rendering
Eastville sits east of Bristol, bordering Stapleton Road and the Frome Valley. The housing is dominated by Victorian and Edwardian terraces, with newer flats around Eastville Park.
Eastville's Victorian terraces were mostly rendered in sand-and-cement in the 1970s, and that's what fails first on the north-facing gables. We strip back to brick, repoint, then apply silicone over a mesh base. The terraces are tight for scaffold, so we work one elevation at a time.
Silicone render is the system we'd put on our own homes. It's the best of all worlds: through-colour, so no painting ever; hydrophobic, so Bristol's driving rain beads off; breathable, so the wall can dry out; and self-cleaning, so algae and dirt don't take hold. We install silicone systems from Johnstone's, K Rend, Parex and Weber across Bristol — typically on 1930s semis where the original sand-and-cement has failed, on detached new-builds where a clean modern finish is wanted, and on commercial buildings where a 25-year maintenance-free life matters. Every silicone system we install is backed by a 10-year manufacturer warranty, and priced with a fixed written quote after a free site visit.
Eastville is one of the more diverse east Bristol suburbs — the housing mixes Victorian and Edwardian terraces on the older streets with newer flats around Eastville Park and the Frome Valley. The M32 runs along its southern edge, which makes access easy for our vehicles but also means some homes are exposed to more traffic pollution. We work on whole streets here, often coordinating across multiple properties. The Eastville Park area has a growing number of newer flats and apartments that occasionally need sympathetic render repairs.
If any of these sound like your property, this is the service you want.

Repainting every 3-5 years becoming expensive and disruptive

Verified reviews from recent work.
Very good plastering work done to cover Artex ceilings. When they started it, the work was done efficiently by a friendly team. We felt like certain things could've been explained better to us, meaning I'd rate them 4/5 overall. Though I would still recommend them, as they were good overall.
Would recommend K D Plastering. When I made my initial call, I left a message and Kyran returned the call by the end of the day to arrange a house visit/quote which was efficiently done within 2 days. Really happy with the plastering that was done over the artex roof and walls. We also had a bit of outdoor rendering done to a great standard.
Re plastered a bedroom that had suffered damage after the flat roof had leaked, took a little longer than planned due to problems with the ceiling but finished job was excellent. Job was done quickly and efficiently, would recommend.
