Silicone Rendering in
Frenchay

Frenchay is a leafy village suburb on the north-east edge of Bristol, dominated by large detached houses on generous plots.

Frenchay has a mix of 1930s detached and 1970s-80s executive homes, many on the larger side and set in mature gardens. The 1930s stock typically needs full strip-back; the 1970s-80s stock often has acrylic that's reaching end-of-life.

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.

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.

★★★★★

We recently had plastering work completed in our home and we couldn't be more impressed with the results. From start to finish, the professionalism and attention to detail were amazing. They communicated well from the initial message and whilst on the job to grasp what we wanted. The plasterer was punctual and tidy. They took great care in protecting our floors and furniture.

Sean and Kyran from KD Plastering rendered an exterior wall that had been left unfinished after a garage extension was added. They managed to work around the bad weather we had at the beginning of the year, and communicated well to let us know when they'd be round. They colour matched to the existing render perfectly - very happy!
