Silicone Rendering in
Knowle

Knowle has a mix of 1930s semis along the Wells Road corridor and 1960s-70s estate homes further south. The 1930s semis carry failed sand-and-cement; the estate homes typically have original pebbledash that's failing piecemeal.

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.

Knowle is one of the more popular south Bristol suburbs — close to Temple Meads station (15-minute walk), within easy reach of the city centre, with a strong local community feel. The housing stock is dominated by 1930s semi-detached homes on the older streets and post-war infill (1960s bungalows and 1970s detached) on the surrounding roads. Many of the older renders here are now failing and the homes benefit hugely from a silicone re-render. We render roughly 10-15 Knowle properties each year.
