Plastering is the process of applying a protective and decorative layer to walls or ceilings. It creates a smooth finish that’s ideal for painting or wallpapering while adding durability to the surface.

The duration depends on the size of the area and the complexity of the project. For example, a single room may take 1-2 days, while larger projects may take longer.

Yes, we can plaster over existing surfaces as long as they are in stable condition. If repairs are needed, we’ll handle those before plastering.

We use a variety of plasters, including standard gypsum-based plaster and lime plaster, depending on your project’s needs.

Absolutely. We specialise in repairing cracks, holes, and other damages, ensuring the surface looks as good as new.

It’s best to wait until the plaster has fully dried, which typically takes 5-7 days, depending on the thickness, room conditions and outside and inside temperature (season).

Avoid overloading the surface with heavy paint layers initially. Use a mist coat (diluted paint) for the first coat to ensure the plaster breathes properly.

Yes, we are experienced in working with curved walls and ceilings, ensuring a professional finish on unique architectural features.

Yes, plastering often involves creating a base layer and a finishing coat, while skimming is a thin finishing layer applied to smooth out existing plaster.

Lime plaster is breathable, flexible, and ideal for older or period properties. It helps regulate moisture and prevents cracking, making it perfect for restoration work.

Rendering involves applying a durable exterior coating to walls, providing weather resistance and an attractive finish.

Yes, we provide a variety of options, including cement-based render, lime render, and decorative finishes. We also apply K-Rend which is a leading brand of external render, widely recognised for its high-quality, durable, and visually appealing finishes. It is manufactured by the Kilwaughter company and has become a popular choice for both residential and commercial properties. Like other brand names (e.g., Hoover or Walkman), “K-Rend” is often used colloquially to describe rendering in general, but it specifically refers to the unique products and systems developed by this brand.

Key Features of K-Rend:

• Mineral-Based Render: K-Rend traditionally produces thick-coat mineral-based renders, processed using high-quality limestone. These renders are durable, versatile, and available in a wide range of colors and textures—over 500 options—making it easy to achieve a customized look for your property.
• Silicone Technology: Many K-Rend products incorporate silicone, which enhances water repellency, breathability, and weather resistance while requiring minimal maintenance.
• Variety of Options: K-Rend offers both traditional thick-coat renders and newer organic resin renders (also known as “bucket mix”), catering to diverse project needs. Resin-based renders are cement-free and arrive ready to use, making them ideal for modern, eco-friendly applications.

Application Methods: K-Rend can be applied by hand or machine, allowing for flexibility depending on the project size and complexity. A base coat is usually required, especially when applying the render over surfaces like painted walls or non-brickwork substrates.

Versatility and Insulation: While K-Rend itself does not include external wall insulation (EWI), it can be paired with insulation materials to enhance energy efficiency, making it a suitable choice for properties looking to reduce energy consumption and carbon footprint.

In summary, K-Rend is a high-quality rendering solution offering excellent durability, aesthetics, and performance, with options to suit both traditional and modern construction projects.

With proper maintenance, rendering can last 15-20 years or more, depending on the materials used.

Yes, rendering can act as a protective barrier against moisture, especially when combined with appropriate damp-proofing measures.

Rendering is typically for external walls and focuses on durability and weatherproofing, while plastering is for internal walls, focusing on a smooth finish.
