A few plastering & rendering jobs.
Pulled from the last few months across Cardiff, Newport and the boroughs. Hover for a one-line note on the project.
Through our sister trade, Sycamore Plastering. Skim, full re-plaster and external render, ready for paint first time.
Plastering is the layer that connects every other trade in the room. Done well it disappears under the paint. Done badly it shows up the moment the light hits the wall. Our plastering team works exclusively with the bathroom side, so the finish is to a tile-spec standard even on the walls that will see paint rather than tile.
Skim coats over existing sound plaster, full re-plaster onto fresh boards, scratch and float coats on stripped brick, dot-and-dab where needed for thermal upgrade, sand and cement render externally for newly exposed walls.
For renovations, period properties needing repair plaster, damp wall remediation after a leak, render replacement on bathroom external walls, and the connecting trade between strip-out and tile.
Every job is run the same way: same team, same trades, same approach. The notes below are how we think about plastering & rendering specifically.
One or two coats of multi-finish plaster over sound substrate. Polished flat for paint, keyed for tile.
Stripped back to brick, scratch coat, float coat, finish coat. Suitable for damp-affected walls or bowed runs.
Sand and cement, K-rend, monocouche. Bathroom external walls and small render repairs.
After a leak is fixed, we replaster the affected wall once it is dry, with salt-resistant render where needed.

Call Simon for an initial chat, or send a couple of photos of the space and Sycamore will come back with a quote the same week.
A few photos and a sketch of the room is usually enough for a first quote. For anything structural or tricky, we come and look.
