Photos of our work

Plastering and rendering by our team. Some finished, some part way through so you can see how it is done.

Inside: plastering

Freshly plastered media wall with a recess for a television and a fire opening below — Media wall built out and skimmed, with a TV recess above and a fire opening below. Still dark because the plaster is wet.

Freshly plastered chimney breast with a fire opening, a TV recess and three alcove shelves — Chimney breast re-formed with shelf alcoves, a TV recess and a square fire opening, all skimmed in one go.

Outside: rendering

House in white render with black window frames and a red block drive — White through-coloured render with a dark plinth at the bottom to hide splash marks.

Flat-fronted terraced houses in smooth cream render with black front doors — Neighbouring terraced fronts rendered together so the finish is the same from end to end.

Semi-detached house with curved bay windows in cream render and red tile sills — Curved bays rendered by hand in cream, original tile sills kept on show.

Bungalow with a smooth white rendered front beside a pebbledashed neighbour — A bungalow front taken from pebbledash to smooth render. Next door still has the old finish.

Semi with a rendered first-floor bay over a brick ground floor — Top half rendered, bottom half left as brick, with a drip bead where the two meet.

Terraced house in white render with a brick arch over the porch and a brick plinth — Render cut in tight to a brick porch arch the owner wanted keeping.

Semi-detached house in new white render with the scaffold still up — Top coat finished. The scaffold stays until the render has had time to cure.

Back of a large house with the upper floor rendered and scaffold around a brick extension — Part way through: first floor done, scaffold still in place over the extension.

Rendered chimney stack and dormer side seen from scaffold boards — Chimney stack and dormer side re-rendered while the scaffold was up.

Three-storey back wall in white render with dormers and a single-storey extension — Three storeys of white render at the back, extension included.

Semi-detached house with white render above a buff brick front extension — First floor re-rendered to tidy up after a front extension was built.

Long two-storey side wall in white render with black windows and a dark band — A long gable-side wall. Any wave in the float shows up here, so it gets ruled flat.

Back of a house in white render with three dormers and wide glazed doors — Narrow strips of render between big glazed openings, each edge beaded.

House with steep gables in white render and dark window frames — Tall gables rendered white with dark frames for contrast.

Cream rendered house front with an oak-framed porch on brick piers — Cream render finished round an oak porch without marking the timber.

White rendered entrance with a cream surround and band course — Two colours on one front: white walls, cream surround and band.

Period house front with a cream rendered bay, decorative door surround and iron railings — An older front with its mouldings and brackets kept and repainted with the wall.

Large detached house in cream render behind a gravel drive — A big detached house in cream with gables on every side.

Modern house with white render above dark stone cladding and a glass balcony — White render against dark stone cladding on a modern build.

Row of new-build houses in off-white render — New-build plots rendered in off-white straight onto blockwork.

New house with cream render panels set between red brick gables — Cream render panels framed by brickwork on a new house.

Semi-detached house in white render with a curved porch opening and a garage — Curved porch opening shaped in render to follow the door.

Small rendered outbuilding with a grey door in a back garden — Garden building rendered so it matches the house.

How to judge a plasterer's photos

A wide shot of a finished wall tells you very little. Look closer at the details that are hard to get right.

Edges of recesses and reveals: sharp, straight and even
Inside corners: a clean line, not a rounded smear
Where plaster meets skirting, sockets and frames: neat, no lumps
Outside walls in sunlight: no ripples or float marks in the shadows
The base of a rendered wall: a bead that stops short of the ground
