Radstock's colliery-era cottages and 1930s semis both throw up the same problem: decades of cement-based patches over what were originally lime-finished solid walls. We strip failed patches back, assess the substrate honestly, and either match lime or advise a full re-plaster — quoting both so you can decide.
Plastering and rendering across Bath — including the lime plaster, lime render and limewash work that Bath's listed buildings require. Skimming, external render systems, damp-proof plastering and tanked wet areas from a crew that understands why a Georgian wall needs to breathe. Skimming in Combe Down, lime render in Bathwick, full re-renders in Chippenham — same standard everywhere.
Radstock's streets of terraced miners' cottages and Victorian housing were built for the Somerset coalfield workforce — a history the town now preserves at Radstock Museum, housed in the old Market Hall — and the town has spent the decades since reinventing itself without losing that solid, no-nonsense housing stock. Owners here want the same thing we hear across the Somer Valley: genuine build quality and honest pricing, without a Bath postcode premium attached. Former mine-shaft records are a real consideration on some sites, and we survey for them as standard before any groundwork begins. From kitchen and bathroom refurbishments to full structural renovations, we apply the same rigorous project management regardless of project size — and that honest, fixed-price refurbishment work is exactly what Radstock owners ask us for.

When Radstock homeowners call us about plastering & rendering
If any of these sound like your property, this is the service you want.
Multi-finish slapped over lime walls — traps moisture and blows off; the building needs lime
Skimming over damp without solving the cause — damp-proof plastering means finding the damp first
Cement render on a solid stone wall — cracks and holds moisture; breathable systems only
Tanking forgotten behind baths and showers — wet areas get tanked plasterboard
External render mismatched to the wall — substrate and exposure drive the system choice
Render applied without proper bead and corner detail — the finish is only ever as flat as the beads
