Cost effective Rendering and Plastering
Plastering and rendering are both the process of covering walls. The main difference in the two practices is that plastering refers to coating the interior walls, whilst rendering is the coating of exterior walls. The major distinction between plastering and rendering is the strength of the materials used in each. Nonetheless plaster and render are both made from the same building materials including, cement, sand, water and lime gypsum
Internal Work:
We use building methods such as; dry-lining, rendering, plaster-boarding and metal framework to create a surface ready for plaster application. We achieve a high quality plaster finish on all surfaces using varying products such as multi finish, one coat or traditional lime plasters. Finishes range from the clean sharp modern look to the more traditional curves and rounds.

- Ceilings
- Walls

External Work:
We use a range of different products to create a beautiful finish to the external of a property. These consist of k rend; a more modern self-coloured render with no need to paint which can offer a fantastic look to the build.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our team is just a click away if you need any advice about wall ties, but here are some answers to the questions our customers ask most.
Almost all cavity walls have wall ties in them. This is because the external skin of a cavity wall is very thin in relation to its height (the slenderness ratio). This means that under wind loads it could bulge or just fall over! The wall ties bridge the cavity, transferring the strength of the inner load bearing leaf, to the thin outer leaf.
If left, corroded wall ties can expand to eight times their original size. This expansion means the metal can push the brickwork apart causing serious cracks in the walls of your property. Our team of experienced professionals will isolate corroded ties to prevent further damage to your home, offering you valuable peace of mind.
The best way to see if you have a problem is to have an experienced professional come to inspect your property. Some of the signs of cavity wall ties that might need replacing are horizontal cracks, which are caused by the expansion of corroded wall ties. In addition, bulging brickwork could mean some wall ties have snapped, due to corrosion. This can make your property unstable and needs to be attended to quickly. Our professional team will provide you with photographic images so you can see the damage for yourself.
In some cases, only some of the wall ties need replacing. The only way to be sure is to have an inspection done, but if you have an older property there could be an increased risk of corrosion or failed wall ties. We can come an have a look and put your mind at ease.
