Silicone render and plastering in Basildon

Basildon is a short run from the Wickford base. Most of the work here is tired pebbledash and painted sand-and-cement on estate houses, replaced with a Licata silicone coat.

A typical Basildon elevation is a semi or a short terrace. The old dash has cracked at the sills, or the masonry paint is holding water. The first look is the substrate. If it is sound, a reinforced basecoat, mesh and Isolante LG primer go on, then Siloxan Color.

Internal plastering sits alongside that. A ceiling skim or a patched wall in the same house can be priced in the same visit. Send the postcode and a few daylight photos of the whole front, not just the crack.

Kieron has 20 years in the trade. The limited company is based at 51 Ulting Way, Wickford, SS11 8ND, and Basildon is one of the towns worked every week.
