Silicone render and plastering in Brentwood

Brentwood work is mostly detached houses and side extensions, where the colour has to sit quietly on a leafy street rather than shout.

Scaffold and access are agreed before the finish. A long flank wall or a house close to the boundary changes the job more than the choice between white and cream. Siloxan Color is the usual silicone coat. Lerici acrylic or Monoscratch300 monocouche are used when the specification asks for them.

Older fronts sometimes keep a brick bay and render the rest. That stop line has to be straight. Photos of the whole elevation, including the roof and the neighbour’s wall, are more useful than a close-up of one crack.

Internal skim and boarding are available on the same enquiry. The yard is in Wickford. Brentwood is a regular run, not a special trip, and Kieron has 20 years in the trade.
