🏑 A Long Overdue Exterior Transformation

Here’s one we completed a couple of months ago that we completely forgot to share!

This bungalow had previously been fully rendered but unfortunately was never painted afterwards, leaving the bare render exposed to the elements for a considerable amount of time.

As you can see from the before photos, the unpainted render had started to look tired, weathered and discoloured. The property was crying out for that final stage to properly finish it off.

We were brought in to finally give the exterior the protection and finish it should have had from the start.

Preparation was key on this one. We thoroughly prepared the existing render, dealing with any areas that required attention and making sure the surfaces were clean and ready before applying the exterior masonry paint system.

🎨 The entire bungalow was then professionally painted, completely transforming the appearance from the original bare grey render to a crisp, clean white finish.

We also carried the transformation across to the detached garage, painting the original brickwork in the same colour as the house while keeping the brickwork texture and detailing visible. This helped bring the two buildings together and made the whole property feel much more complete.

The difference is massive. πŸ‘Œ

What had been left as unfinished render for a long time now looks like a properly finished home β€” fresh, bright and, most importantly, protected from the British weather.

Definitely one of those jobs where the before and after photos speak for themselves! β˜€οΈπŸ‘

🏠 THIN COAT RENDER SYSTEM | ANOTHER EXTERIOR TRANSFORMATION 🏠

Myself and Beaver Plastering recently had the pleasure of helping out A & R Construction and developments ltd on this project, completing the external finish to both the existing property and the new areas of the build.

As the before-and-after photos show, there was a fair amount of work involved in bringing all the different backgrounds together and achieving one clean, consistent finish across the property.

A&R Construction had already prepared the exterior using a combination of insulated render boards and cement boards, giving us the substrate ready to receive the render system.

Our work involved beading up with thincoat angle beads and drip beads and applying a high-polymer base coat, carefully working across the different elevations to create a strong, stable and uniform background. Particular attention was paid around the windows, doors, corners, reveals and junctions to ensure everything remained neat and the finished lines were as sharp as possible.

Once the base coat had been completed and the preparation was right, we moved onto the final stage β€” the decorative thin coat finish.

The chosen colour was applied completely by hand, working methodically around the property to maintain an even texture and consistent appearance from one elevation to the next. With thin coat systems, the preparation underneath is every bit as important as the final application, so taking the time to get each stage right makes a huge difference to the end result.

The transformation speaks for itself. πŸ‘Œ

From the exposed insulation and cement boards at the beginning to a clean, modern and seamless exterior finish, the completed render has completely changed the appearance of the property and tied the old and new sections together brilliantly.

Thin coat render is a great choice for projects like this, providing a modern decorative finish with excellent flexibility and weather resistance, while offering a huge range of colour options to suit the property.

Really pleased with how this one turned out, especially considering the amount of detailing involved around the different elevations, windows, doors, rooflines and the tighter access areas.

A big thanks to A&R Construction for getting us involved with another cracking project. 🀝

The pictures show the progression from the prepared boards right through to the finished elevations β€” and what a difference! πŸ”₯

🦌 Nursery Feature Wall Transformation 🦌

A lovely little job completed recently, getting this wall ready for its new life as part of a nursery. πŸ‘Άβœ¨

The existing wall was in need of some attention, so we started by properly preparing and priming the surface before applying a fresh two-coat plaster finish, leaving it smooth and ready for decorating.

Once the plaster had been given plenty of time to fully dry, i then tasked the dad to be to prime and prepare the new plaster before hanging this beautiful bambi wallpaper chosen for the nursery.

The preparation is just as important as the finished product when it comes to wallpapering. Getting the wall flat, smooth and properly sealed gives you a much cleaner finish and helps those joins sit exactly as they should.

Really pleased with how this one turned out β€” from a tired marked wall to a completely finished nursery feature wall. 🦌🌿

🏠 Another Monocouche Render Completed

A great transformation on this property, completed alongside Beaver Plastering πŸ‘Œ

The existing elevations were ready for a complete refresh, so we worked through the correct preparation stages to create a strong, durable base before applying the final finish.

πŸ”¨ The process included:

Beading all external corners, reveals and required edges to achieve clean, sharp lines

Preparing the existing blockwork ready for the new render system

Applying a full base coat to provide a solid and consistent background

Allowing the base coat to cure correctly before moving onto the finishing stage

Applying the Monocouche top coat

Scraping the render back to achieve that clean, uniform Monocouche finish

Finishing around the new doors, windows and large glazed sections to keep everything looking crisp and tidy

The difference from the bare blockwork to the finished elevations is massive. The new render has completely transformed the exterior and works brilliantly alongside the dark window frames, fascia and large glazed doors.

Really pleased with how this one has turned out. Plenty of preparation went into it, but as always, good preparation is what makes the finished job. πŸ’ͺ

Another enjoyable one working alongside Beaver Plastering and another quality exterior finish completed. 🀝

Another project successfully completed! πŸ‘Œ

This time we were asked to transform the ceilings throughout this second-floor flat, creating a smooth, modern finish ready for decoration.

Thanks to Beaver Plastering for helping me out on such short notice was a very last minute job, we began by priming every ceiling with Kirk Johnstone Pink SBR to ensure the perfect bond before applying two coats of British Gypsum MultiFinish plaster. We also plastered a couple of bathroom walls, leaving everything with a clean, seamless finish.

I will be returning shortly to make good after a new opening is created between the kitchen and living/dining room, helping to transform the layout into a much brighter and more spacious open-plan living area.

Even better, we've also been asked back by South Coast Holiday Homes in a few weeks to carry out the full decorating package. It's always a pleasure to work for returning customers, and we're incredibly grateful for the trust they continue to place in us. Building long-term relationships through quality workmanship and reliability is something we take great pride in.

A big thank you to Beaver Plastering for another great team effort.

Another successful transformation completed! πŸ‘Œ

I was asked by Beaver Plastering to lend a hand on this chimney restoration after Gregory Adams Roofing uncovered some serious issues with the existing finish.

The original Monocouche render had completely failed due to poor installation by previous contractors, resulting in blown render, cracking and water ingress. The decision was made to strip everything back to a sound substrate and start again properly.

By the time I arrived, Beaver Plastering had already hacked off all of the failed render and installed the beads ready for the new system. We then worked together to apply a full reinforced base coat, leaving it to cure correctly before returning a day later to apply a fresh coat of Ivory Monocouche.

The end result speaks for itself – crisp lines, a consistent finish and a chimney that's not only transformed aesthetically but has been installed correctly to provide a durable, long-lasting finish.

It's always satisfying taking something that has failed so badly and bringing it back to life the right way.

A big thank you to Steve at Beaver Plastering for asking me to help out, and Greg Adams Roofing for trusting the team to put it right.

If you're dealing with cracked, blown or failing render, don't just cover it up – have it repaired properly from the substrate up.

Another project completed! πŸ‘Œ

I was asked by Steve Willis at Beaver Plastering to lend a hand on this project for A & R Construction and developments ltd , and it was a pleasure to be involved.

The property had already been fully boarded before we arrived, and our job was to:
βœ… Bead all windows and door openings βœ… Scrim all joints and angles
βœ… Apply a full skim finish throughout, leaving every surface smooth and ready for the next stage of the build.

The temperatures were absolutely relentless, and working in that kind of heat certainly made for a challenging couple of days. Despite the conditions, we pushed on and completed the work to a high standard, ensuring a clean, flat finish throughout the entire property.

It's always satisfying seeing a project transform from boarded plasterboard into a home that's really starting to take shape.

A big thank you to Steve at Beaver Plastering for having me along once again, and to A&R Construction for the opportunity. Looking forward to seeing this one finished.

A great way to finish the week... even if it was a hot one! β˜€οΈπŸ₯΅

Another ceiling transformed today for a happy customer.

This heavily textured Artex ceiling was fully prepared, sealed with a high-performance bonding primer, and then professionally skimmed to leave a perfectly smooth, modern finish ready for decoration. We also carried out a number of wall repairs, ensuring everything blends seamlessly with the existing surfaces.

It's amazing what a difference a freshly plastered ceiling makes. It instantly modernises a room, improves the overall appearance, and provides the perfect base for a flawless paint finish.

Despite the heat, we take pride in delivering the same high standard of workmanship, attention to detail, and leaving every job clean and tidy for our customers.

If you're tired of dated Artex ceilings or have damaged walls that need bringing back to life, we'd be happy to help.
