plastering & rendering in
Trowbridge

Trowbridge mixes Georgian red-brick terraces around the Court Street conservation area with post-war estates on the town's edges. The brick terraces usually need lime-based plaster over the original solid walls; the post-war semis are mostly sound gypsum substrates where a straight skim is the right answer. We specify per wall, not per house.

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.

What you can build in Trowbridge depends almost entirely on which half of the town you are in. The estates built from the 1960s onwards — Studley Green, Hilperton Marsh, Paxcroft Mead — generally have the plot width and the permitted development rights to take a proper rear or wraparound extension without a full planning application, which is why space-adding work is worth doing there. The Georgian and Victorian centre around Fore Street and Court Street is largely Conservation Area, so the same extension needs a different approach: planning consent, sympathetic materials, and a realistic conversation about what the council will actually pass before anyone draws anything. We work across both, and we will tell you at the site visit which category your property falls into and what that means for cost and timescale. It is exactly this balance — extensions and renovations on the estate stock, double-storey and over-structure additions, and careful period work in the town centre — that drives most of the building work we carry out in Trowbridge.
