Materials and systems
We work exclusively with high-quality, BBA-approved materials. Here is an overview of what we use across our plastering services and why.
Thin coat and silicone renders
Advanced silicone renders are tailored to provide high performance and a long-lasting, pleasing aesthetic for any property — even in the harsh coastal weather conditions of Brighton and Hove. Flexibility, breathability and hydrophobic properties ensure it can flex with a building’s natural movements, repels water and lasts for years.
It actively prevents problems with organic growth on external walls, ensuring no future issues with dampness or mould. Once installed, it requires minimum upkeep and retains colour pigments even after prolonged UV exposure.
A decorative render that includes quartz aggregate — particularly strong, durable and waterproof, offering a textured, aesthetically pleasing finish.
Designed to create a highly smooth surface on external walls in a single application.
A high-quality masonry paint for painting over either an existing silicone render to refresh the facade, or over a mineral render to seal and decorate it. Highly breathable, waterproof and resistant to environmental pollutants — perfect for coastal areas like Brighton and Hove. Available in thousands of colours.
Base coats, primers and adhesives
Essential for just-render and wall insulation systems, enhancing adhesion to the surface of the substrate. Highly flexible, breathable and long-lasting.
A highly water-resistant, vapour-permeable base coat adhesive — ideal for application in areas prone to water ingress.
The perfect solution for masking pebbledash — covering the old finish in a single application ready for a new render.
Used to aid adhesion between the underlying substrate and the base coat applied as part of the render or insulation process.
Used for creating a long-lasting finish. Can be pigmented to match the colour of the render beneath for consistency.
Takes just 24 hours to kill all microorganisms on a substrate including algae, mould and lichen — essential preparation for many exterior jobs.
Insulation materials
We offer a range of insulation materials for a wide variety of structures, installed using both adhesives and mechanical fixings for added security. All part of our EWI service in Brighton and across Sussex.
EPS
High-performing, cost-efficient insulation that upgrades the thermal properties of a building, improving U-values and reducing the risk of water penetration and condensation.
- Lightweight but durable
- Non-degrading
- Excellent thermal performance
Mineral wool
Improved thermal conductivity, acoustic insulation and outstanding fire resistance — non-combustible, acting as a fire barrier without contributing to the fire itself.
- Fire resistant
- Breathable
- Good acoustic performance
Kingspan K
A premium board for EWI systems — ideal where space saving is important without compromising thermal performance.
- Space saving
- Premium performance
- Resistant to water vapour
- Easy to handle and install
XPS insulation
Foam insulation with outstanding thermal properties — particularly well suited for below the damp-proof course.
- High compressive strength
- Resistant to water
- Cost effective
- Ideal for below DPC
Fibreglass mesh
Embedded within the base coat to enhance tensile strength and crack resistance of the overall just-render or EWI system.
Render carrier board
Provides a durable backing surface for thin coat render systems. Can withstand extreme weathering — does not rot or swell on contact with water.
Beading, trims and accessories
Beading and mesh
Essential in just-render and EWI systems to reinforce weak points within the structure — preventing cracking at corners and edges.
Verge trims and over sills
Made from powder-coated aluminium to ensure the EWI system is completely waterproof — deterring water from the system and protecting the insulation from water ingress.
Mechanical fixings
Small but essential fixings used to secure insulation boards to the substrate in addition to adhesive — providing added security and longevity to the overall system.
