Plastering & Rendering for a 1930s Semi
Interwar semis are solid, well-proportioned homes — but dated pebbledash and artexed ceilings can make them feel tired. Smooth render and fresh plaster transform them.

What we're working with
About a 1930s semi
1930s semis usually have cavity brick walls, bay windows and often pebbledash or roughcast render to the front. Interiors were plastered, and many gained artex ceilings in later decades.
The cavity construction means modern renders and finishes suit them well.

Frequently asked questions
Can you modernise a pebbledashed 1930s semi?
Yes — removing tired pebbledash for a smooth silicone or monocouche render is one of the biggest transformations we do.
Can you smooth artex ceilings?
Yes — we skim over sound artex or overboard heavier texture for a flat, modern finish.
