Plastering & Rendering for a Post-War House
Homes from the 1950s and 60s are practical and solid, but often have dated finishes and cold walls. Re-skimming, dry-lining and fresh render bring them up to date.

What we're working with
About a post-war house
Post-war houses are typically cavity brick or block — occasionally non-traditional construction — plastered internally and often part-rendered outside.
They respond well to modern re-skims, dry-lining for warmth, and updated render finishes.
What we typically fix
Common issues we see
Cold, uneven walls
Dry-lining adds a flatter, warmer surface before skimming smooth.

Frequently asked questions
Can you re-skim a whole 1960s house?
Yes — we regularly re-skim entire homes room by room, keeping mess to a minimum.
Can dry-lining make the walls warmer?
Yes — dry lining onto cold masonry gives a flatter, warmer surface, then we skim it smooth.
