Plaster or Render? A Simple Guide

What the difference is, when you need each, and how to keep walls smooth and sound for years.

Plaster is used internally to give walls a smooth, paint-ready finish. Render is its tougher external cousin, protecting outside walls from the weather.

If your walls are cracked, hollow-sounding or tired, get in touch and we'll advise on the right fix.
