About KL Renovate Ltd

Small team.
Serious standards.

We're a Portishead-based plastering and renovation outfit with one obsession: finishes that are right properly right. Flat, true, glass-smooth walls and ceilings that make painters happy and homeowners tell their neighbours.

From a single patched ceiling to boarding and skimming an entire four-bed home, we treat every job with the same care — floors covered, dust contained, tools down only when the sight-lines are flawless.

  • Plasterers by trade, renovators by heart. Skimming, boarding, render and full internal finishes.
  • Traditional & modern methods. Sand & cement flat render, power float, machine or hand skim.
  • Documented on Instagram. Watch real, unedited jobs — @klrenovateltd.

What we do

Finishing services,
done by specialists.

Every service below is delivered with the same promise: a true, clean, paint-ready surface — and a site left tidier than we found it.

Plastering & Skimming

Full-skims over plasterboard or existing walls for a glass-smooth, paint-ready finish. One-coat systems, tape & jointing and Level 5 finishes available.

Rendering — External Walls

Traditional sand & cement flat render and modern monocouche-ready bases. Weatherproof, crisp exteriors built for the Somerset coast.

Power Float Finishes

Satin-smooth power float on garages, extensions and new-build render — the modern, low-maintenance façade finish that keeps its line.

Boarding & Ceilings

First and second fix plasterboarding — walls, partitions and ceiling “lids”, including moisture-resistant board for kitchens and bathrooms.

Repairs & Restoration

Patchwork, cut-outs, re-enforcing, re-boarding and re-skimming. Damp-damaged walls, impact holes and cracked render brought back to new.

Full Renovation Finishes

Whole-property wall & ceiling renovation — strip, board, skim and prep room by room, so your decorator walks straight in and starts painting.

Word of mouth

Neighbours talk.
Here's what they say.

  • ★★★★★

    “They skimmed the whole house top to bottom and the walls are like glass. Tidy, friendly, and they finished two days early. The painter couldn't believe how smooth it was.”

    SHomeownerPortishead · Full-house skim
  • ★★★★★

    “Our garage and side elevation were cracked and ugly. Now it's a flat, clean render that matches the house. Quoted what they'd do it for, and that's exactly what we paid.”

    RHomeownerNailsea · Render & power float
  • ★★★★★

    “Water damage had ruined two ceilings. They cut out and re-boarded and skimmed — you'd never know there was a problem. Booked them straight back for the bathroom.”

Good questions

Answers, before
you even ask.

Do quotes cost anything?

No. Site visits and written quotes are always free and no-obligation. Photos via Instagram DM or email are a great way to get an early ballpark before we visit.

How long does it take to skim a room?

A standard room is usually skimmed in a day, then needs a few days to dry fully before painting — faster with forced ventilation. Multi-room projects are quoted with a clear day-by-day schedule.

Can you match or repair damaged render?

Yes — cut out, re-enforce, re-board, re-skim and re-render. We match traditional sand & cement systems and can refinish whole elevations so repairs simply vanish.

Do you use moisture-resistant board in bathrooms?

Absolutely. Wet rooms, bathrooms and kitchens get pink moisture-resistant board on walls and ceilings (“lids on every room”) before skimming or tiling prep.

Will you move furniture and protect the property?

That's standard. We cover floors and furniture, isolate dust as far as practical, and leave everywhere cleaned down at the end of each day and at sign-off.

Are you insured, and do you give receipts?

Yes to both. We work fully insured with written quotes, clear payment stages and receipts for every job.
