About KL Renovate Ltd
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.
What we do
Every service below is delivered with the same promise: a true, clean, paint-ready surface — and a site left tidier than we found it.
Full-skims over plasterboard or existing walls for a glass-smooth, paint-ready finish. One-coat systems, tape & jointing and Level 5 finishes available.
Traditional sand & cement flat render and modern monocouche-ready bases. Weatherproof, crisp exteriors built for the Somerset coast.
Satin-smooth power float on garages, extensions and new-build render — the modern, low-maintenance façade finish that keeps its line.
First and second fix plasterboarding — walls, partitions and ceiling “lids”, including moisture-resistant board for kitchens and bathrooms.
Patchwork, cut-outs, re-enforcing, re-boarding and re-skimming. Damp-damaged walls, impact holes and cracked render brought back to new.
Whole-property wall & ceiling renovation — strip, board, skim and prep room by room, so your decorator walks straight in and starts painting.
How we work
Message, call or send photos via Instagram DM. We'll give you an honest steer and an idea of budget fast.
We measure up, check the substrate and hand over a clear written quote — fixed price, no surprises.
Floors down, furniture covered, dust contained. Then boarding, skimming or rendering — done properly.
We sight every wall under work-light with you, then leave the property spotless and paint-ready.

Where we work
Based in Portishead, our vans cover Bristol and North Somerset daily. If you're nearby and not sure whether we reach you — ask, we usually do.

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.
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.
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.
Absolutely. Wet rooms, bathrooms and kitchens get pink moisture-resistant board on walls and ceilings (“lids on every room”) before skimming or tiling prep.
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.
Yes to both. We work fully insured with written quotes, clear payment stages and receipts for every job.
