Plasterers in Kirkstall

Plastering & Rendering and the housing in Kirkstall

Built round the ruined abbey in the Aire valley, with Victorian terraces and back-to-backs on the slopes, inter-war semis higher up and mill conversions by the river. We cover all of it, from Kirkstall Lane, Bridge Road and the terraces off Beecroft Street to the edges of LS5.

Older terraces usually have lime plaster on solid brick, patched with gypsum over the years, and lath ceilings that can sag. Damp at the base of walls and cracked ceilings are the most common call-outs.

Working in Kirkstall

Back-to-backs and terraces on the slopes, inter-war semis higher up and mill conversions by the river. The older stone buildings around the abbey and the river need materials and methods that suit them. Kirkstall is about 3 miles from the city centre, and we also cover Hawksworth, Beckett Park and Burley next door.
