Service-specific questions

Plasterboard is a sheet that is screwed to the frame. Solid plaster goes on wet in coats and dries to a harder wall with no joins.
Yes. Render is one of the best ways to update a brick home. We check the brickwork first to make sure it is sound.

Usually, yes. We do the work in stages and seal off the work area, so you keep the rest of the home.
Yes. Footing and slab design depends on the soil classification. We can arrange a geotechnical report if you do not have one.
