Riley's Pro Trowel has spent fifteen years building a reputation on specialist plastering and rendering work across Plymouth, Devon and Cornwall. They focus on machine-applied render, silicone systems, lime plastering, breathable render, and heritage rendering for period and listed buildings. Their approach emphasizes correct specification, proper curing times, and a conservation-aware methodology for period and listed properties.
The company assesses every project individually, specifying the correct materials and systems based on the building's age, substrate, and moisture behaviour. They avoid shortcuts, understanding that lime render requires time to cure between coats and that surface preparation cannot be rushed. Riley's Pro Trowel is experienced in working with listed buildings and conservation areas, liaising with conservation officers as needed to ensure work meets expectations.
They offer a range of services including machine spray rendering for larger projects, silicone rendering for modern and traditional properties, and specialist heritage rendering using lime-based systems for pre-1919 buildings, listed properties, and conservation areas. Internal work includes lime plastering and Venetian plastering, with a commitment to using appropriate materials that allow buildings to manage moisture naturally.
