PJ Plastering & Rendering
Straightforward Plastering and Rendering in Chester-Le-Street
Getting a fair price should not be the hardest part of the job. In Chester-Le-Street, PJ Plastering & Rendering Ltd works to a simple routine: free site visit, written quote, agreed date, tidy finish. The town sits a short hop from our Houghton-Le-Spring base, so none of that comes with a travel premium.
Our Craft
How We Price Work in Chester-Le-Street
Every job starts with a proper look, not a guess over the phone. We visit, measure, check the condition of what is there, and talk through options at different price points where they exist. The written quote that follows itemises the work, so if you get other prices you are comparing like with like.
No deposits are requested for the sake of it, no figure changes halfway through unless you change the job, and the quote costs nothing whether you use us or not.
Why It Matters
From the Old Streets to the New Estates
Chester-Le-Street is one of the oldest market towns in the region, sitting on the Wear between Durham and the Tyneside conurbation, and its housing spans every era. Older terraces near the centre call for careful re-skims, damp treatment and repairs that respect solid-wall construction. The newer estates around the town are more often plasterboard work: skimming, ceiling repairs and making good after alterations.
We work across all of it, inside and out.
Rendering With a Decade of Cover
Exterior rendering here follows the same pattern as the rest of our patch: sand and cement, acrylic, silicone and insulated systems, machine-applied over properly prepared walls, scaffolding arranged by us, and a 10-year guarantee on the finished job.

Questions Answered
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you cover Chester-Le-Street?
Yes, it is one of our nearer towns, an easy run from Houghton-Le-Spring and well inside the 20-mile radius. Quotes are free and travel is never added to the bill.
What will a written quote include?
The scope of work, preparation needed, materials and system chosen, scaffolding if relevant, and the total price. It is itemised deliberately so you can compare quotes fairly and see exactly what you are paying for.
How much does a re-skim cost in Chester-Le-Street?
Most single rooms come in at a few hundred pounds, and whole-property re-skims are priced by room count and condition. The free site visit lets us give you an exact written figure rather than a range.
Can you sort damp in an older terrace near the town centre?
Yes. Older solid-wall terraces in Chester-Le-Street sometimes suffer where pointing, ground levels or ventilation have changed over the decades. Our repairs service includes damp-proofing treatment, and we always fix the cause before replastering.
Do you do plasterboard and skimming on newer estate houses?
All the time. Boarding, skimming, ceiling repairs and making good after knock-throughs or new wiring are routine for us on modern properties, and the finish is left ready for a mist coat.
Which render would you recommend for my house?
It depends on the wall construction, exposure and budget. Silicone is the premium low-maintenance option, acrylic offers colour-through value, sand and cement suits repairs and matching, and insulated systems add warmth. We recommend at the survey, not before we have seen the walls.
Is your rendering guaranteed?
Yes, every exterior render carries a 10-year guarantee, and the firm is fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
How long will my job take?
A room skim is usually a day plus drying time, full re-skims a few days to a week, and exterior renders one to two weeks depending on size and weather. Your quote comes with a realistic duration, not an optimistic one.
Do you work Saturdays or around family life?
We schedule around you where we can, including start times that suit school runs and shift patterns. Tell us your constraints when we book and we will plan the job accordingly.
Can you quote a rental property through my letting agent?
Yes, we do this regularly across Chester-Le-Street. We can arrange access with the agent or tenant, quote in writing for approval, and schedule the work between tenancies where needed.
