PJ Plastering & Rendering
Plastering and Rendering Across Sunderland and Wearside
Sunderland's housing has to live with the North Sea on its doorstep, and its walls show it. From Victorian terraces to post-war semis and city-centre commercial buildings, PJ Plastering & Rendering Ltd covers the whole city from our base a few miles away in Houghton-Le-Spring.
Our Craft
Render That Earns Its Keep by the Coast
Salt air, wind-driven rain and freeze-thaw winters are hard on exposed brick and old render. A modern silicone or acrylic system is self-coloured, breathable and highly weather-resistant, which is why so much of our Sunderland work is exterior rendering.
We machine-apply every system for a flatter finish, handle scaffolding and detailing ourselves, and back the lot with a 10-year guarantee.
Why It Matters
Victorian Terraces Deserve Better Than a Quick Patch
Sunderland has street after street of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, and their solid walls and original plaster need someone who understands them. We re-skim tired walls, repair haired lime plaster where it makes sense to keep it, deal with damp-affected areas properly, and reinstate coving and cornicing where it has been lost.
The result is a period home that decorates beautifully without losing its character.
Homeowners, Landlords and Commercial
The city keeps us busy across the board: family homes, student and rental properties needing fast turnarounds between tenancies, and shops and offices needing clean, durable finishes. Whatever the building, it starts with a free written quote and ends with a tidy site.

Questions Answered
Frequently Asked Questions
Which parts of Sunderland do you cover?
All of them. The city sits well inside our 20-mile radius from Houghton-Le-Spring, so wherever you are in Sunderland, from the seafront to the outer estates, we can quote and schedule without any travel charge.
What render is best for a house near the sea?
For exposed and coastal positions we usually recommend silicone render. It is breathable, self-cleaning and highly resistant to salt-laden weather, and the colour goes all the way through so it never needs painting. We confirm the right system at the free survey.
How much is exterior rendering in Sunderland?
A typical semi lands in the mid four-figure range depending on size, system and the state of the existing walls, with silicone and insulated systems at the top end. Your written quote is free and itemised, including scaffolding.
Can you repair the original plaster in my Victorian terrace?
Often, yes. Where original lime plaster is mostly sound we prefer to repair and blend rather than strip a whole room. Where it has blown or turned to dust, we will say so and quote for the proper fix instead of patching over a failure.
Do you deal with damp before plastering?
Always. Plastering over unresolved damp just moves the problem. We include damp-proofing treatment in our repairs service and will identify the cause, whether that is a bridged damp course, failed pointing or condensation, before any new plaster goes on.
Do you work on student and rental properties?
A lot. Sunderland's rental stock needs quick, tidy turnarounds between tenants, and we are used to working to hard deadlines, coordinating with agents and leaving rooms ready to paint.
Can you skim a room without wrecking the rest of the house?
Yes. Floors, sockets and doorways are sheeted and taped before we start, and we clean as we go. Plastering is wet work, but the mess stays inside the room we are working in.
Is parking an issue on terraced streets?
We manage it daily. For terraces with on-street parking we plan deliveries and mixing so we are not blocking neighbours, and for rendering jobs we agree scaffold and skip positions with you in advance.
Do you cover commercial buildings in the city centre?
Yes, shops, offices and hospitality premises included. We can price from drawings or a site visit and schedule work to suit trading hours where needed.
Are you insured to work on my property?
Fully insured for domestic and commercial work, and rendering carries a 10-year guarantee on top. Documentation is available whenever you want to see it.
How do I get a Sunderland quote started?
Ring 07379 289929 or 0191 622 1865, or use the contact form. We will arrange a free visit, usually within a few days, and follow up with a written price.
