Plastering and rendering in Cardiff
Jetnor Elezi has been skimming ceilings, rendering houses, running K-Rend and laying screed around Cardiff for years, and every photograph on this website is his own work rather than a stock library. Inside: over-skims, float and set, ceilings, dry lining, damp re-plastering and curved feature work. Outside: sand and cement, silicone thin-coat and K-Rend systems, and pebbledash taken off back to sound brick.
South Wales sits in one of the worst wind-driven rain exposure bands in Britain. The renders that survive it are the ones built as a system on a properly prepared wall, with mesh in the base coat and a bead on every edge, and most of what he gets called to strip off failed because that was skipped.
Every job gets a free quote after a proper look at the walls rather than a number down the phone. Floors and furniture get covered before a bag is opened, and waste goes at the end of each day rather than the end of the week.

What he does
Ten things he is asked for most, inside and out. Every one of them gets the same preparation and the same finish.
Plastering & Skimming
Over-skims, float and set, whole rooms and one-wall repairs. Walls flat enough that paint goes on evenly.
Read moreCeilings & Artex
Artex covered or taken off, ceilings overboarded and skimmed, cracks and leak damage put right.
Read moreExternal Rendering
Sand and cement render, scratch and top coat, beaded and finished to suit the house and the weather.
Read moreK-Rend & Silicone Render
Thin-coat silicone systems: mesh-reinforced base coat, through-coloured topcoat, no repainting.
Read morePebbledash Removal
Old dash hacked off back to sound brick, the wall made good, then re-rendered in your choice of finish.
Read moreFloor Screeding
Sand and cement screed laid to level, over insulation or underfloor heating, and dried properly.
Read morePlasterboarding & Dry Lining
Stud walls, dot-and-dab, ceilings and bulkheads — boarded square and skimmed flat.
Read moreDamp & Re-plastering
Blown and salt-damaged plaster hacked off, the cause dealt with, then re-plastered properly.
Read moreLoft & Garage Conversions
Boarding and skimming loft rooms and garage conversions — slopes, reveals and dormers finished square.
Read moreCurved & Feature Plastering
Curved walls, stair soffits, arches and formed recesses — the plastering that is not flat.
Read moreWalls that are actually flat
Most of what a plasterer gets called about is the same handful of jobs: a room that has been papered over one time too many, an artexed ceiling nobody wants to look at, a wall that has blown behind a radiator, a house whose pebbledash has finally given up.
The difference between a good job and a cheap one shows up months later — in whether the paint goes on flat, whether the corners are sharp, and whether the render is still sound after a Welsh winter. That is the part Jetnor charges for.
- Skim over old plaster, or hack off and start again — whichever the wall needs
- Beads on every external corner and reveal, so the edges stay sharp
- Ceilings, coving, chimney breasts, curved walls and stair soffits

Render that survives the weather
South Wales sits in one of the worst wind-driven-rain exposure bands in Britain. A render here has to do more than look right on the day the scaffold comes down.
That means the right system for the wall it is going on, mesh in the base coat, beads and stop-ends at every edge, and no rendering in weather that will not let it cure. Traditional sand and cement, silicone thin coat, or K-Rend — he lays all three.
- Sand and cement render, scratch coat and top coat
- K-Rend and silicone thin-coat systems over a mesh-reinforced base
- Pebbledash removal and re-render, from bare brick up

From your first call to the last day
4 steps, the same every time, so you always know what happens next.
- 1Call or message
Tell him what the job is and roughly when you want it done. Photos help, especially for rendering — send them straight to his phone.
- 2He comes and looks
Free, and at a time that suits you. He measures up, checks what the walls are actually made of, and flags anything that will change the price.
- 3A written price
What is included, what is not, and how many days it takes. If the job needs scaffold or a skip, that is in the quote, not sprung on you later.
- 4Sheeted, done, cleared
Floors and furniture covered before a bag is opened. Waste goes at the end of each day, not at the end of the week.
Photographs of real jobs
Not a stock library in sight — every picture on this site came off Jetnor's own Google Business Profile.






Before and after
The same job, photographed twice. Both pairs came straight off Jetnor's own Google Business Profile.
End-terrace on a corner, Cardiff
The same elevation: scaffolded with the render part run out, then complete before the scaffold came down.
Curved wall to a spiral staircase
Floated up around the radius and left to firm, then finished and ready to decorate.
What customers say
Every review below is printed word for word from the profile it came from. Nothing is trimmed and nothing is cherry-picked.
I would highly recommend Jetnor. He was super quick to respond, and explained what was a very tricky job working around all the existing bathroom and kitchen. The standard of work is fantastic and like a glass finish! Jetnor left the place the as clean and tidy as possible and generally is a great guy! Any job around Cardiff I would highly recommend him! Any future job I would come to him first.
Jetnor's work is fantastic. Punctual polite man. Gave us a great quote. Was able to start quickly. Would definitely use again and recommend. If I could rate him higher I would.
Jetnor responds quickly to requests, gives fair quotes and keeps his commitments, being punctual, hard working and providing quality work. Thoroughly recommend
Quality service. Clean, tidy, polite and very responsive. Lovely hardworking guys, highly recommended.
I cannot rate Jetnor and his team highly enough - they have just finished work on our rendering this afternoon and have done a brilliant job. The work was completed within the agreed timeframe and they have done a brilliant job. All rubbish was taken away after each day and they cleaned up well after themselves. Jetnor was very responsive to my questions and his quote was very competitive compared to others received. I will definitely use Jetnor again and will recommend them to all my friends and family.

Frequently asked questions
Do you charge for a quote?
No. Quotes are free, and Jetnor comes and looks at the job before he prices it. He will not quote plastering or rendering over the phone, because the price depends on what is behind the wallpaper and what state the wall is actually in.
How long before I can paint new plaster?
Until it has gone a uniform pale colour all over — no dark patches left. That is usually somewhere between a few days and a few weeks depending on how thick it went on, the time of year and how well the room is ventilated. Then a watered-down mist coat first, never full-strength emulsion straight onto fresh plaster.
Can you skim over artex?
Usually yes, if it is sound and the pattern is not too heavy — it gets sealed and skimmed. If it is loose, badly stained or the peaks are too proud, overboarding it is the better job and often no dearer once you count the labour.
Do you do small jobs?
Yes. One ceiling, one wall, patching after a leak or a rewire. Ring and ask.
Will you make a mess?
Floors and anything left in the room get sheeted before work starts, and waste goes at the end of each day. His reviews are fairly consistent about this one.
Which areas do you cover?
Cardiff and the immediate surrounds — Llanishen, Lisvane, Cyncoed, Roath, Whitchurch, Llandaff, Radyr, Penarth, Barry and out towards Caerphilly. Anywhere else, ask.
