Plastering & rendering · Tyne & Wear
Monocouche coloured render, smooth plastering and Artex removal for homes across Sunderland, Newcastle and the North East — finished sharp, left spotless.
Who we are
AG Plastering & Rendering is a Tyne & Wear firm covering every aspect of interior and exterior plastering work. From a single skimmed ceiling to a full house in coloured monocouche render, the standard is the same: crisp lines, flat walls and a clean, protected home while we work.
You'll find our recent jobs across Sunderland, Whitburn, South Shields and Newcastle — and the finish speaks for itself.
01 — What we do
Full properties, extensions and garden walls in through-coloured monocouche render with a scratch finish — weatherproof, low-maintenance and never needs painting. Recent jobs in colours like Blanc Polaire and Ecru.
Walls and ceilings skimmed flat and polished, ready for paint. New boards, re-skims over tired surfaces, patch repairs blended in — inside the room today, decorating tomorrow.
Dated Artex swirls making the house feel stuck in the past? We prepare and plaster over textured ceilings and walls for a smooth, modern finish — no mess left behind.
The parts you don't see matter: black-cement plinths separating render above and below the DPC to resist rising damp, bell casts, beads and clean stops — a rendered look that lasts.
Watch the craft
The scratch finish isn't paint and it isn't luck — it's a through-coloured render, applied and then hand-scratched back to an even, weatherproof texture. Here's the process on a recent job.

Floors covered, furniture sheeted, old surfaces prepared properly — beads, bell casts and boards where they're needed.
Skimmed flat or rendered and hand-scratched to an even texture. This is the part we're known for.
Waste away, site swept, walls ready for paint or already in their final colour. No one does it cleaner.
Mid-job: protection down, surfaces prepped and skimmed — the part most people never see.

It depends on the size of the property, access, the condition of the existing walls and the finish you choose. That's why every job starts with a free, no-obligation quote — send us photos or book a visit and you'll get a clear price before any work starts.
Monocouche is a modern one-coat render that's coloured all the way through, usually finished with a scratched texture. Because the colour is in the material itself, it never needs painting, stays weatherproof for years and keeps its look with minimal maintenance.
Yes — in most cases textured Artex ceilings and walls can be prepared and skimmed over for a completely smooth, modern finish. We assess the surface first, seal or scrape back where needed, then plaster over it. It's one of our most requested jobs.
A properly detailed render sheds rain and protects the wall behind it. Just as important is what happens at the base: we use a separate plinth mix above and below the damp-proof course so moisture can't bridge it, keeping rising damp out while the elevation stays fully rendered.
Most single elevations take a few days; a full house is typically longer depending on size, scaffold and weather. Interior skimming is usually a day or two per room including drying time between coats. Your quote comes with a realistic timeframe for your job.
We're based in Tyne & Wear and work across Sunderland, Whitburn, South Shields, Newcastle, Gateshead, Washington and Durham. If you're slightly further out, get in touch anyway — we regularly travel across the North East for the right job.
