Bedworth, between Coventry and Nuneaton, grew around coal mining and ribbon weaving. Its housing includes Victorian and early 20th-century terraces around the town centre, Collycroft and Bulkington Road, inter-war and post-war council and private homes in Mount Pleasant, Goodyers End and Exhall, and newer estates towards Ash Green and Bedworth Woodlands. RCR Connections Ltd is a plastering and rendering company based in Solihull, and we take on plastering work across Bedworth, Exhall, Ash Green, Bulkington, Keresley and Nuneaton.
Plastering services
- Skimming walls and ceilings ready for decorating.
- Re-plastering where plaster has blown or been damaged by damp.
- Ceilings: over-boarding cracked or Artexed ceilings.
- Plasterboard for extensions, loft rooms and garage conversions.
- Patch repairs after electrical, plumbing or kitchen work.
Terraced homes
Bedworth’s older terraces are solid-walled, and blown or salt-stained plaster on lower walls is common. Before re-plastering, the cause of damp needs fixing. That’s often raised paths, leaking gutters or old cement render outside. If a damp specialist has specified a plaster system, we follow it so their guarantee stays valid.
Mining-area movement
Bedworth has a long mining history. Most homes are stable, but wide cracks, cracks that keep reopening, or sticking doors and windows can point to movement. Get a surveyor’s view in those cases. We’ll tell you if we think that’s needed rather than filling cracks that may come back.
Post-war homes
On the many 1950s to 70s homes in Bedworth, textured ceilings are common. Have pre-2000 Artex tested for asbestos before it’s sanded or scraped. Over-boarding and skimming usually leaves it safely sealed in. Common jobs on these houses also include skimming tired walls and boarding out rear extensions and loft rooms.
Getting the room ready

Drying and painting
A skim usually needs a few days to dry, and thicker coats longer. Keep the room ventilated and use a mist coat first.
Planning and rendering
Bedworth is covered by Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council, which handles planning and building control. We also apply sand and cement, silicone, K-Rend/monocouche and insulated render (EWI). See our K-Rend and monocouche page and rendering in Solihull.
