Regular plastering and making good

Regular plastering is still a big part of what we do, from making good tired and crumbling walls to plastering hallways and media walls.

The stairwell after: walls and ceiling freshly skimmed in pink plaster

After

Landing before: dark painted walls flaking, with a lampshade hanging over the stairs

The landing after: smooth fresh plaster down to the stairs and front door

After

Landing and stairs, the same job

Where a lot of jobs start

Blown plaster, layers of old paper and walls that need making good before anything new goes on.

Media walls

For one customer in SK6, Ben plastered the media wall, and once it was dry he and the team created a decorative finish using marmorino and bronze wax.

“Ben did a great job of making good and plastering our tricky hallway with its holes and crumbling walls! The finish is fantastic and Ben was professional, friendly, took care of our home and cleaned up thoroughly afterwards. Wouldn’t hesitate to ask Ben to do the plastering in the next stages of our renovation project and I highly recommend him!”

Lime Plaster & Retrofit Insulation

Alongside the decorative and traditional work, we apply lime plaster and retrofit insulation systems. Here is how one family’s room has fared since.

“A long overdue review for Ben, which is a good thing because we’ve had a chance to experience how the lime insulating system Ben applied for us has performed. Our daughter’s bedroom lost heat quickly in winter and drastically overheated in summer - the change here since the lime system installation is remarkable - the room is much more temperate in summer and the heatless in winter is dramatically improved. The room is so much more comfortable and looks amazing. I can’t thank Ben enough. It is rare to find craftsmen and tradesmen who will work with you and explore new materials and the possibilities. Ben did all that, with enthusiasm and hardwork and helped us achieve a beautiful finish in a room that was desperate for the right kind of attention.

Thankyou Ben”

“Ben completed our plaster work like a true artist he was meticulous at evey stage of the process he obviously takes a pride in his very high standards of workmanship when completing a task.

Ben is a thoroughly nice considerate person who treats his clients like friends.

I can not fault his work in anyway, he is one of the cleanest workmen i have ever come across & have absolutely NO hesitation in recommending him friends & family.

If it were possible I would rate his work 12 out of 10.

Many thanks for a great job beyond my expectations. 👍👍”

“Ben has carried out several jobs for us over the last couple of years and has consistently impressed with his attitude towards his work, his reliability and the quality of the work itsel. Although I hate the phrase, Ben really does tick every box that is required of a contractor. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ben to anyone needing a quality plasterer.”

Dave Hignett, Google review
