Recommended for careful work and a high quality finish.

Having recently moved house I was in need of a plasterer to do kitchen and lounge walls and ceilings. The work carried out by Gary was fantastic. Follow up tradesmen all noted that they had never seen a better job.

Work that respects how older buildings behave.

Older walls need compatible materials that allow moisture to move naturally through the building.

Gary works with lime plaster, lime render, oak laths, woodwool boards, Savolit boards and cork insulation, selecting materials to suit the age and construction of the property.

Where a project requires additional traditional expertise, Gary can work alongside oak carpenters, brick masons and conservation officers. 

Clients are kept informed throughout the work, from the initial assessment through to the completed finish.
