Plastering, skimming and plasterboard

Full ceilings, internal walls and whole rooms, skimmed flat and left tidy. Older houses are no trouble either, Edwardian plaster included. Plasterboarding and studwork are part of the same job when a wall needs building out first.

Patios, stone walls and work out the back

Patios levelled, laid and sealed. Brick and stone walls built, raised or repaired and re-rendered. Fencing too. Gary will look at an awkward plot and work out a plan that keeps the effort and the cost down.

“6 skips of the garden shifted, lots of block work and 23 tons of hardcore later, the result was very successful. Gary’s estimates proved to be accurate and he worked hard throughout.”

“The end result was a well repaired wall and an excellent re-rendering finish.”

What customers say about Gary

5.0from 35 Google reviews

“Gary recently completed plastering work on my property, which was a full ceiling and two internal walls, and the results are outstanding. His workmanship is exceptional, with perfectly smooth finishes and impressive attention to detail throughout the entire project. Gary was punctual, tidy, and clearly highly skilled in his trade. It’s rare to find a tradesperson who combines quality, reliability, and professionalism so effectively. I am extremely pleased with the outcome and would not hesitate to recommend Gary to others and to come back and do future works on my property.”

“Our garden retaining wall needed repair and re-rendering. Gary suggested a repair method and provided us with a very reasonable quote. He turned up on time and worked non stop on two of the hottest days we’ve had in ages. When the old render was removed he suggested an improved repair for the wall which we agreed to go for. The end result was a well repaired wall and an excellent re-rendering finish. What a fantastic job all round. Would definitely recommend and would use again without hesitation, there aren’t many out there that work this hard. Thank you Gary.”

“Our drive was steeply sloped and short, so we needed an additional drive for our caravan and car. The landscape was awkward and we had some ideas, but Gary showed his wide experience and defined a design that would give us what we wanted, keeping effort and thereby costs down. 6 skips of the garden shifted, lots of block work and 23 tons of hardcore later, the result was very successful. Gary’s estimates proved to be accurate and he worked hard throughout. Gary will be our first port of call for future work. Excellent job.”

“Needed our front room skimming, so contacted Gary.. Came and took a look and quoted a fair price, and a good lead time. Did a really good job, on difficult Edwardian plaster , really flat and well finished. Tidied up after and very courteous. Would Recommend.”

“I've contacted Gary for a quote about my patio. He came prompt, lay out a plan and perfectly worked without stopping for 3 days. He managed to re level the floor, patio down, seal it, cleaned after work. I defenetly recommend this company for all your need inside out. After the patio I've requested more work to be done, new plaster walls, outside window sil reconstructed, new planter made from scratched. Next job is tanking my dining room.. Absolutely fantastic. Thx Gary and team 👍”
