Complete Plastering Solutions
From essential plastering work to stunning decorative finishes, we offer comprehensive services to meet every need. Each project receives the same dedication to quality and attention to detail.
Skimming
Professional plaster skimming to create perfectly smooth walls and ceilings. Ideal for new builds, renovations, and refreshing tired surfaces. Our skimming service delivers a flawless base for painting or wallpapering.
Learn more →Float and Set
Traditional two-coat plastering system combining a base coat (float) with a smooth finish coat (set). Perfect for uneven walls, blockwork, and surfaces requiring a thicker application for a durable, long-lasting finish.
Learn more →Tacking
Professional fixing of plasterboards to metal or timber stud frames and joists. This method creates strong, level internal walls and ceilings, providing the ideal base for skimming or direct decoration across new builds and renovations.
Learn more →Sticking
Professional plasterboard adhesion directly onto solid walls. An effective solution for drylining that minimises room depth loss while creating smooth, straight walls ready for finishing.

Luxurious Venetian-style polished plaster creating stunning feature walls with a glass-like sheen. Multiple layers are hand-applied and burnished to achieve a sophisticated, reflective finish that transforms any space.
Learn more →Tadelakt
Traditional Moroccan lime plaster, naturally waterproof and perfect for bathrooms, wet rooms, and statement walls. Sealed with olive oil soap, Tadelakt creates a seamless, tactile finish unlike any other material.

“We had our entire ground floor re-plastered and couldn't be happier. Russ was upfront about costs from the start - yes, he's not the cheapest, but the quality speaks for itself. Clean workers who respect your home.”
