Dean was very meticulous even though it was just a wall and done a lovely job plastering it over today, really pleased with how it finished off. … Deans a very experienced knowledgeable guy and i actually learnt something today about plastering too.

One of our jobs

Steel works to support a new opening at the rear of a house, and a full upgrade to the rear conservatory with new roof windows added. We fully insulated, drylined and plastered it throughout, then mist coated it.
