County Durham, Durham and Sunderland

Walls, ceilings and loft rooms, finished smooth

From a single bedroom to a whole kitchen, a professional and tidy service with free quotes, from a time served plasterer.

  • Plastering walls and ceilings

    Lounges, hallways, bedrooms and whole kitchens, walls and ceilings alike. A professional and tidy service.

  • Skimming and re-skims

    Walls and ceilings boarded or prepared, then skimmed with Sovereign finishing plaster.

  • Boarding and loft conversions

    Plasterboard put up and skimmed, including new rooms in loft conversions, like the bedrooms and bathroom on a conversion in Seaton.

  • Covering artex ceilings

    Artex ceilings covered over, as on a whole kitchen where every wall was plastered too.

  • Damp proofing

    Damp walls taken back to brick and put right: injected damp-proof course, anti-sulphate, tanking where it is needed, then rendered and finished.

“Great service and job from Stephen. From first contact to completion of plastering in lounge and hallway our experience of using this company was first class. The communication throughout the job was excellent and Stephen went over and above suggesting options, solving problems and his attention to detail was brilliant.”
Paul HartleyGoogle review, October 2026
“Absolutely first class. Stephen plastered the main bedroom of my house. Stephen was communicative and quick to respond to all of my questions in the lead-up to the job. He did a beautiful job and left everything neat and tidy, and all for a very competitive price. Delighted with the service and looking forward to working with him again!”

“Excellent service from start to finish. responded quickly to my enquiry, arrived exactly when he said he would, and completed the work to a very high standard. The plastering looks great and he took the time to do the job properly. He was professional, friendly, and kept me informed throughout. I'm really pleased with the result and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to others. Thank you!”

“Absolutely brilliant service from start to finish! Friendly, professional, and clearly takes real pride in his work. Turned up exactly when promised and the quality of the plastering is spot on — couldn’t be happier with the finish. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled plasterer 👍”
Zoe MalamGoogle review, May 2026
“Really excellent from start to finish. I needed my entire kitchen plastering in time for a new kitchen being fitted in a few weeks. Stephen came over really promptly when I enquired and gave me a quote. He asked questions about what I was looking for and explained what was possible. He was also really accommodating given the short notice of my enquiry. The work included all the walls and covering of an artex ceiling - this has now been done and I'm so pleased with how it's turned out. Stephen was friendly, tidy and it looks great. Many thanks again.”
