Services
Internal Plastering
We apply high-quality internal plastering to create smooth, durable surfaces for walls and ceilings. Our process ensures a flawless finish, ideal for new builds or renovations. Clients benefit from enhanced aesthetics and long-lasting results tailored to their property's needs.
Skimming
Our skimming service revitalises old or damaged walls by applying a thin plaster layer. This technique prepares surfaces for painting while maintaining structural integrity. Homeowners and developers appreciate its cost-effectiveness and ability to transform tired interiors.
External Rendering
We provide durable external rendering using sand and cement or modern insulated systems. This service enhances weatherproofing and visual appeal. Clients benefit from improved thermal efficiency and a choice of decorative finishes like Tyrolean or Pebble Dashing.
Floor Screeding
Our floor screeding creates level bases for concrete sub-floors. Using sand and cement mixtures, we ensure even surfaces ready for final flooring. This service is essential for commercial and residential projects requiring precision and durability.
Lime Rendering
Specialising in lime rendering, we restore traditional buildings using breathable, moisture-managing materials. This technique preserves historic structures while preventing damp. Clients value our expertise in maintaining architectural authenticity with modern performance standards.

Tony and his team were fantastic from start to finish. Quick to respond to my initial enquiry. Explained what works were required in laymans terms that I could fully understand and at a very competitive price. Tony kept me informed daily with photos and updates. They were punctual and arrived exactly on time and were very professional and personable. All work was carried out to a very high standard and Tony and the team were meticulous with every little detail. Each day all areas were cleaned and vacuumed, carpets and flooring were protected. Having just moved to Scarborough I could not have

Did a fantastic job at my mum's house. A very friendly and professional team, they made her feel at ease and she is over the moon with the work and the standard that has been done.
Tony was very prompt with the survey and quote. They came on time when they said they would, kept mess to a minimum and left the house tidy and clean at the end of the day and communication was faultless. I would highly recommend

We had a number of walls damp proofed and plastered in a period property. Also some outside work and some vents fitted. Very thorough survey process and honest explanation of the necessary work. Tony and his team kept the house tidy and also completed extra work by fitting an extractor fan in the kitchen. Received a full guarantee with paper work. Very pleased with the work, thanks!
