Smooth walls inside. A weather-tight finish outside.
Plastering and rendering are where quality shows. We deliver flat, clean, long-lasting finishes inside and out.
A good plastering job is almost invisible. Walls are flat, corners are crisp and the surface takes paint beautifully. A poor one shows in every shaft of light.
Outside, render and harling protect your home from Scottish weather while setting the look of the street. We repair, replace and apply new finishes with equal care.
What we take on
- Skim coating and full re-plastering of walls
- Ceiling repairs, replacements and coving
- Patch repairs after electrical or plumbing work
- Traditional harling (roughcast) repairs and recoating
- Modern render systems in a choice of colours
- Plasterboard dry-lining and boarding

How we do it properly.
Preparation does the work
Smooth results come from what happens before the plaster goes on: correct backing, sealed surfaces and clean edges. We do not rush this stage.
Respect the age of the building
Older walls need materials that let them breathe. We choose products suited to the property rather than using one method for everything.
Weather decides the schedule outside
Render needs the right conditions to cure well. We plan external work around the weather so the finish lasts.
Before you call.
Can you fix cracks in my render?
Often yes. We find out why it cracked first, because repairing the symptom without the cause usually means the crack returns.
How long before I can paint new plaster?
It depends on the thickness and conditions. We tell you when it is ready, so paint adheres properly.
Do you plaster after other trades?
Yes. We often follow our own electrical and plumbing work so walls are finished in a single sequence.
