Liverpool flats

Before photo

I am currently re-plastering 12 flats in Liverpool. There is a lot of work to be done as most of the old plaster had to be taken off down to the brickwork, after I boarded the walls (dot & dabbed) I had to form a round where the ceiling meets the wall. I acheived this by applying bonding plaster and using a template to drag the plaster back in a consistant shape. Stop beads were nailed up beforehand to create a clean finish to decorate to once skimmed.

Sand Cement Rendering




Here is an example of some sand cement rendering that I did in Cheshire. The client wanted some contemporary raised garden planters. After being painted they would be filled to the top with soil and planted out. The moat will be filled with water creating an island with water pouring out of the stand alone wall. The method used here was a simple two coat sand cement render smoothed with a polystyrene float and sponged finished. A nice result.

All landscaping was carried out by M J Needham

My plastering blog

Hello everyone, my name is Tom and I am a plasterer. The purpose of this blog is to show some examples of my work to prospective clients or anyone else to who it might interest.

I have been a plasterer for nearly 10 years and have worked on all aspects of plastering in this time. My work has taken me all over the UK as well as Europe. I take huge pride in my work and enjoy new challenges so don't be afraid to contact me.

Cheers Tom
