Testimonial Lime Plastering

Always nice to get an email from a customer who was pleased with some work that I completed recently:

"Mike,

Just to let you know that Janet and I were more than pleased with the work and your enthusiasm to carry out a good job well finished.  You clearly were on our wavelength when it came to dealing with traditional material, and I would have no hesitation recommending you in the future. 

Best Wishes,

Graham Soame."

This was for a lime plastering job I completed in December, here is a picture of the fireplace area

To Hack Off Or Not To Hack Off?

Today I came across a situation with some existing lime plaster on a wall that was suspect hollow. It sounded that way when you tapped it! My school of thought is why leave it to chance, so off it came!

So go with your instinct, remove the old suspect hollow plaster right back to the brick work and replaster!

Best wishes

Mike

Traditional Plastering New Blog

Hello,

This is Mike Robinson and welcome to my new blog! I've been a plasterer for 21 years and to follow will be a series of blogs covering all my future jobs and some of the plastering problems that I will solve.

I hope this helps all readers who have a plastering problem and how they might solve it. Also I will cover materials used and the correct high standard of work that should be achieved.

One of my Specialty skills is working with traditional lime putty plasters and hydraulic lime renders.

Here's to your successful plastering projects!

Best Regards

Mike.
