We can offer a full service of solid plastering using both cement and gypsum based plaster, traditional haired lime plaster together with riven or sawn lathing, hydraulic lime renders, external stucco, fibrous plaster, GRG and GRC mouldings, floor screeding, drylining including suspended ceilings and partitions and ceramic wall and floor tiling.
We also employ master craftsmen who are skilled in the running of both in situ plaster and cement mouldings and in the conservation and repair of historic decorative and plain plasterwork.
Over the years we have worked further afield, both nationally and internationally.
These projects have included such notable places as the Palace of Westminster and St. Paul’s Cathedral, the lime plastering to the Dome of the Rotunda of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem and the restoration of the Choueke residence in Kobe Japan.
In the prestigious Plasterers Trophy competition, we have been fortunate to have won national awards on four occasions, twice for work at Downing College Cambridge, Brentwood Cathedral and a large country house at Braintree, Essex.
In 2000 the Company were awarded the Crabb Trophy for their work to a new orangery built at a large country house in Suffolk and again in this years competition for work at Sydmonton Court.
The company has recently completed work to the Temple of Diana at Highclere Park near Newbury. This work comprised of replacing lime rendering to the central colonnade including running new cornices and mouldings to match the original details.
Other recent projects include the restoration of the eastern range at King’s Cross Station, the replastering of the Chapel at Lincoln’s Inn, the restoration of the Wren Library at Trinity College Cambridge, lime plasterwork at St Pancras Station, the restoration of Christchurch Spitalfields, the restoration of St Georges Church in Bloomsbury and the remodeling of the Dining Room at Downing College Cambridge.
Current projects include the refurbishment of the Senate House and Library at the University of London, lime plasterwork at Cromford Station in Derbyshire, stucco work to Le Poussin Hotel
in Lyndhurst in Hampshire, restoration of Queen Anne’s Summerhouse on the Shuttleworth Estate in Bedfordshire, lime pargetting work to external facades at the ARC Shopping Centre in Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk and the decorative plasterwork to the Howard Theatre at Downing College Cambridge.
