What we do

Plastering and building work, inside and out.

Big job or small, every job gets the same care. We price it fairly, turn up when we say we will, and leave your home clean.

  1. 01

    Interior plastering

    Plastering to a smooth, even finish, ready for decorating. We take real care over the details, keep the work area tidy and leave the room clean when we go.

  2. 02

    Exterior plastering

    Exterior plastering done properly. We plan outdoor work around the weather, because a finish that has to last outside shouldn't be rushed on the wrong day.

  3. 03

    Building work

    Alongside the plastering we take on building work too. Tell us what you need and we'll tell you straight whether it's a job for us.

  4. 04

    Brickwork mortar repairs

    Mortar repairs to brickwork, with the new mortar matched to the existing so the repair blends in with the rest of the wall.

  5. 05

    Honest advice first

How jobs run

Reliable, tidy and straight with you.

We pride ourselves on first class work and on being spotlessly clean. That means the small things matter as much as the finish.

01

We turn up when we say

Quote visits and start dates are kept. If anything changes, you hear about it first.

02

Quality over speed

If the weather is wrong for exterior work, we wait. A good finish is worth a day or two.

03

You're kept in the loop

Clear updates from the first visit to the last coat, so you always know where things stand.

04

Spotlessly clean

Rubbish taken away and everything left clean and tidy. It's part of the job, not an extra.

“Dan did an outstanding job with the plastering. From start to finish, he was professional, reliable, and took real pride in his work. The finish is incredibly smooth, and the attention to detail is excellent. He kept everything tidy, turned up when he said he would, and completed the job to a very high standard. I'm genuinely impressed with the quality of the workmanship and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dan to anyone looking for a skilled and trustworthy plasterer. Thanks again for a fantastic job!”

“I cannot recommend Dan highly enough. He is hardworking, friendly, reliable, and offers excellent value for money. From start to finish, his professionalism and attention to detail were outstanding.

Nothing was ever too much trouble, and he consistently went above and beyond to ensure everything was completed to a high standard. He kept me informed throughout the work, arrived when promised, and left everything clean and tidy.

It's refreshing to find someone who genuinely cares about his customers and takes such pride in his work. I would not hesitate to use Dan again and would happily recommend him to family and friends.”

“Dan was a real pleasure to work with, I would highly recommend him to anyone!

Dan is not only a very skilled plasterer but also an incredibly down to earth and honest individual. I trusted him, his knowledge and his opinion implicitly when undertaking a recent project in my home.

He was able to advise me, list possible outcomes and consult on options for the work being carried out. He arrived on-time and didn’t leave until the job was completed. I had full trust leaving him unattended in my home and he was always communicative.

And of course, most importantly, all his work was without fault and beautifully done.”

“We contacted Dan to do some mortar repairs to our brickwork and clean the gutters out. We arranged a time for him to quote for the job and he arrived on time. We arranged a date for the work to be completed but was delayed a couple of times due to weather conditions and he didn't want to do the work where the quality would be compromised. We were updated all the time and when the work was completed it was a very high standard and matched the existing mortar perfectly. All rubbish was taken away and everything cleaned. I would highly recommend D.H.W and would use again for other jobs.

Thanks Dan keep up the good work. 👍🏼”
