Plastered Walls

Post by SB Plastering »

Just thought I'd add a couple of pictures, nothing special, to show anyone trying it for themselves what to achieve.

this first picture is showing nice clean straight angles.

notice on this picture how the walls all dry one colour. no stripes and no hollows filled with fat (that wet horrible stuff you get on your trowel when trowelling up)

its also showing a glass roof we had to create a feature of, we had to plaster the sill at the top aswell because the customer said he could see it when looking out of his bedroom window, this is known as the 'first kitchen' and the second one is still half this size! I suppose when you own a multi million pound house you are going to be fussy :lol:

By jingo my plastering looks like that so must be doing something right. Nice work.

I love doing work that has attention to detail such as the kitchen.

Ridiculous prices in Hampstead, would cost you a tenner for a punch in the face there :-)
