Recommendation for specialist plasterer to restore period features


Lu2011

Recommended Posts

Can anyone recommend a plasterer to refit period plaster features - specifically coving, and ceiling rings plus cross shape across ceiling? Had some quotes but they seem extremely steep (circa 4k). Not looking for moulds to be made - just fitting off the shelf materials to a high standard. Also would be good to hear what people have been paying for this sort of job.

Thanks!

I can recommend Paul Brooks from Kent Mouldings (http://www.kentmouldings.co.uk/). His workmanship is excellent (and there's the additional bonus of being a really nice chap), and is often commented on by other tradespeople. Having told him my misgivings over tradespeople, he was quite happy to invite me to view his work on a job that he was carrying out in north London. Price for installing cornice and ceiling roses in our was very reasonable also, I thought.

I?ve just had Paul from Kent Mouldings install plaster coving and ceiling rose to our reception room and he?s done a truly fantastic job. We got three quotes and he was the cheapest. He?s a lovely guy, very professional and very neat and tidy. I couldn?t recommend him highly enough if your looking for plaster cornice / coving.

Just wanted to add to this thread.


We are so happy we contacted Paul to fit cornicing and ceiling roses in two rooms of our Victorian house. He was able to fit the job in at short notice and gave us a really reasonable price, as well as sourcing exactly the cornicing and ceiling roses we wanted. Most importantly he did a brilliant job of installing them and we are so happy with the result. Paul and his colleague Steve were also lovely guys to have around! Couldn?t recommend more highly.

    • There is a large amount fresh veg available in the green book cage outside the copleston church,sprouts,spring onions,potatoes,parsnips and bread rolls,pop down shame to see it get wasted          
    • On the original topic - there was more of this on Whateley Road today. Same place but the other side of the road. Could be the same dogwalker as for the other nearby roads?   I don't have a dog - but would have thought it's hard for owners not to notice when a dog is doing it in the middle of a pavement? 
    • Thought I’d take a trip down to Rye Lane this morning to visit the charity shops etc. I usually park in the Morrisons car park and buy stuff there and then the nearby shops. I know there are a few shops near the Aylesham centre that are having to close (Boots the chemist was a shoplifters favourite over the years) but I was shocked to see the extent of shop closures, graffiti, overall decline in the area.  Sometimes I get the bus and wanted to visit the Crises charity shop but it didn’t open until 10.30am and it had a coffee place inside. They have a shop in Rye Lane but are missing out on early rising customers. Walking down towards Santendar and the Primark store was very empty.Just hope that isn’t due for closure. The security guards are very nonchalant. The Scope charity shop has a prime position but doesn’t promote the shop Greggs have done away with their self service due to the number of thefts of food items.  The Poundland was quite empty too but I visit this one as they have stock since the Camberwell one closed down.         
    • Maybe I'm behind the times, but in the old days if you went to a pub for charity fundraiser you'd have a quiz or karaoke and you'd be chipping in for a new scanner at your local hospital or maybe sending some poor kiddie for some cancer treatment abroad. Nowadays you can roll down to the Old Nun's head in Nunhead and tip your money into a bucket for some sad young woman to go a private surgeon and have her breasts sliced off -  as if that was going to be some kind of life-saving treatment!  Not only that, she's publicising her Valentine's crowdfunder with a funny ha ha (not) cartoon of a girl (see pic) with a hypodermic in her bum and calling it 'Valen-Tits-off'. Jesus wept. Whatever happened to hearts and flowers? It's so unbelievably sick. I'm a woman, I've pretty much still got all the woman-bits intact. Periods and puberty weren't much fun, I was bullied at school, wondered about my sexuality and boys and spots and the rest of it, got called a lezzer by the class cow, but I got through it. And I would no more think that cutting bits off a girl was the solution to her misery than I would put my teenage daughter on a diet if she was diagnosed with anorexia. I can't be the only person who finds the pub - and its publicity material - very VERY offensive?
