Working with plaster or render can be weather dependant and we may need to plan with you as to when this work can be completed. Extreme frost and snow and low temperatures can prevent render and plaster from hardening quickly. Heaters can be used but this may incur extra costs. It is important when planning your project that we take into account the time of year and weather conditions.
We can help and advise on the most effective plastering or rendering system that will complete your project. Where your project needs minor electrical, gas or plumbing alterations we have a number of trades who work regularly with us.
We can work with complex shapes and difficult areas to work in, that’s why we are known as the plastering and rendering specialists.
