Plasterers in Bearsden, for period homes and new builds.

Working in Bearsden

Careful plastering for older Bearsden homes.

Bearsden has a lot of older houses. There are big villas, sandstone semis and 1930s bungalows, with newer homes in between. Many of the older ones still have lath and plaster walls and ceilings. Lath is thin strips of wood with plaster spread over them.

Over the years, old plaster like this can crack, sag or come loose. That does not always mean a whole new ceiling. Often the team can repair the weak part and leave the good plaster alone. If too much has failed, they board the ceiling and skim it smooth. We tell you which one your room needs.

Plenty of Bearsden rooms have details worth keeping, such as a cornice round the edge of the ceiling or a rose in the middle. If yours does, point it out to us on the survey. We will plan the job with it in mind and talk it through with you before anything starts.

In newer Bearsden homes, the usual jobs are a fresh skim on tired walls, covering an old artex ceiling or plastering a new extension. Some houses need a small roughcast repair outside as well.

You are living in the house while the work goes on, so the team treats it with care. Dust sheets go over floors and furniture first, and the rooms are cleaned before they leave. We survey and price every job ourselves, then work on it with our own small team. There are no subcontractors, and we have over 10 years and 500 jobs behind us.
