    Dry Lining

    Good work and on time.

    We would highly recommend Mark for any plastering works required . He arrived on time, was tidy and provided great communication throughout the works as to progress etc. He re plastered our kitchen walls and ceiling, and door surround following a leak. It all looks brilliant; we are very pleased with it . We will definitely use him again when needed

    Great and considerate plasterer

    Mark returned to do more plastering for us, this time it was hall, stairs and landing. Once again Mark did a great job and was very considerate to us and as always very friendly.

    Ceiling replacement and repaIr of water damage.

    Mark Gore responded to our Check a Trade enquiry first and with the help of photographs of the damage quickly gave a quote which we thought quite reasonable. Mark was helpful about timing, arrived on schedule and completed the work in the time stated. Very tidy and the plasterwork looks excellent. He charged the price he quoted. We would certainly ask him for help again.

    Plasterer

    Posted 10 May 2025

    Resurface textured ceiling, skim two walls and window recess. Permanent crack repair.

    Cracking where an extension wall joined the original house was repaired using a 'floating' replaster (using wire mesh to isolate natural movement from the surface). Textured ceiling reboarded and plastered. Two walls skimmed, plus skim on the left and right window recess. Mark completed the work in four days, he was reliable and professional. Mark even gave me a tutorial, with hands-on practice, "how to plaster", when I expressed interest. Clearly, a very experienced plasterer who has also completed many other types of building work over the years.

    Plastering wall and ceiling

    Mark did an excellent job of plastering a wall and section of ceiling that was damaged during DIY. His communication was great, he was very pleasant, and did a very professional job. Would definitely contact again!
