    After contacting a couple of people who gave me ridiculous quotes and also could not fit me in for a few weeks I contacted plastering Pro I gave him details of what I needed doing,Liam came out the day after and explained what I needed and what the price would be I explained I was desperate for the job to be done and Liam said he would do it on Friday evening this was after doing a days work else where .Liam came around 5pm and only left around 9pm Liam kept the area clean and tidy and the finished job was fantastic I never leave reviews because I feel they are made up but I can honestly say that Liam is a very good plaster who keeps you informed about the work he is doing A VERY PROFESSIONAL AND COMPETITIVE PRICED TRADESMAN who I really would recommend and definitely would use again THANK YOU VERY MUCH LIAM

    The work was to damp course, reboard and plaster a kitchen.

    Work was carried out sufficiently, with minimal fuss. Also any problems encountered were sorted via a quick phone call to ensure I was happy with how things were running and how they'd be when returning to the job.

I qualified as a plasterer in 2007 and completed an additional year to learn more advanced plastering techniques. Once my 3 year apprenticeship had finished, I was given the opportunity to learn heritage traditional plaster on stately manor houses/ cathedrals/ castles around the UK. I got to see a lot of the country and learnt how valuable the traditional works are and the maintenance and restoration required to keep our heritage alive. I received one of the first level 3 plastering in heritage work certificates from His Royal Highness King Charles.

Upon completion of the heritage contract I moved back to modern plaster in Dorset on the south coast of England. After 4 years on the south coast I returned to Bury and started working with a builder doing full refurbishments of houses. This consists of removing all plaster on walls and taking it back to the brick and stud work. Then reapply base coat plasters to walls or dryline them with plasterboard and finishing off the setting with multi finish.

After a couple of years of this, in 2014 I travelled in Australia. Once there I learnt that I could work as a renderer and hone in on that skill set that I didn’t really get a chance to do in the UK climate. I had my own business and had to learn how to work with customers, employees and the challenges of running a business for the first time.

Having missed the UK I decided to return and established a business in the Dorset area. Working down on the South Coast I had to restart my business and felt that Plaster Pro was the best fit. With my experience, knowledge and qualifications I feel I know what the customer wants and I deliver quality work every time.

In the winter of 2022 I moved back to Bury, wanting to work where I grew up and the area I know.

I bring an excellent work ethic to every contract and provide an honest, reliable and an exceedingly high standard of work.
