    Excellent work!

    Posted 14 May

    Chris did a great job plastering the hallway and walls up the stairs. The work looks beautiful and was done very cleanly. I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing plastering done. He was also a pleasure to work with.

    Re-skimmed two very cracked ceilings, in a spare room and an office.

    Posted 10 May

    Good communication the whole time, a couple of reschedules but Chris gave plenty of notice and was accommodating with rebooking. Turned up on time, was super friendly, worked really efficiently, two men got both the ceilings done in one morning. I’ve waited two weeks before leaving this review so I could see how it dried and how well it painted. Looked good on the day, has dried completely now, painted with a mist coat and 2 more coats of paint really well, no lumps or bumps, no need to sand anywhere. They also cleaned up well as we’re mid reno, but they didn’t leave a mark. Very pleased

My name is Chris Whelan I am a fully trained plasterer based in Leicester.

I am a new company, but however I have been doing all aspects of the plastering trade for over 20 years.


I usually work on my own to ensure the work is carried out to a high standard but also have a small team in case of bigger projects that need turning round to again produce a high standard of work.

I can cover most aspects of the plastering trade (re skims, full dry lining packages etc.).


I take my job very seriously; I take extra care in whatever I am asked to do and have built up an extremely good reputation along the way.
