Unclear communication
Many homeowners are left guessing what's happening on site, with no single point of contact when issues arise.
Plastering
Flawless walls and ceilings: skim coats, boarding and repairs.
Perfect plasterwork is the canvas for every interior. Our plasterers deliver smooth skim finishes, dot-and-dab boarding and artex removal with dust control and clean handover.
What's included
- Full room skim coats
- Plasterboard dot-and-dab
- Artex removal and overboarding
- Ceiling repairs and replacement
- External render base coats
- Patch repairs and crack filling
Artex and textured coatings in pre-2000 properties may contain asbestos. Testing is required before disturbance. We follow all HSE guidance.
The challenge
Problems homeowners face
Hidden costs and variations
Quotes that grow once work starts — extras, provisional sums and unclear specifications create stress and mistrust.
Multiple trades to coordinate
Organising builders, electricians, plumbers and finishers separately often leads to delays, blame and inconsistent quality.
Poor quality control
Without structured inspections, defects can be covered up and only discovered after handover.
Weak paperwork at completion
Missing certificates, guarantees and documentation cause problems when selling, remortgaging or claiming insurance.

Regulations
Planning & Building Control
Planning Permission
Planning permission may be required depending on the size, location and type of work. We assess your property at survey and advise clearly before you commit.
- We review your property, neighbours and local authority constraints
- We advise whether planning permission or a Lawful Development Certificate is needed
- We can coordinate planning drawings and submissions where required
- Conservation areas and listed buildings have additional requirements
Permitted Development
Many projects fall within Permitted Development rights, allowing certain works without a full planning application — subject to size limits and conditions.
- Size, height and proximity to boundaries all affect PD rights
- Prior Approval may still be required for some extensions
- We verify PD status at survey — never assume
- A Lawful Development Certificate provides peace of mind when selling
Building Regulations
Most building work must comply with Building Regulations and be signed off by Building Control or an approved inspector.
- Structural safety, insulation, fire safety and ventilation must meet current standards
- We coordinate all Building Control submissions and inspections
- Completion certificate issued before final handover
- Non-compliant work can affect mortgageability and resale value
Avoid costly errors
Common mistakes to avoid
Learn from the errors we see homeowners make — so your project runs smoothly from day one.
Choosing on price alone
The cheapest quote often excludes scope that others include — compare specifications, not just headline figures.
Skipping the survey
Ground conditions, access and existing structure affect cost and feasibility. A proper survey prevents surprises.
Ignoring Party Wall matters
Work on or near shared walls may require Party Wall notices — we advise early to avoid delays.
Underspecifying finishes
Vague specifications lead to disputes. We document finishes, brands and standards in your quotation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long before I can paint after plastering?
New plaster needs approximately 2–4 weeks to dry depending on thickness and conditions. We advise on readiness before decoration begins.
Can you remove artex safely?
We test for asbestos content before removal. Where artex contains asbestos, we follow HSE guidelines or overboard as a safe alternative.

Feeling Like Just Another Customer
Customer Completion Gift
A small thank you for choosing us.
A fantastic job done on my property by Kyle and team. Highly recommend them for all roofing and guttering jobs. Also would like to add the great communication from start to finish. Thank you!
Kyle and the team did a great job today of cleaning my garage roof from moss and then painting a polymer waterproof coating onto the roof. The manufacturers 10 year guarantee for a single layer makes it an easy choice for fixing water ingress into a garage. Time will tell, but I have high expectations. All the rubbish generated was taken away so very pleased.
Kyle and his team at Quality Roofing were great, punctual, communicative, and reasonably priced. They removed our old solar heating panel, replaced the felt and tiles underneath, and disposed of the panel, all in under 90 minutes. Great service from a reliable team.
Kyle arrived quickly to look at a problem we had with an old Velux. He quickly set about repairing it and it is now working fine. We really appreciate his quick service. Highly recommended.
