Our Services:
Microcement
Microcement is an amazing product composed of cementitious materials, colourants, and resins. It is an incredibly strong and flexible material that can be applied in a series of thin layers to a wide variety of substrates. It typically mimics a polished concrete look, but can also be used to approach the esthetic of polished plasters. Microcement is very popular on floors, and can go straight over old tiles.Unlike traditional Venetian plaster, however, microcement is water resistant, and is therefore often used in showers and wetrooms, with the appropriate sealers. Its versatility means that microcements can also be used on kitchen worktops, bathrooms, corridoors, and many other rooms in your house.It comes in a wide array of colours. In terms of its finish it can range from a rough concrete look, to that of an old plaster wall, to a smooth polished sheen, and its sealants can be matte, silk, or gloss.
Interior Painting & Restoration
I am an experienced interior decorator, with modern vinyl and acrylic paints, but have also utilised more traditional paints such as lime wash and clay paints. I have also done a range of interior works, such as installing panelling, building a fake chimney breast, and restoring old wood furniture.
Heritage Lime Plaster
Italian Plaster refers to any lime or acrylic based decorative plaster. This includes Venetian plaster, Marmorino, Grassello and any textured plaster finish. Polished plaster can be used in any room in a house, from bathrooms, to corridors, to living rooms, feature walls, chimney breasts.

What our customers say?
Chris has done many jobs for us over the years and don’t think there is a single room in our house that he hasn’t worked in from plastering, general repairs, decorating, carpentry, flooring, kitchen unit installation. He has also helped with some garden maintenance. Chris has always done a fantastic job to a high standard and had provided his advise and ideas on how to complete individual jobs which we have always welcomed. I would always recommend Chris to others and have done so on many occasions
