David began his plastering apprenticeship in 1987. Since then, his work has taken him from domestic walls and ceilings to challenging specialist plasterwork and wider building projects.
That experience is just as useful for a single repair: understanding the surface, the surrounding work and what will give you a durable, tidy finish.

Experience built over decades — from specialist plasterwork to the everyday repairs that keep a property looking its best.
